Office of the President

President’s Welcome

Among universities in the CIS region, KIMEP is a center of excellence for its students, the surrounding community, and Kazakhstan as a whole. From its modest beginnings as a small institution only 15 years ago when President Nazarbayev realized the pressing need for a western style education system to enact economic and social change, KIMEP has grown into a world-renowned center for higher education.

Our mission is to develop well-educated citizens to improve the quality of life in the Central Asian region through training in the fields of business administration, the social sciences and community service, but KIMEP offers more than simply degree programs. KIMEP is a superb undergraduate and graduate institution with the intellectual character of a university, featuring thriving undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.

Our alumni are recruited by top local and international firms and organizations and are found throughout the Central Asian Region, and the world.

KIMEP will continue to maintain its tradition of excellence by offering programs of the highest academic quality. KIMEP is proud of its past achievements, but is preparing for even greater things to come in its future. We are currently in the process of applying for candidacy for full university accreditation. This is a great honor for us as we will be recognized as being equivalent in standards to educational institutions in the United States.

KIMEP has played a critical role in the economic modernization of Kazakhstan. We have trained many political and business leaders for Kazakhstan already, and will continue to provide a world class education to train and enrich future generations of leaders. As Kazakhstan grows and develops as a nation, so too will KIMEP adapt to the needs of our students, faculty and all who grace our campus. KIMEP belongs to the people of Kazakhstan, and it is an institution of which they can be proud.
