Exchange programmes

We are pleased to offer you a wide range of academic mobility programmes for the main study programs at partner universities in different countries of the world. AlmaU academic mobility programmes are open to bachelor and master students to provide an opportunity to study abroad.

Academic mobility allows students to study in exchange for a semester or an academic year, by recognising the taken courses as part of the main study program of AlmaU. Academic mobility is an opportunity to continue studying in the chosen specialty, to strengthen the knowledge of foreign languages, to get acquainted with the peculiarities of the development and culture of foreign countries, and to expand the circle of international friends.

General INformation

Kazakhstan joined the European Higher Education area in 2010. The implications are profound - the state and the universities will have to fundamentally change the way they conduct their business as the country adopts the three cycles of the Bologna Framework and the European Credit Transfer System - ECTS. A key objective of the Bologna process is that students can move between different universities and different countries, with their previous learning explicitly recognized in terms of learning level and the number of ЕСТ credits gained by previous study. Similarly, graduates can expect to see their qualifications recognised automatically across the European Higher Education Area and beyond, provided they were awarded by an accredited or recognized institution. The Ministry of Education and Science (MES) has begun the process of implementing the Bologna agenda but there's a long way to go before the new required approaches become a reality.(Martin O`Hara)

Almaty Management University’s students have the opportunity to take part in Academic Exchange Programs and Double Degree Programs offered by the University and study for one or two semesters at the International Partner University.

Decision on the selection of candidates is made by the Academic Board.

Selection criteria for those who want to study abroad as an Exchange Student:

  • Applicants must be 2nd or 3rd year students
  • Applicants must not have any missed assignments and financial debts at the time of application
  • Applicants’ GPA should not be lower than 3,0 over a period of study
  • Applicants should actively take part in the social life of the university

List of required documents for participation in the selection process:

  • Academic transcript
  • Application form (click here) (анкета и заявление)
  • Letter of Recommendation
  • Letter of Motivation
  • Certificate confirming a knowledge of the relevant Foreign Language (if available)
  • Letters of recognition, certificates of participation, etc. (confirming achievements in academic competitions, participation in scientific conferences, etc., if available) over a period of study at the university.
