Astana Medical University stands out among the universities that are particularly popular among international applicants.

What makes the university attractive to international applicants?
The university began accepting international students in 2016, and today about 800 students from near and far abroad study here. The university offers unique conditions for their professional and personal development:

Participation in social life
Foreign students are actively involved in the life of the university. They take part in social events, sports competitions and scientific projects. This not only helps them integrate into the student environment, but also reveals their potential in a variety of areas.
Art therapy and master classes
Trainings and events aimed at facilitating adaptation to the new environment are organized for students. For example, the psychological training “Do you know yourself?” has become an important part of assistance in adaptation. In addition, various trainings and master classes in art therapy are held to maintain psychological comfort and reveal the creative potential of students.
