Сooperation with kyrgyz universities: double degrees and academic mobility programs

On September 17–18, 2025, Chair of the Board – Rector of Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University, Beibitkul Karimova, met with Rector of Jusup Balasagyn Kyrgyz National University, Dogdurbek Chontoev, to discuss the implementation of a joint double-degree master’s program.

Starting from the 2025–2026 academic year, the double-degree program in Pedagogy and Psychology has been launched. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that students will be awarded two diplomas: one from Korkyt Ata University in Pedagogy and Psychology and another from KNU in Psychology.

In addition, KNU organized a joint summer school at Issyk-Kul in the summer of 2025, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Students from universities in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan took part in the event. Rector Beibitkul Karimova also met with Kyrgyz students who studied at Korkyt Ata University during the previous semester and exchanged views.

During her visit to Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, the Chair of the Board – Rector participated in the celebrations of the university’s 30th anniversary and highly appreciated the cooperation between the two universities in terms of academic mobility and scientific collaboration. Currently, Korkyt Ata University students are studying at Manas University under the Orkhun program.

It should be noted that for the first time, Jusup Balasagyn Kyrgyz National University entered the QS WUR 2025 world ranking (positions 1201–1400), while Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University was ranked in the 951–1000 range.
