The story of a university that transforms education into a journey toward becoming a well-rounded individual.
AlmaU presents the documentary film “AlmaU: Bilim. Dana. Amanat” – a story about the university’s journey, its values, and its vision of education as a driving force for human potential and the development of future society.
The film traces AlmaU’s evolution from the first Almaty School of Management to a university that has gained international recognition at the prestigious Times Higher Education Awards Asia 2026. It is a story of how education has evolved over the decades while one thing has remained constant – the commitment to creating knowledge, developing individuals, and preparing people who can shape the future.
At the heart of the film is AlmaU’s philosophy and its understanding of education as something far greater than professional training. The university seeks to develop professionals who can think critically, take responsibility, engage with society, and make decisions guided not only by knowledge but also by ethical principles.
2026 has been a year of international recognition for AlmaU: the university strengthened its positions in global rankings and was placed among the world’s leading universities in the THE Impact Rankings 2026. AlmaU’s Tolyq Adam educational model also won the Teaching and Learning Strategy of the Year category at the THE Awards Asia 2026, making AlmaU the first university in Central Asia to receive this prestigious recognition.
The film’s title reflects this philosophy: Bilim – knowledge, Dana – wisdom, and Amanat – responsibility and the legacy we pass on to future generations.
