Yessenov University places special emphasis on developing international academic mobility and lasting cooperation with foreign universities. Its international ties give students and staff the opportunity to take part in the international academic and research community.
The university’s International Office coordinates student and staff exchanges, double degree programmes, international research cooperation and other international projects. More than 100 cooperation agreements and memoranda have been signed with foreign universities.
According to the university’s 2026 annual public report, the number of international partners has reached 125, and 438 students have taken part in academic mobility programmes abroad. The university also runs 9 double degree programmes and 4 international Erasmus+ projects.
Academic mobility is especially important for the programmes of the Faculty of Philology and Sport. Students of foreign languages, philology and education can enter the international academic environment, learn from foreign educational practice, improve their language skills and broaden their professional outlook.
Academic mobility develops not only students’ academic knowledge but also intercultural communication, independence, professional adaptability and the ability to work in an international environment.
