The one that applies to youStep 3

Your entrance qualification — the one that applies to you

Depends on where and how you finished school. You don't need all of these — only the one for your situation.

  1. Citizens of Kazakhstan — UNT certificate

    Mandatory for all citizens of Kazakhstan. January, March and June sittings are accepted. The University applies the Ministry's minimum threshold for the year (program thresholds may be higher). This pathway makes you eligible for a state educational grant.

    Citizens of Kazakhstan

  2. IB Diploma, A-level or NIS Grade 12 certificate

    Apply directly with your certificate. Final (not predicted) scores only; the certificate must not have expired more than two years before the academic year starts.

  3. Olympiad winners

    1st–3rd place in an international or republican Olympiad listed in the Ministry register. Bring the diploma and pass an interview with the academic School. If your program matches the Olympiad subject, you may be admitted without competitive ranking.

  4. International applicants — equivalent qualification

    Non-citizens of Kazakhstan submit an equivalent national secondary-education qualification, assessed individually by the Admissions Committee (SAT, ACT and IB results are benchmarked against the UNT equivalency tables).
