In fact, for the Law School of Kazakh National University, such major academic activities have become the norm. Public information shows that the Law School, established in 1934, has undergone multiple reforms and developments. Currently, the Law School cultivates professionals in the fields of law, customs law, and law enforcement, with one academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 30 doctors and professors, over 80 associate professors, and senior experts from the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Presidential Office, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Academy of Sciences, and law enforcement agencies. Today, the Law School has become the "new favorite" among Chinese international students. Official data shows that in 2025, the number of international students studying in Kazakhstan exceeded 2,000 for the first time, with more than 100 of them enrolled at the Law School of Kazakh National University.

"My primary consideration in choosing this institution was the cost," said Zhang, a law graduate student from Shandong Province. Compared to regions like Europe and America, the expenses for studying in Kazakhstan are affordable for students from working-class families. Additionally, the university's consistent ranking in the QS World University Rankings in the top 200 in recent years has become a major attraction for students from neighboring countries. Kazakh National University has solidified its position as the top-tier institution in Central Asia and stands as one of the five-star higher education institutions in the former CIS countries, second only to Moscow State University.

An official from the law school introduced that under the background of in-depth economic and trade cooperation between China and Kazakhstan, coupled with Kazakhstan's unique geographical location in Eurasia, high-quality talents mastering relevant international legal rules between China and Kazakhstan are bound to have great potential. Under the guidance of this year's China-Kazakhstan Education Ministers' Meeting, the Law School of Kazakh National University is leveraging its unique advantages of "high cost-effectiveness, strong employment adaptability, and high-quality research achievements" to seize the opportunities brought by the era of Sino-Kazakh cultural exchanges. He stated that the law school sincerely welcomes students from all over the world to pursue further studies, offering both "Belt and Road" legal practice and jurisprudential research from a Eurasian comparative perspective, making it an excellent platform for realizing personal value.（Contributor：Umbetbayeva Zhuldyz，Acting Associate Professor , Faculty of Law, Al Farabi Kazakh National University）
