The university was created by Temerhan Baibosynovich Berdimuratov, one of the experienced teachers in the region, a successful leader in education, with an extraordinary talent as a teacher, thinker, scientist, innovator, enlightener and deep creator of modernity. The permanent leader of the university marked the beginning of modern university education, focused on personal development.

The university grew in the context of the socio-political and economic development of its country. At first it was formed as the Aktyubinsk branch of the International Institute of Business and Law (1994-1996), then - the Aktyubinsk branch of the International University in Moscow (1996-1998), the Aktyubinsk Institute of Management, Business and Law “NUR” (1998-2000), providing an opportunity for young people of the Aktobe region to receive economic and legal education.

The Institute (then Aktobe Institute of Management, Business and Law “NUR”) for the first time in the region received a new name, including the international component - Kazakh-Russian International University - at the suggestion of the President of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev, expressed during the opening ceremony of the main academic building on August 21, 1998.
