Among the many accomplishments of KazNMU is the remarkable system of student participation in the management of academic activities, involving both Kazakh and foreign students. All governing bodies of the University are supported and assisted by respective student governing bodies. The student government of the faculties is an element of the overall management system of the educational process at KazNMU and involves maximum consideration of student interests and needs based on regular surveys of their opinion. Student governments unite and coordinate the efforts of the entire student community, to assist the University administration in order to improve the social conditions of students, to encourage and improve scientific activities, to intensify the processes of managing student involvement in the public activities of the university. Students participate in all processes of quality assurance.
