DAAD Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary

This year, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
The Kazakh-German University (DKU) warmly congratulates DAAD on this remarkable occasion and expresses sincere gratitude for many years of partnership, trust, and support.

Since 2007, DKU has successfully cooperated with DAAD and the German Federal Foreign Office, implementing joint educational and scientific projects. Thanks to financial support, hundreds of students and many lecturers have had the opportunity to study, undertake internships, and develop both in Kazakhstan and in Germany.

This cooperation fosters knowledge exchange, strengthens cultural ties, and promotes mutual understanding between our countries. DKU students discover Europe, improve their German language skills, and become part of the international academic community.

We present to your attention congratulatory messages and best wishes from DKU students and staff!
