The International Office and the Buddy for International Students (BIS) hold various cultural activities during the year. In synergy, two teams plan and implement International Student Orientation Day, Welcome and Farewell parties, International EXPO, Birthdays, various trips in and around Almaty, and other programs.
KIMEP University takes care of international students, both regular and those coming for a shorter period as a part of exchange, non-degree, and dual degree programs. With international events and Kazakh hospitality, KIMEP helps students smoothly transition into a previously-unknown environment, encourages them to share their traditions with us, creates a warm atmosphere to make new friends, and makes students feel at home in Almaty.
