The Kazakh University of Economics, Finance and International Trade also referred simply as KazUEFIT, is a private university in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. The university was established in 1999 in Almaty. In 2006, the university was relocated to Astana (now Nur-Sultan) to be a branch office of the Turar Ryskulov Kazakh Economic University in order to develop a new educational and cultural center in Astana. In 2007 after the changes in legislation regarding the educational sphere the branch office has seized the activity and was transformed into an independent higher educational institution – Kazakh University of Economics, Finance and International Trade.
