Foreign applicants are admitted to universities in Kazakhstan through an interview.

If there are any misunderstandings, there are special commissions to resolve and resolve certain issues.
Documents upon receipt
Each applicant requires the necessary package of papers for admission to universities in Kazakhstan. The list below:
- application for admission to the course of study;
- available certificates, diplomas of your current education;
- documents that you are healthy and can be trained;
- certificate KTA, UNT;
- photos to fill in the personal file of an already enrolled student.
The list is relatively small and meets the usual requirements.
What is KTA
Before you are admitted to universities in Kazakhstan, you must go through the procedure of comprehensive testing of an applicant. This testing is mandatory, it is approved at the level of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Note that this form of testing is intended for those people who graduated from school this year or several years ago.
For this procedure, you provide an application, passport, certificate or diplomas of your education, medical certificate, photo, receipt of payment of the fee.
At the right time, all this is handed over to the commission.
Then you pass the test in Russian or Kazakh language of your choice. You hand over the required subjects: Russian (Kazakh) language, the history of Kazakhstan, mathematics, and a subject of your choice.
The test takes two and a half hours, answer sheets are collected, checked, and later the results are published within the walls of the school. If the results were not acceptable to you, you can file an appeal.
Higher Education Benefits
As in many other countries, a graduate will have priority in hiring. You are more likely to be hired by an enterprise than a person without a higher education. And wages in this case will be slightly higher. For advanced training you are among the first to be nominated for training.
But after graduation, you yourself will have to find a job: universities and the state leave the choice for you. Sometimes graduates fail to get a job right after graduation.
Two forms of training
Knowledge in the universities of Kazakhstan is obtained in the traditional forms: full-time and part-time.
Preference, of course, is given to full-time study. Deep, expanded knowledge can be obtained with constant and systematic classes at the faculties under the supervision of teachers and teachers. Moreover, the entire educational process is structured, dosed for students, which, of course, facilitates the learning process and sets the student to receive a greater amount of knowledge.
Correspondence form has several advantages: free time for training, the use of additional experience. But there are also negative aspects: not everyone can force themselves to be engaged in a systematic and daily way. Moreover, medical universities of Kazakhstan do not practice this form of training. This is understandable, the most valuable thing in a person is his health, and how to entrust such a jewel to a specialist who has not mastered the program completely, but only superficially?
Learning Innovations
Now there is an opportunity to receive education in a new way - remotely. For this you need to have at hand a computer, laptop, Internet connection. Modern technologies make it possible to transfer knowledge and monitor student learning outcomes in necessary subjects. For a student, this form is good in that there is no time reference, the student is much easier to find the necessary teaching materials on the Internet, is able to retake any material without running after the teacher. And teachers can give lectures both online (live) and in a more convenient way offline (on record).
True, state-style exams, theses and their defense are conducted at the university.
