Narxoz Business School Enters Elite Global Tier with Dual Accreditation

The accreditation follows a rigorous assessment by international academic leaders who scrutinized the school’s academic heritage, institutional strategy, and recent campus modernization. Andrew Main Wilson, CEO of AMBA and BGA, cited the university's contribution to Kazakhstan’s development and its dedication to fostering a world-class educational environment as key factors in the decision.

For Narxoz University, the recognition marks the culmination of a multi-year transformation strategy.
