About the department

We build the digital university with our own hands

The department brings together two centres and a development team. We do not buy off-the-shelf solutions where we can do better ourselves: products are built inside the university, reflect its processes and evolve with it.

01

Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics

Artificial intelligence in academic and administrative processes, data analytics, reporting for management and new intelligent services.

02

Centre for Information Technologies

Infrastructure, networks, servers, corporate email, technical support for staff and students, information security.

03

Development team

Design, programming and maintenance of the university's own systems: website, portal, dormitory, library, proctoring, KRK, MOOC.

How digitalisation changed everyday university life

Switch the mode and compare how the same processes used to look and how they work today.

Dormitory

DORM

Before: A personal visit, a paper application and manual records of free places.

Now: An online application in minutes, a live room map and status tracking via an email link.

Admissions

WEB

Official university website

The main digital showcase of KazUTB

A multilingual website with its own content management system, the admissions e-queue and an AI assistant.

The kaztbu.edu.kz website is the first point of contact between applicants, partners, students and the university. It brings together more than a hundred sections: information about the university and its leadership, faculties and departments, educational programmes, tuition fees, news, announcements, documents and research materials. All content is managed by editors through the admin panel without developer involvement.

Project 02 PORTAL In production

Unified university portal

One login, every internal service

A single entry point for staff and students: requests, documents, workflows and notifications in one window.

The portal replaces scattered "call or visit the office" requests with unified digital routes. A staff member or student signs in with a corporate account, sees only their services and submits a request in a couple of clicks. Responsible units process requests in their own workspaces while the requester tracks the status and receives notifications.

Project 03 DORM In production

Dormitory management system

Full cycle: from application to check-in

A large system that handles online applications, the queue, review, check-in and resident records.

Moving into a dormitory used to require a personal visit, paper forms and manual room records. The system makes the whole process digital: a student applies online with attached documents, the housing committee reviews it in an operator workspace, and dormitory staff see an up-to-date room map, free places and each student's residence history.

Library system

Catalogue, collection and e-resources

Electronic catalogue, collection records, lending and returns, reader cards and access to electronic resources.

The library system unites the traditional collection and electronic resources. A reader searches for publications in a single catalogue, reserves books and sees their loans; a librarian manages acquisitions, inventory, lending and returns by barcode. Research papers by faculty are placed in the repository and available to researchers worldwide.

Project 05 PROCTOR In production

Proctoring system

Trustworthy online exams

Identity verification, monitoring of the exam session, recording of violations and reports for teachers.

Proctoring makes remote exams trustworthy. Before the start the system confirms the student's identity, checks the environment and begins monitoring through the camera and screen. Suspicious events, such as other people, window switching or leaving the frame, are recorded automatically, and the teacher receives a report with timestamps and video fragments to make a decision.

Project 06 KRK In production

KRK — Rector's Control Committee system

AI analyses classes in real time

The digital platform of the Rector's Control Committee: scheduled and unscheduled inspections, class visits, instructions and a built-in AI that analyses teachers' classes in real time.

KRK moves the work of the Rector's Control Committee into a digital format. Inspections are planned and carried out in the system, results are recorded against common criteria, and instructions and their deadlines are tracked until closed. Its key feature is the artificial intelligence module: it connects to a class stream or recording, recognises speech and evaluates the lesson structure, alignment with the syllabus topic and student engagement. Committee members get an objective picture of teaching quality without attending every class, and teachers receive specific recommendations.

Career Centre system

Students and employers on one platform

Vacancies and internships from partners, student and alumni CVs, applications, events and employment statistics.

The Career Centre platform connects students, alumni and employers. Partner companies post vacancies and internships, students maintain CVs and apply, and the centre sees the whole funnel from the first application to employment. Events such as job fairs, employer meetings and workshops are announced and collect registrations here as well.

Project 09 MAIL In production

Corporate email

A single @kaztbu.edu.kz account

Work email for staff and students, calendar, spam protection and a single account for access to university services.

How we work

Department principles

01

In-house development

We build core systems inside the university, so they fit our processes exactly and do not depend on external vendors.

02

One account, every service

We aim for single sign-on: corporate email opens the portal, the library, courses and other systems.

03

Three languages by default

Every product is designed in Kazakh, Russian and English from day one.

04

AI where it helps

We apply artificial intelligence to help students and staff: assistants, class analysis, analytics, automation of routine work.

05

Security and reliability

Backups, access control, monitoring and personal data protection are part of every project.

06

Open to requests

Any university unit can propose a new service idea. We evaluate them and take the best into development.
