2. Regional and local government
   ㅤ
   Specialists in regional and local administration study the mechanisms of operation of local government bodies — maslikhats and akimats, as well as processes of self-governance at various administrative levels.

   Regional administration is aimed at ensuring the sustainable economic development of the country from a spatial and territorial perspective, with the rational allocation of productive forces and balancing the standard of living across regions.

   The activities of local authorities cover a wide range of areas: the rational use of land resources, comprehensive socio-economic development of territories, improvement of housing and utilities, transport and infrastructure development, support of education, culture, sports and tourism, as well as the protection of public order and the environment.

Where theory comes to life in practice!

Students of the “State and Local Administration” program undertake internships in akimats, maslikhats, ministries, public organizations, and business structures, where they learn to make real decisions and understand how administrative mechanisms work from the inside.

The program is continuously updated to reflect changes in the economy, politics, and society, ensuring that graduates remain in demand and competitive in the labor market.
