In today’s world, international activities within universities play a pivotal role in nurturing an educated and globally conscious generation of students. These endeavors foster traditions of tolerance, intercultural understanding, and the ability to address complex global challenges.
At IITU, our commitment to international cooperation aligns with our development strategy, aimed at elevating the university’s standing in the global academic sphere. Our primary objectives include securing positions in international university rankings, fostering collaborative projects with leading foreign institutions, expanding the presence of foreign faculty and students, and developing joint educational programs resulting in dual diplomas.
Our efforts to cultivate partnerships span continents, covering Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa, with a primary focus on enhancing academic mobility and facilitating joint educational programs. These dual degree programs allow students to study at two institutions, enriching their knowledge and skills across diverse cultural and educational environments. Graduates of such programs possess unique and highly attractive qualifications for the global job market.
Currently, IITU offers dual degree programs in collaboration with esteemed universities in Germany, South Korea, Malaysia, and Poland for both undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, our academic mobility program provides students with the opportunity to study at top-tier institutions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
In pursuit of an internationally oriented and educated society, IITU has attracted renowned foreign educators. This not only enhances the quality of education but also nurtures students’ development, making them well-prepared to tackle the challenges of globalization and engage with the global educational community.
Our commitment to knowledge exchange, technology sharing, and experiential learning is evident through international projects with organizations such as UNICEF, Erasmus, and collaboration with American and British consulates. These endeavors bring together experts from various countries to address complex issues and drive groundbreaking discoveries.
Moreover, our adoption of the educational platform Coursera for Campus has revolutionized learning at IITU. It allows our students access to unique courses from leading global institutions and technology companies, complete with the opportunity for free certification. IITU proudly became the first university in Kazakhstan and Central Asia to collaborate with Coursera for Campus, integrating their content seamlessly into our educational ecosystem. We’ve expanded our course offerings significantly to provide our students with a broad international perspective and practical skills.
In a historic moment for Kazakhstan, our top-performing students received diplomas directly from Coursera CEO, Jeff Maggioncalda, recognizing their exceptional dedication to global learning.
IITU remains committed to strengthening cooperation with the global scientific and academic community, universities, and public organizations. Our doors are open to foreign applicants, students, interns, and teaching staff, embodying our dedication to fostering international understanding and collaboration.
In conclusion, IITU’s relentless pursuit of internationalization is not just a vision but a tangible reality. It empowers our students with the skills, knowledge, and global perspective necessary for success in a rapidly evolving world. Together, we are shaping a future generation that is truly internationally oriented.
