Dear friends!

“Tourism” SED is a team of professionals and practitioners who have extensive experience in academic and practical work in the tourism and hospitality market.


The department oversees the training of professionals in the tourism business, hotel business, restaurant business, event industry in two educational programs (EP): “6B111006-Tourism and hospitality” and “6B11107-Restaurant and hotel business”. As well as for educational programs of master’s degree: “Tourism and sustainable development” and “Restaurant and hotel business”.

Training is in three languages: English-Kazakh-Russian.


A dual approach where theory is combined with practice and students have the opportunity to undergo summer practices and internships in large hotels and travel agencies in Almaty, Nur-Sultan, Moscow and resort cities in Turkey, is being actively introduced.

Teach to look, think and act.

To look - identify problems of modern society and ecology; changes in social structure and sustainable development.

To think freely, demonstratively, openly.

To act for the benefit of society by carrying out their professional projects.


The "baggage" of knowledge, skills, competencies and moral principles acquired during the training period will affect your future and they will stay with you for life. That is the reason we pay special attention to anti-corruption education, awareness of everyone responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.


To achieve this, we strive for excellence in teaching and research, by creating a favorable working environment for the experience and knowledge exchange between teachers and students. Educational programs of the Social Sciences SED prepare students for successful careers in the field of ecology, sociology, psychological counseling and social work.


The Department of Social Sciences employs a highly qualified teaching staff whose educational activities are aimed at improving the quality of educational services - ensuring the quality of the result (knowledge, skills, and graduates' skills) and the quality of the processes for achieving results (their compliance with international quality standards).
