New branches of leading foreign universities are set to open in Kazakhstan.
The country continues to expand international cooperation in higher education.
The possibility of opening a branch of Australia’s Murdoch University in Semei
was discussed at a meeting between Science and Higher Education Minister
Sayasat Nurbek and university representatives. The parties also signed a
memorandum of understanding between Shakarim University and Murdoch University.
The agreement provides for the development of joint educational and research
projects, academic mobility for students and faculty, as well as the
development of specialist training programs. Kazakhstan is also strengthening
its partnerships with universities in Japan and South Korea, including Tokyo
Metropolitan University and the United Nations University. In Alatau, plans are
underway to build a campus of one of South Korea’s leading technological
universities, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
This will expand training opportunities for specialists in AI, digital
technologies, and engineering. The ministry also highlights the development of
dual-degree programs between Kazakh universities and other South Korean
institutions. A Computer Science program is already being implemented, while
preparations are being made to launch programs in AI and information security.
