Dear International Students,
Welcome to KIMEP University! We are pleased that you have chosen to complete a part of your studies here. With your plan, you are taking on a
special challenge: going to study in a foreign country and in a foreign city, and in a language that may still be foreign to you. That takes courage and a
great deal of commitment! We will do our best to support you during your stay, for we want your experience at KIMEP to be a positive one – both
academically and personally.
KIMEP is the oldest western-style university in Kazakhstan and offers the broad range of study programs. People from many countries study, teach, and
work in the university’s 3 faculties and 11 departments. Approximately 10 percent of our 3200 students and almost 80 percent of our professors are of
foreign nationality. Many of our successful research projects are based on international collaboration. We see internationality as both a challenge and a
mark of quality.
The International Relations Office is responsible for promoting international activities at KIMEP, including student activities. This is a particularly
important point for us, for as a student you, too, contribute towards the internationality of the university: You bring us your experiences from your
university at home, and you take your experiences in Kazakhstan back to your own country. And so we encourage you to make use of your time and
opportunities in Almaty: Get to know people! Talk to people, ask questions, and exchange ideas with others! Don’t be afraid to enter into discussion
with your fellow students, or to explain your perspectives to your instructors. You will learn the most about us that way, and we will benefit from your
showing us that in addition to the “KIMEP way,” there are other ways, too. On this note, we wish you all the best and a most interesting stay at our
University, in the city of Almaty, and in Kazakhstan.
International Relations Office team
Welcome to Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the KIMEP University
The city of Almaty
KIMEP is located in the heart of the flourishing city of Almaty, the commercial capital of Kazakhstan. With population of over 1 million people,
Almaty as the biggest city in Kazakhstan is also one of the most beautiful cities of Central Asia. Almaty has perhaps one of the most striking and
beautiful locations of any city in the world. Located in the spectacular foothills of the Zilishkiy Alatau mountains, Almaty is a pleasant city to live in,
vibrant, green, and with a thriving cosmopolitan culture. The impressive mountains are only half an hour’s drive from the city center. KIMEP is an ideal
place for international students to study and Almaty a great place to live. The diversity of the city comes from the tolerant, cosmopolitan, and
multicultural population and from its renowned cultural facilities and various alternative and smaller-scale cultural events.
Kazakhstan: Facts and figures
State: Independent since 1991. Political system - Republic; authoritarian presidential rule, with little power outside the executive branch. Capital –

minorities include Uighurs, Uzbeks, Belorussians, Dungans, Koreans, Chechens, and Greeks). Religion – Islam, Christianity. Area – 2,725 thousand sq
km; the size of Western Europe; the 9th largest in the world. President – Mr. Nursultan Nazarbayev.

KIMEP University
KIMEP University is the oldest independent North American-styled academic institution in the CIS. KIMEP (formerly The Kazakhstan Institute of
Management, Economics, and Strategic Research) was established on January 1, 1992 by the resolution of Nursultan Nazarbaev, the President of the
Republic of Kazakhstan. The idea of the Institute dates back to early 1991, when President Nazarbaev, acutely aware of the Republic's urgent need for
trained personnel, asked Doctor Chan Young Bang to create an entirely new educational institution in Almaty, staffed by foreign instructors and
operating according to the highest academic standards of the European Community and the United States. Today, KIMEP is a non-profit institution of
higher education. Its mission is to develop well-educated citizens and to improve the quality of life in Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region through
teaching, researching, and the advancement of knowledge in the various educational fields and through community service. KIMEP gives you the
opportunity to study on a regular, exchange, or non-degree basis. KIMEP University faculty is made up of both Kazakhstani and expatriate scholars, the
vast majority of whom earned their Masters and Doctoral Degrees from European and North American Universities. KIMEP has about full-time 3200
undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students with about 10% being international students. Students come from 25 different countries, including
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, the USA, the UK, Germany, China, and Turkey. KIMEP provides a wide range of
student support services including student dormitory, sport complex, medical center, research and development center, computer labs, and libraries.
There is no discrimination at KIMEP on racial, national, sexual, religious, or any other terms. Kazakh students live and study together with their
international classmates.
KIMEP offers degree programs, including undergraduate and graduate programs in Business, Social Sciences, Law and Foreign languages. A doctoral
program in Business Administration, an Executive MBA program, a wide range of certificate programs and short courses are also offered. KIMEP
University’s world-class curriculum is based on international standards, and all of its classes are taught in English. Utilizing a strong support system
that features a first-rate Language Center, the largest English-language library in the CIS, a modern Sports Center and much more, KIMEP University
strives to provide an invaluable academic experience for all of its students and faculty.
KIMEP has established links and partnerships with more than 110 universities in North America, Europe and East Asia, which offer exchange programs
and dual degree programs for undergraduate and graduate students, joint forums and research opportunity, faculty visiting and exchange programs,
summer schools, and study abroad programs. Around 25 % of KIMEP students do part of their studies at our international partner universities.
KIMEP University is committed to developing strong dual degree programs with some of the world’s most famous universities. Completing a dual
degree program increases the students’ employability after they graduate, providing them with more and better job opportunities, both in Kazakhstan
and abroad. Nowadays 13 dual degree programs with renowned universities in Europe and South Korea are established. Among them there are such
universities as City University London and University of Glasgow in the UK and Yonsei University, South Korea.

