Entry requirements
Undergraduate (Bachelors) degrees
If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) then you can begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree.
If you have already completed the first year of an undergraduate degree at a Kazakh university, you may be considered for entry to the first year of a Bachelors degree if you have studied relevant subjects.
For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.
Postgraduate (Masters) degrees
If you hold a Bakalavr or a Magistr degree or a Specialist Diploma you will be considered for entry to a Masters degree. Grade requirements vary according to the degree you are applying for but generally we would ask for a minimum of 4 on a 5 point scale, or a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0, or 3.5 out of 4.33.
For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.
PhDs and other research degrees
To apply for a PhD (or other postgraduate research qualification) you must have a Bakalavr or a Magistr degree, or a Specialist Diploma with a minimum of 4 on a 5 point scale, or a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0, or 3.5 out of 4.33 (depending on the subject that you wish to study) which is equivalent to a UK Upper Second Class Honours degree (also known as a 2:1) from a recognised Kazakh university.
You must also be able to demonstrate practical knowledge of appropriate research methodologies. Research degrees are demanding and intensive: to succeed at this level you must be highly motivated, be able to work independently, and have an appropriate familiarity with the discipline and its associated research techniques/methodologies.
Where a Masters degree is required, this is indicated in the relevant description on our Postgraduate Research webpages, together with further information about requirement.
