📝 State grants (UNT)

How it works

Kazakhstani citizens compete for state grants with their UNT (Unified National Testing) score. The threshold is the Ministry minimum; the cut-off score is the lowest score that won a grant. International students usually study on a fee-paying basis or with university scholarships. Grants: State grants of the Ministry for foreign branches (200 grants for business and Computer Science in 2025; per media reports: IELTS 6+, school certificate ≥4, essay, UNT ≥50) — to be confirmed for 2027; 20% Early Bird discount for the Foundation Year (September 2027 intake); KAZ ENERGY grants.
