non-profit university in Almaty in
the Republic of Kazakhstan, today
announces strong progress on its academic transformation journey

The partnerships create a strong foundation for the University's
continued academic transformation in the rest of 2024 and beyond,
which will be led from June

Daulenov. Kozhakhmet has extensive experience at leading
Kazakhstani universities across teaching, research, and management.
His new role will see him responsible for the management of the
University, focused on driving academic excellence and developing
research initiatives.
Marat Atnashev, Chairman of the Board of Directors said:
"I am delighted to announce our strong progress against our
strategic priorities so far this year. Mr. Kozhakhmet's appointment
will help to continue our progress. Over the past three years,
Narxoz University has rightfully earned its reputation as a dynamic
and modern higher education institution across the region, and I am
confident that this will continue to go from strength to
strength."
Miras Daulenov, the President of Narxoz
University, commented: "It has been incredibly
rewarding to lead the University during a period of rapid
development. Last year we entered 7 international ratings,
including the prestigious QS World University rating, and rose from
33rd to 5th place in local rankings, and have
signed a number of international partnerships this year to ensure
this continues to rise further. Our work would not have been
possible without the incredible efforts of colleagues, partners,
students, and the support of Bulat Utemuratov, for which I am
immensely grateful. The groundwork has been laid and I look forward
to seeing how the University continues to grow in the
future."
Bulat Utemuratov, Philanthropist and owner of the
University said: "The transformation of the University,
which began in 2007, is bearing fruit and our results this year
underscore this, with our academic excellence beginning to shine
through. Our management team comprises some of the leading
professionals in the field of education. Miras Daulenov and the
team have done an excellent job, and I am grateful to them for
their contribution to the University. I am confident Kanat
Kozhakhmet will continue to build on this strong
foundation."
