University history

In July 1999, a branch of the Казахская государственная академия управления was established in the city of Astana. As a result of rebranding, it was renamed the branch of КазЭУ им. Т. Рыскулова. Pursuant to Order № 679 of the Committee for Supervision and Attestation in the Sphere of Education and Science of the МОН РК dated 14 September 2006, the «Казахский университет экономики, финансов и международной торговли» (hereinafter — КазУЭФМТ) was relocated to the capital and merged with the branch of КазЭУ им. Т. Рыскулова. Subsequently, the university acquired the status of an independent educational institution and was renamed the educational institution «Казахский университет экономики, финансов и международной торговли».

Since May 2021, the founder of the university has been ТОО «АС-Education», and the university was renamed the institution «Esil University», which brought about a rebranding process that included a set of measures to change the name, logo, slogan and visual identity, contributing to the adjustment of the new image in accordance with the developing strategy and to the effective involvement of business representatives in the academic activity of the university.
