Admissions Committee: how to quickly adapt to the university, with the help of the Admissions team

Enrollment to Maqsut Narikbayev University opens new horizons by providing higher education and helping with career opportunities. Initial steps of admission to the University are passing the UNT, MNU entrance exams and submitting all of the necessary documents. Documents are submitted to the Admissions committee, an important structural unit of the University that helps applicants with admission issues.

The Admissions team provides up-to-date information on admission rules, deadlines for submitting documents and necessary entrance exams for a particular major. Maqsut Narikbayev University accepts applicants with general secondary, post-secondary, technical, vocational and higher education.

You can be admitted to MNU:

• on a basis of a state educational grant, at the expense of the Republican budget;
• on a paid basis, at the expense of self-funding or other sources;
• on a basis of MNU internal grants

Each year, the university holds an internal grants competition – the Republican MNU Maqsut Narikbayev Scholarship Olympiad. This is a great opportunity to use the internal resources of the university and obtain free education.

School graduates can apply from June 1 to August 25. To be admitted to the university, you need to have an UNT certificate (with a passing score), a high school diploma (grades 11/12) and the following documents:
