Recognition by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan
In June 2014, the Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan followed the recommendation of the Republican Accreditation Council and decided to include FIBAA to the National Register of Accreditation Agencies. This registration was successfully renewed for the first time in March 2017 and for the second time in October 2022 for a further five years. This means that FIBAA's decisions on accreditation of Kazakh higher education institutions and study programmes are thus officially recognized by the Ministry.
Accreditation Procedures
Since 2014, FIBAA has conducted more than 100 programme accreditations in Kazakhstan, partnering with leading higher education institutions including the KIMEP University, Maqsut Narikbayev University, NARXOZ University and many others.
Information on accreditation decisions for higher education institutions and/or study programmes, including accreditation reports, is available here.
Furthermore, five Kazakh universities have been awarded FIBAA Institutional Accreditation, reflecting the growing recognition of FIBAA's quality assurance framework and its contribution to the internationalisation of higher education in Kazakhstan.

Policy Brief
At the request of the Committee for Quality Assurance in Science and Higher Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, FIBAA has developed in October 2024 a comprehensive policy brief. The document addresses questions posed by the Committee and provides an overview of Germany's quality assurance system, outlines the requirements for panel members, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of study programs accredited by FIBAA in Kazakhstan.
With the Committee's permission, we are pleased to publish the policy brief on our website to support the continued development and enhancement of quality assurance in Kazakhstan.
