In the spirit of fostering a close international relationship
between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates,
developing bilateral relations in educational and scientific
fields, and wishing to make their own contributions to the
development of cooperation between the two institutions, AURAK and
the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University signed an MoU.
The memorandum of understanding aims to promote educational and
scientific cooperation, which would be facilitated through the
exchange of students and faculty, as well as collaboration in
research. The newly-signed agreement also provides a basis for
cultural exchange between the United Arab Emirates and the Republic
of Kazakhstan, as well as the possibility for even closer academic
ties between the two institutions, through dual degree
programs.
Dr. Lee Waller, AURAK Dean of Student Success and Enrollment
Management, was overjoyed with the opportunity to solidify cultural
connections this partnership enables, “The celebrated signing
between Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and American
University of Ras Al Khaimah will increase collaboration
between these two highly respected international universities and
open the door of opportunity for the peoples of both nations.”
Assuredly, both AURAK and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University
will experience student success fostered from the collaborations of
this partnership. Prof. Hassan asserted, "In Al-Farabi Kazakh
National University we have an esteemed collegiate cohort which
will bolster the educational experience for our students with ample
opportunities to advance them both in their studies and in making
international connections.”
At present AURAK has a range of international partners across
Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, opening a wide spectrum of
possibilities to students including exchange and study abroad
programs for up to one year, as well as shorter summer
sessions.
