Kh. Dosmukhamedov Atyrau University and Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University (Republic of Türkiye) have signed a bilateral cooperation agreement.
The document was signed by Professor Salamat Idrissov, Chairman of the Management Board and Rector of Kh. Dosmukhamedov Atyrau University, and Professor Mehmet Naci Bostancı, Rector of Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University.
The longstanding ties between Kazakhstan and brotherly Türkiye in education and science are now being translated into concrete initiatives. As part of academic mobility programmes, undergraduate and master’s students from Atyrau University study and undertake research internships at Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University and other Turkish universities. In turn, Turkish students come to Atyrau University to study and gain practical experience.
Cooperation is also being expanded through the Orhun Exchange Programme for Turkic countries. In recent years, more than ten scholars from Türkiye have visited Atyrau University, where they delivered lectures and shared their academic expertise. Faculty members from Atyrau University have also completed internships at partner universities in Türkiye, further strengthening academic and research ties. As a result, joint research is being developed, while articles by the University’s scholars are regularly published in the academic journals of partner institutions.
The new agreement aims to deepen the existing cooperation, expand academic exchanges and joint research, increase faculty and student mobility, and implement joint cultural and research projects. The parties expressed their intention to take the partnership to a new level and begin implementing dual-degree programmes.
The signing of the agreement marked an important step towards strengthening cooperation between the two brotherly countries in education and science and opened up new opportunities for further collaboration.
