Preamble
Our vision, shared understanding of tasks and obligations of the Kazakh-German University (DKU) are stated herein. This vision is a basis for potential changes in the University and defines our long-term perspectives aimed to achieve set goals. It is the main criterion to assess our actions both by ourselves and by others.
1. DKU strives to integrate science and economy, openness to the world and orientation to-wards the future.
We do more than it is required by tasks and obligations and it is self-evident to us.
2. DKU's distinctive feature is a strong interconnection of research activities and practice ori-ented education.
3. DKU acknowledges its responsibility to students, future employers and society.
We therefore contribute into development of our students' key competences which are provided by set of relevant subject knowledge, social and intercultural competencies.
We strive to comply with teaching and studying requirements by providing contemporary innovative services to our students.
4. Internationalization and tolerance are the main pillars of our future.
Cooperation with a focus first of all on Germany is the main direction of the DKU’s international ac-tivity which is continuously expending and deepening.
5. Our University is a very relevant and reliable partner of business and the government. Our active support of companies and administrative authorities is focused on ecological, social and sustaina-ble development.

Working with our employees is characterized by transparency and awareness, democratic partici-pation and settlement of conflicts. All the people who work for DKU set high requirements to achieve results and are capable and ready to take part in their implementation.
