Astana Medical University Admission 2027

Admission at a glance

Astana Medical University (AMU), a public medical university in Astana, Kazakhstan (NCJSC "Astana Medical University"), admits foreign citizens to its fee-paying bachelor's, internship, master's, residency and PhD programmes throughout the calendar year, based on an interview conducted by the university's admission committee for foreign applicants rather than a written entrance exam. International applicants first register for an interview online, then submit a passport copy, a notarised translation of their education document, and (for programmes in the healthcare field taught in English) a certificate proving English proficiency, such as IELTS Academic (5.0+), TOEFL IBT (35+), TOEFL ITP (417+), TOEIC (550+), or Duolingo English Test (80+). Applicants choosing a Kazakh-medium or Russian-medium programme do not need an English certificate. Interviews are held individually online or offline, in Kazakh, Russian or English, and last 15 to 25 minutes, covering language ability, basic subject knowledge, motivation and communication skills. After a successful interview, the university issues an official admission (invitation) letter and, after enrolment, formal enrolment is completed close to the start of the academic period. Tuition is charged per year of study and must be paid in Kazakhstani tenge (KZT) directly to the university's own bank account; the site explicitly warns applicants against paying agents or third parties. Foreign applicants for the 2026 to 2027 academic year could see interviews conducted and enrolment documents accepted from 1 July to 23 to 25 August 2026 for the main intake, and, for master's applicants only, a second intake with interviews from 17 to 28 December 2026 and documents accepted until 6 January 2027. Programmes span General Medicine, Dentistry, Pediatrics, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Nursing at bachelor's level, plus residency, master's and PhD programmes.
