The university operates a Student Parliament that unites more than 3,500 active students. In addition, students may participate in the activities of 25 student clubs covering a broad range of areas, including science, culture, volunteering, and leadership. These initiatives contribute to fostering civic responsibility and preparing future professionals capable of making a meaningful contribution to the development of a Fair Kazakhstan.

The university also offers a range of benefits and discounts, thereby ensuring the accessibility of education and extracurricular activities. An important element of the university’s infrastructure is the Center for Health and Well-being, which provides a wide array of services.
