The administration of Astana International University (AIU) and the Embassy of Kazakhstan in China convened an official meeting with delegates from the Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). Subsequent to the deliberations, the parties formalized an agreement to inaugurate a branch of the institution in Kazakhstan.
During the gathering, which convened in the capital of the People's Republic of China, it was underscored that the establishment of a BLCU branch in our country constitutes a logical progression of the enduring partnership between the two nations in the realms of science, education, and culture.
The branch will accommodate the "HSK Center" (a facility dedicated to the study and assessment of the Chinese language) to evaluate the proficiency levels of students engaged in Chinese language studies. Furthermore, pursuant to the agreement, dual-degree programs will be implemented for students hailing from both nations.
BLCU stands as a preeminent educational institution in China, specializing in humanities, with a storied history of having graduated approximately 300,000 foreign students over the course of its six decades of existence.
