For Students

Student Life

University is more than lectures and exams. At KazUTB, the student years are filled with creativity, sport, science, friendship and initiatives that help you reveal your character, find like-minded people and take your first steps into a profession.

About student life

An environment where individuals grow

Student life at KazUTB is built around a simple idea: real education does not happen only in the classroom. Here every student finds space for self-realization — from research circles and debate clubs to creative ensembles, sports sections and volunteer movements.

We believe that an active student studies better. Taking part in projects develops teamwork, public speaking, event management and time-management skills — the very competencies valued by employers that cannot be learned from a textbook.

Extracurricular activities are coordinated by the Youth Affairs Committee and student self-government. They give everyone the chance not just to take part in ready-made events, but to propose their own initiatives, gather a team and bring ideas to life with the university’s support.

20+ student clubs and creative ensembles
100+ events throughout the academic year
3 faculties — one student community
365 days of vibrant student life
