{spoiler=For State Grant Applicants}

Admission is conducted on a competitive basis based on the results of the entrance exam in the doctoral program subject area. A minimum score of 75 out of 100 is required.
In case of equal scores, priority is given to the applicant with the highest score in the specialized subject area. Scientific achievements related to the program are also considered, such as:
● Scientific publications (including those in Q1 or Q2 journals indexed in Web of Science / Journal Citation Reports)

● Patents and certificates of scientific development

● Grants, scholarships, diplomas, and awards for research and conference participation

Mandatory requirements for admission:
● Master’s degree

● Passing the PhD entrance exam

● International English proficiency certificate

● KAZTEST certificate (any level, issued by NCT)

● Minimum 9 months of professional work experience

● Certificate of completion of the pedagogical cycle (for holders of a professionally oriented master’s degree)

GRE holders are exempt from writing the essay portion and take only the subject-specific exam block. GRE scores must be submitted during the application and are converted according to VED (internal evaluation system).
Applicants with TOEFL ITP must take an additional English language test prior to the entrance exam. This consists of 100 questions with a maximum score of 100. A minimum of 75 is required to pass.
The additional test is administered by the National Testing Center (NTC) and evaluated as “pass” or “fail.”
