ALMATY, Kazakhstan,
May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Narxoz University, a leading private university in
Kazakhstan and member of Bulat
Utemuratov's Group, is pleased to announce that it has entered into
a ground-breaking partnership with Queen's University Belfast, a
Russell Group university, to еstablish a branch at Narxoz's new
campus. The branch will provide students in Kazakhstan with access to Queen's University's
academic programs.
The agreement, signed at a ceremony attended by Lord
David Cameron, British Secretary of

infrastructure and international partnerships. The new partnership
strengthens the relationship between Queen's and Narxoz, building
on their double degree agreement which was announced earlier this
year.
Sayasat Nurbek, Minister of Science and Higher
Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, said: "In line with
the President's vision to establish branches of international
universities in Kazakhstan, it is
significant that we are signing a partnership agreement with a
Russell Group university at the time of Lord Cameron's official
visit. This signing ceremony is a key moment in Narxoz University's
history and forms part of the wider trend of leading foreign
universities actively opening branches in our country. I am
confident this partnership will contribute to our continuous
efforts to provide world-class education and foster the development
of science and innovation in Kazakhstan."
Nola Hewitt-Dundas, Faculty
Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Queen's University Belfast,
outlined: "As an international University, Queen's
University Belfast is delighted to partner with Narxoz University,
and this partnership builds on the excellent relationships we have
developed with students and university staff. We are confident that
Narxoz University students will excel in their studies and through
engaging with our staff and other students from across the world,
become future leaders across all areas of society in Kazakhstan."
Miras Daulenov, President of Narxoz University,
added: "Our partnership with Queen's University Belfast
is an example of effective collaboration with a top university. I
am confident that the partnership between Narxoz and Queen's
University will boost the training of leaders and industry experts,
promote cultural exchange, and strengthen the country's profile as
