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: Yes — state grants (300 places in the first intake, 2023); 3 years of required work after graduation.
