Why are we doing it?
This event is organized as part of KIMEP’s recruitment efforts. The main goal is to increase enrollment in the Psychology major for Fall 2026. Hosting on-campus events for prospective students also helps enhance the university’s visibility and reputation.
About the Event
Psych Fusion will bring together faculty members, current psychology students, and prospective students to celebrate and showcase the program through engaging activities and games, with the aim of increasing enrollment for Fall 2026.
Benefits for Attendees
Psychology is becoming increasingly popular in Kazakhstan, with strong employment opportunities due to a shortage of mental health professionals. Our students also recognize the high quality of education and training, as reflected in student feedback and survey results.
Estimated Capacity: 70 participants
Target Audience: Secondary school students graduating in Spring 2026
Refreshments (pizza and soda) and participation prizes will be provided.
