It all started in May 2022 at an alumni dinner with the KIMEP administration. The rector, Dr. Bang, spoke about the history of KIMEP. Since its founding in 1992, the university has aimed to give Kazakhstan world-class education.
A university where students get quality education in English without going abroad.
