Overseas training within the framework of academic mobility funded by the republican budget is conducted on a competitive basis. A Republican Commission is formed to select candidates, involving members of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, independent experts from non-governmental organizations, and well-known public figures, consisting of at least 15 people. The composition of the Commission is approved by the order of the authorized body in the field of education.

The main task of the Commission is to determine the number of places for each university and to conduct the selection of students. The authorized body in the field of education announces the competition for overseas training at the beginning of the academic year. Applicants submit their documents through the electronic Government portal within 30 (thirty) working days from the date of the competition announcement.

When selecting candidates for training within the framework of academic mobility, in the case of equal points, preference is given to:

1. Orphans or students without parental care;
2. Individuals with disabilities from childhood or other disabled individuals;
3. Students from large families.

If the points are equal among the aforementioned categories, all candidates are allowed for overseas training within the framework of academic mobility.

The Commission reviews the submitted documents of the applicants and, through an open vote, forms the main and reserve lists of students for each university separately.

If a candidate from the main list refuses to go for training, their replacement is carried out according to the order of the reserve list. The statement of refusal is written in any form.

The order for overseas training within the framework of academic mobility is posted on the website of the authorized body and sent to universities within 3 (three) working days after the approval of the order by the authorized body.

The timing for sending candidates who have passed the competition for training within the framework of academic mobility is determined separately in each case in accordance with the beginning of the academic period in the country of training.

Upon completion of the stay at the partner university, the student submits a transcript for credit transfer to the Department of Academic Policy and Quality (DAPQ) of ALT, as well as signed ECTS agreements and statements to the Department of Corporate Cooperation (DCC).

A candidate, after identifying differences in the curricula of the host university and ALT, submits an application to the President-Rector of ALT requesting permission to study at the chosen university. In case of a positive decision, the DCC issues an order for enrollment in overseas education within the framework of academic mobility.

Academic Mobility Funded by International Programs (ERASMUS+, DAAD, FULBRIGHT, etc.)

International programs usually fully cover all expenses of the academic mobility participant: tuition, travel to and from the place of study, and accommodation in the host country. The details of the funding conditions and the study period in each specific case are determined by a four-party agreement.

In the event that the academic mobility participant is studying at ALT on a paid basis, the payment conditions provided for by the paid educational services contract remain in effect for the period of study at the partner university.

The DCC concludes a four-party Memorandum between the university, the organizers of international programs, the student, and the partner university.

The student is sent after the actual receipt of funds into the ALT’s account from the international program organizer.

Information about international programs is communicated to students through social networks and posted on the university’s website.

International programs generally require an adequate level of English proficiency and/or the language of the host country with a supporting document confirming the passing of an official language test, a GPA of at least 3, and a recommendation letter from the head of the department, endorsed by the dean of the faculty.

Most international programs require online registration, after which they request the original documents. Expenses related to the preparation and sending of documents are covered by the participant’s funds.

Upon completion of their stay at the partner university, students submit to the DAPQ transcript, an academic certificate, and an advance report to the university’s accounting department.
