A brief history of the faculty

"
KAU is a unique institution synthesizing the best traditions of the Soviet and American educational systems. The idea to create a university based on the synthesis of programs of American and Kazakh universities under contracts belonged to Amirlan Aidarbekovich Kusainov, the founder and President of KAU, since in 1997 the only university teaching in English was KIMEP, which at that time did not have a bachelor's degree.
