Kazakhstan Ablai Khan University of International Relations and World Languages
Exchange Programme
(Chinese language programme)
Description
Since 2014, UIBE’s School of International Relations carried an extensive two years exchange programme with Kazakhstan Ablai Khan University of International Relations and World Languages. The exchange students are expected to spend two years of their BA studies in Beijing, as part of the exchange programme.
The exchange programme will introduce the students to both the Chinese language and culture as well as to the academic field of International Relations. The IR courses are well balanced between the key concepts needed to understand and take part in an interconnected world (such as political awareness, economic understanding, cultural competency, and global citizenship) and a more in-depth study of the Chinese economy, political system and political thought.
The programme is exclusively addressed at the students of the Ablai Khan University. The participants are expected to spend their 4th to 7th semesters of study in SIR, while the remaining period of study, including the defense of their BA thesis, will be spent in Kazakhstan.