Study at KIMEP
Academic practices and principles
KIMEP follows the credit system in evaluating students' performance (read more about it in the next section). Teaching, studying, and working at
KIMEP are conducted in English. Every student is assigned a faculty member as his or her academic advisor. In addition to having the advisor,
international students have a local student comrade/friend who helps an international student to transit smoothly to KIMEP and its culture, to Almaty,
and to Kazakh culture in general. Usually these student mentors/friends are members of KIMEP International Students Association (KISA). In general,
students should expect Western teaching and studying methods that imply pro-active student participation in seminars and workshops, or, in other
words, more independent way of learning and studying; they are going to work in teams, do group assignments and presentations, and conduct their
own research. Though attendance to all classes is crucial in evaluating the student’s progress, many professors do not take official attendance, but
seminars and coursework are very demanding and students are highly recommended not to miss classes at all. There is no discrimination at KIMEP on
racial, national, sexual, religious, or any other terms. Kazakhstan students live and study together with their international classmates. Approximately
160 faculty members, or about 40 percent of total faculty, are from 30 different countries such as the USA, the UK, Canada, India, Italy, Bangladesh,
and others who hold terminal degrees from recognized universities worldwide. Among other innovations is the students' evaluation of teachers'
performance. Monitoring is done once a semester and then passed to the faculty academic councils for further quality assurance work. It should be also
noted that teacher-student relations are demanding high performance from each other, the feature that reflects mutual respect and openness.
Academic calendar
The Academic Year consists of two semesters Fall and Spring. There are additional short semesters in summer: Summer 1 and Summer 2. Summer 2 is
presented by the International Summer School. Students may design their own schedule. Minimum 1 course and maximum 6 courses are allowed to
register per regular semester. Maximum 3 courses are allowed for registration in Summer 1 and 1 course only in Summer 2 semester.
Classes may last from 50 to 75 minutes. Some classes imply lecture and tutorials sessions. Typically a semester long course will meet for forty-five
class contact hours and is worth three credits. However, some courses are worth more than three credits and some worth less. To earn a degree from
KIMEP University, a student completes a set of credit requirements for a particular program. Another requirement for graduation is a minimum level of
scholastic performance, which is measured by the grade point average or GPA. KIMEP University uses a letter grading system and follows North
American and ECTS credit systems.
More detailed ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES may be found in KIMEP Catalog.
Academic calendar:
Fall 2013
Spring 2014
Summer 1, 2014
Summer 2, 2014 (International Summer School 2014)
Tuition and fees
Tuition at KIMEP is paid based on the number of courses a student registers for in any given semester. Students can opt to take between one and six
courses per semester, depending on their personal preference and study plan. Tuition can be paid in three installments for the Fall and Spring semesters,
allowing students to make payment on an almost monthly basis. Tuition for Summer semesters and non-degree studies must be paid 100% before the
start of the semester. For more information about payment deadlines, please see the Academic Calendar. KIMEP awards various types of financial aid
in the form of grants, tuition discounts and work-study discounts. Tuition, other fees and types of financial aid are available on KIMEP website.
Orientation Program
International students are recommended to arrive 1 week prior the start of classes in order to timely arrange migration, medical matters, courses
registration and to participate in Orientation Program.
The Orientation Program is obligatory to attend and is organized by KIMEP University at the beginning of each semester. This program is aimed to
help you adapt to the KIMEP University environment, and make your life and study more organized and pleasant. International Students who were late
for Orientation Program may be advised individually by the Support Learning Center and the International Relations Office. Schedule can be found on
website or in Acceptance letter.
Also the International Relations Office in collaboration with our student organizations, will organize the following events for international students:
- Welcome Party
- International Students Day
- Nauryz Spring Festival
- Sightseeing Trips in and out of Almaty
- Cultural events
- Farewell Party
Student organizations
Student Organizations play a vital role at any academic institution. KIMEP is not an exception. For our students personal development that occurs
outside the classroom is as important as what is learned inside the classroom. Social life at KIMEP is very active. Students are free to choose which
club to join and where to spend his or her free time. Some students are interested in sports: they attend the gym regularly, do aerobics or bodybuilding,
play tennis, or go just jogging around the campus. Other students meet and spend time together in student organizations (see the list below) like student
debates club, join Students in Free Enterprise Association (SIFE), AIESEC, KVN, or take part in the organization of events like beauty contests and
various student conferences. Indeed, KIMEP's English-speaking environment offers a number of possibilities for students to be together and spend time
in an enjoyable way.
Currently, there are about 30 registered Student Organizations that bring unlimited excitement and energy to the KIMEP campus. In addition, their
work contributes greatly to the intellectual and personal development of our students. When possible, we always
encourage our student leaders to participate in the development of KIMEP policy and procedures and often invite them to serve on KIMEP Standing
Committees to represent the interests of students. Some of the more active organizations include:

Casual. Formal. Traditional. KIMEP is very open for students and does not constrain them in the way they want to behave or dress as long as it does not
offend others (or damage facilities). Almaty is the center of fashion in Central Asia and is perceived to be most European. Jeans and shirts, T-shirts and
shorts, or suits and long skirts, red hats or anything that looks good on you is the best One would also note that our people tend to dress beautiful and
very fashionable every time they are out of their homes. It may be a challenge for those who are used to super-casual dressing and may also be
interpreted as the overwhelming ambition to be the best in everything.
