History of the Department
The idea of founding the Department of International Relationships and complex of international specialties that defines our university’s image, was proposed by Salima S. Kunanbeva . Just at that time, spring 1998, the idea of creating university of new structure was born. The university which would reflect actual needs of Independent Kazakhstan, oriented to the best samples of foreign education. It was important and proved to choose liberal international directions as primary profile of university. Founding of independent Department of International Relationships in university was significant landmark in extension of educational space of our educational agency. It’s impossible now to realize KazUIR and WL without variable international teaching of specialists.
