On November 21, 2024, a delegation from Karaganda Buketov University, headed by Rector N. O. Dulatbekov, visited the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University.
During the visit, a meeting was held with the university’s leadership to discuss academic cooperation and the development of educational programs.
Special attention was given to the signing of memoranda of cooperation between Karaganda Buketov University and several leading educational institutions in Central Asia: Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, Osh State University, and Namangan State University. These agreements open up new opportunities for collaboration in scientific research, experience exchange, and the creation of joint educational programs.
The prospects for establishing a dual degree program with Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University in the fields of Turkology, Cultural Studies, and Religious Studies were also discussed. The implementation of this initiative will allow students from both sides to engage in academic and scientific exchanges, broadening their educational horizons.
During the negotiations, an agreement was reached to implement a student exchange program: 15 students from Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University will visit Karaganda Buketov University, and in return, 15 Buketov University students will travel to Kyrgyzstan to visit the country’s sacred sites as part of the Ruhani.kz project.
In addition, the meeting explored opportunities for faculty exchange and joint scientific research in the fields of humanities and social sciences. These steps aim to deepen cooperation within the framework of educational and cultural ties between universities in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
