Preliminary selection procedure for bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies.

Bachelor's

Preliminary selection consists of 2 stages: testing in general education subjects and testing to determine proficiency in the language of instruction.

Master's and PhD

For master's and doctoral educational programs, a single interview stage is conducted. During this stage, a detailed assessment of foreign applicants' subject knowledge and skills in relevant fields takes place, along with questions to determine their language proficiency level.

Preliminary selection for bachelor's programmes takes place in two stages:

  1. General education subject testing — assessment of knowledge in core disciplines in line with the chosen educational programme.
  2. Language testing — determination of proficiency in the language of instruction (Kazakh, Russian or English).

Based on the test results, a ranked list of applicants is compiled. Enrollment is conducted according to the scores obtained and available places.

For master's and doctoral programmes, a single-stage interview is conducted, covering:

  • detailed assessment of the applicant's subject knowledge and professional competencies;
  • questions to determine proficiency in the language of instruction;
  • for PhD — a presentation or discussion of the proposed research topic.

Based on the interview, the commission decides on admission to the competitive selection process.
