ACADEMIC LEARNING STUDIO (ALS)
The Academic Learning Studio was established by the College of Humanities and Education in order to help KIMEP students to achieve better results in courses and programs offered at KIMEP University. The Studio is a place where students can find many materials to help them with their language learning and other studies as well as have some practice in communication with English, Kazakh and German language tutors and native speakers. It is open to all students, from those enrolled in Foundation English to Master’s and Doctoral level courses. It works closely with other programs to assist in assignments across the KIMEP curriculum. Support services are offered in English, Kazakh, Russian, German and Chinese languages. Details are available from the Academic Learning Studio (Room 230, Dostyk Building).
