International cooperation

ENU is a member of the International Academy of Higher Education Sciences, the Eurasian Association of Universities and the Association of International Studies of the CIS and Baltic Countries, the International Association of Universities and the European Association of Higher Education Institutions. In 2005, the university signed the Magna Carta of the Universities of Europe in Bologna (Italy).

ENU was the first Kazakh university to enter the top 500 best universities in the world according to the rating agency QS World Universities (2010).

International cooperation is carried out on the basis of 343 agreements with foreign universities, research centers and organizations from 52 countries. ENU implements 30 joint educational programs with 13 partner universities (of which 8 programs are within the framework of the CIS SU, 4 – within the framework of the USCO and 18 – within the framework of interuniversity agreements). The University, based on memoranda of cooperation with foreign and domestic universities, allows teaching staff to undergo academic mobility and give lectures at foreign universities. This mobility is implemented both within the framework of memoranda and within the framework of the international Erasmus+ and Mevlana programs.

As part of academic mobility, 563 students studied at foreign universities, and 844 foreign students studied at ENU. More than 1,500 university students study in English in 632 academic disciplines.

L.N. Gumilyov ENU cooperates with the Center of the Bologna Process and Academic Mobility Enik-Kazakhstan, whose main function is scientific, methodological and information-analytical support for the implementation of the parameters of the Bologna process in the system of higher and postgraduate education in Kazakhstan, as well as accounting and analysis of educational programs by type.

Scientists from such countries as China, Russia, USA, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, etc. are involved in the implementation of educational programs. In addition to the implementation of the program of financing foreign specialists at the expense of ENU funds on a long-term basis, since 2020, a program of attracting foreign specialists on a remote basis at the expense of the budget is being implemented ENU. Every year, according to the request of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, foreign scientists are attracted to ENU at the expense of the republican budget. Along with this, cooperation with embassies is expanding, as well as other organizations that provide funding for attracting foreign specialists within the framework of various extra-budgetary types of financing, such as Erasmus+, communication, government grants from foreign countries (Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, etc.).

Taking into account the current trends aimed at internationalization of educational and scientific activities of the university, increasing the requirements for the competitiveness of educational products in the domestic and foreign markets, as well as taking into account the need to modernize the personnel potential, the Department of Chemistry considers international cooperation as a tool to achieve its goals and objectives. 

Classes are held in three languages (Russian, Kazakh, English). The incoming academic mobility of students is widely developed, so over the past 3 years, 5 citizens from Russia have been studying, and students have also studied at universities of the Republic of Belarus, France, Russia, Japan, Armenia, Romania, Poland, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Finland on outgoing mobility. Our professors have lectured at universities in Spain (University of Seville, Seville), the University of Natal in Pietersmaritzburg, South Africa.
