KIMEP University values:

KIMEP has seven core values. These values were developed by faculty, staff and students to set the guiding principles of KIMEP University employees and students. The Core Values are intended to guide the culture of KIMEP University, to set the foundation of both the university’s vision and mission. The core values as originally developed for KIMEP University were 12 value statements. At the request of KIMEP Student Association, the core values were revisited during the strategic planning process for the 2018-2021 Strategic Plan. The core values were consolidated to create seven values which are much easier to remember than the original 12.

1. An academic environment, which fosters integrity, mutual trust, free exchange of ideas, lifelong learning and encourages students, faculty, and staff to reach their highest potentials
2. Intellectual and personal honesty in learning, teaching, research, and service.
3. The well-being of students, faculty, and staff.
4. An inclusive environment for students, their parents, alumni, staff, faculty, and the wider community, blind to nationality, gender, age, religion, or other factors not related to the purposes of the University.
5. The development of the future leaders of society who will embrace the highest ethical standards;
6. The University’s high reputation and its important contribution to the growth of society.
7. Transparent decision making, free from favoritism, nepotism or corruption
