On April 28, the department "Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan" turned 10 years old. It was created one of the first in the republic and became a part of the NGO "Association of Departments of the APK "Shanyrak".

The main purpose of the department is to promote the preservation of social harmony and the process of forming a civil identity, a competitive nation based on Kazakh patriotism, civil and spiritual and cultural community of the people of Kazakhstan, with the consolidating role of the Kazakh people, through the use of the university's potential, in close cooperation with external organizations.

The department is an independent structure of the university and is directly subordinate to the rector. In its work, the APK department relies on all structural divisions of the university and faculties. The department has a scientific and methodological association (SMA), which includes both teachers, undergraduates and students of the university, as well as representatives of external organizations.

The APK Department carries out its activities in three main areas: educational, research and pedagogical, actively interacting with the ethnocultural associations of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan of the North Kazakhstan region and PSC "Kogamdyk kelisim" PSC "Department of Internal Policy of the Akimat of NKR".
