There are numerous choices in the notes used to tune an Ukulele. The most common is the 'My Dog Has Fleas' tuning. These would be g' c e a, where the g is actually a higher note then the C. Done this way, the top string (4) on the second fret would be the same as the bottom string (1) when open.
You can tune it according to another instrument like a guitar or piano. The notes are g,c,e,a. just play the note on another instrument, and match the pitch on your ukulele, also the notes go from low to high.
