On November 7, KazGASA welcomed an official delegation from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The delegation was received by Bakhtiyar Asylbayuly, Rector of KazGASA. The meeting served as an important platform for discussing prospects for international academic cooperation, strengthening inter-university relations, and expanding opportunities for collaboration in higher education and scientific research.

During the official meeting, the leadership of KazGASA and representatives of the Malaysian university discussed potential areas of bilateral cooperation, the exchange of experience in educational and research activities, as well as opportunities to implement joint initiatives aimed at developing academic partnerships.

Particular attention was paid to the internationalization of higher education, expanding international academic contacts, and creating additional opportunities for the professional and research development of students and faculty members. International cooperation opens up new opportunities for knowledge exchange, the integration of advanced educational practices, and the establishment of sustainable academic partnerships between universities.

An important part of the visit programme was introducing the delegation to KazGASA’s educational, research, and technical infrastructure. A guided campus tour was organized for the guests, including visits to the university’s academic facilities and research laboratories.

During the tour, representatives of the International Islamic University Malaysia had the opportunity to learn more about the organization of the educational process, the university’s approach to specialist training, and its research and practical activities. Particular attention was given to the university’s laboratory facilities, which support the practical component of education and contribute to the development of students’ research competencies.

Such visits play an important role in expanding the university’s international presence, strengthening its academic standing, and fostering professional dialogue with foreign educational institutions. The exchange of experience between universities not only provides insights into different approaches to higher education but also lays the foundation for future joint educational and research projects.

KazGASA continues to systematically develop its international cooperation by expanding partnerships with foreign universities and professional organizations. Strengthening academic ties, integrating international best practices, and creating new opportunities for students and faculty remain important priorities in the university’s strategic development.
