The International University of Kyrgyzstan was founded on March 11, 1993, by the command of the honorable President of the Kyrgyz Republic No. UP-74. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic came together to bring the International University of Kyrgyzstan into existence. The State University of San Francisco (USA) was also involved in the establishment of IUK.
A few years later, the status of an independent self-governing university was given to the International University of Kyrgyzstan(IUK). The university was changed to the “International University of Kyrgyzstan” academic consortium for Training, Research, and Practice on February 12, 2003. From 2017, IUK transformed into a corporate group and that means that IUK includes several educational, research, and practice institutions of different levels.
IUK is based upon the Euro-American structure of universities and it involves dynamic activities in education and science. The International University of Kyrgyzstan has four basic campuses located at different locations: the central campus, eastern campus, western campus, and Issyk-Kul campus.
