About Karaganda Medical University (KMU)

Established in 1950, Karaganda Medical University (formerly Karaganda State Medical University) is one of Kazakhstan’s most prestigious and oldest government medical institutions. Located in the city of Karaganda (the educational heart of the country), it was the first medical university in Kazakhstan to be awarded the status of a research university. It is highly regarded for its rigorous academic standards and its commitment to the “World Federation for Medical Education” (WFME) standards.
