KIMEP will open the doors to help you reach whatever
heights you dream of.
KIMEP students from all programs reach the top of
their fields. KIMEP graduates consistently fill the ranks
of top companies like Deloitte and Chevron and go for
further study at universities like Cambridge and the
University of Michigan.
So can you. But you need to take a bold first step…

You can get two specializations with one KIMEP diploma. That’s
because you choose your major (your main specializiation) as well
as a minor (a secondary specialization to support your personal

Law, or Major in Political Science with a Minor in Finance. At My
KIMEP, everything is possible.
