Careful attitude in KBSU to the national culture is fixed in the Constitution of Russia

The core of the culture of any nation is the linguistic component. In KBSU, where citizens of 48 states study, the Kabardian language is studied by both Russians and Adygs from Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, European countries, who are trained in various areas of training and specialties.

The state languages ​​of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic throughout its territory are Kabardian, Balkar and Russian. In accordance with this provision of the law, there are three national cultural centers at the Social and Humanitarian Institute of KBSU: Center of Adyghe culture named after A. Tsipinov, Center of Balkar culture named after K.S. Otarov, Scientific and Educational Center of the Russian Language and Culture.
