It is the only university in Kazakhstan that has courses taught in 14 languages, and it

Kazakhstan’, the National Standards and National Curricula for several study
programmes.
We are looking for partners in the UK to develop staff and student mobility

Studies, Philological Studies, Oriental Studies, Translation and Interpretation,

Law, Marketing, Pedagogy and Psychology.
Ablai Khan University is a signatory of Bologna Charter. We have participated in
several Tempus and Erasmus Mundus projects. Our International Office has been

Moreover, we have agreements with several universities from other countries in
