Why NU?
Partners, not just logos
The Bachelor of Business Administration at the Graduate School of Business was launched in strategic partnership with the Fuqua School of Business (Duke University). The other schools also work with universities abroad.
Research from year two, not “someday”
A research university means students work in labs and on projects alongside faculty researchers. This is your first portfolio case and a strong argument for graduate school and employment.
Programs you won’t find at other universities in the region
The School of Engineering and Digital Sciences develops computer science, aerospace and mechanical engineering. The School of Mining and Geosciences trains specialists for the oil and gas and mining industries.
An environment that lifts you up
A campus in Astana, students from across the country and abroad, clubs, projects, international competitions. You grow among people who also want more.
