"Al-Farabi Kazakh National University also called KazGU or KazNU, is a university in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Named after the Muslim scholar al-Farabi, it is the country's primary and largest university. KazNU is the oldest classical university of the Republic established by the Decree of the Kazakh Regional Committee (KRC) office dated November 13, 1933. One year after Kazakhstan's 1990 declaration of independence, the name was changed to Al-Farabi Kazakh State University. In 2001, the government classified it as a "national" university."

International Hoca Ahmet Yesevi Turkish-Kazakh University (Ahmet Yesevi Üniversitesi - AYU) is an international and autonomous mutual state university of the Republics of Turkey and Kazakhstan. The foundations of the University were first laid under the name of Turkistan State University a short time before the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics upon the decision of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the President of Kazakhstan, dated June 6, 1991. The basic mission of the University was determined as “improving the city of Turkistan, the historical science and culture centre of the Central Asia.”
Upon “The Common Declaration”, which was published in the Almaty Summit, organized on 29 March-1 May 1992, between Nursultan Nazarbayev, the President of Kazakhstan, and Süleyman Demirel, the Prime Minister of Turkish Republic, and “The Cooperation Agreement in Fields of Education, Science, Culture and Sports”, which was signed between two countries on May 1, 1992, it was decided that Turkistan State University shall be the mutual university of both countries, and The Memorandum of Understanding concerning the issue was signed on September 28, 1992, in Ankara.
“Agreement on Founding International Hoca Ahmet Yesevi Turkish-Kazakh University in the city of Turkistan” was signed between the governments of two countries at The Summit of The Presidents of Turkish-Speaking Countries on October 31, 1992 in Ankara. The agreement became effective after it was endorsed by the Act No. 3904 enacted on April 29, 1993 by the Turkish Grand National Assembly, and it was published in the 21571st issue of the Official Gazette, dated May 4, 1993.
In accordance with the Charter, the rector of the university is appointed by the Higher Educational Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the first vice rector is appointed by the Higher Educational Council of the Republic of Turkey.
Ahmet Yesevi University has 11 faculties and 1 school of higher education, and it has almost 20.000 students, 2.600 of whom are from Turkey, and 700 of whom are from Turkic countries and communities other than Kazakhstan. There are also more than 1800 academics in our university.
The central campus of the university is founded on an area of 300 hectare in the city of Turkistan in South Kazakhstan. Apart from the main campus, there are also educational institutes in the cities of Turkistan and Kentav.
The university's namesake, Ahmet Yesevi (1093-1166), is the founder of the Turkish folk Sufi tradition, which ruled the spiritual life of the Turks for centuries; Drop by drop, he transferred the trust he received from Arslan Baba to people through his "Wisdom". He is remembered in the town of Turkistan by the mausoleum erected on his grave by Timur.
