Foreign scientists

One of the main indicators of the internationalization of educational and scientific processes at Kostanay Regional University named after A. Baitursynov is the engagement of foreign professors from leading overseas universities.

In the course of experience exchange, professors deliver lectures, assist in the development of joint educational programs, conduct scientific research, serve as foreign scientific advisors for our PhD candidates, and participate in scientific events.

The work on attracting foreign scholars to the university is carried out continuously in cooperation with foreign partner universities, in accordance with preliminary agreements and the university's needs.

Key Criteria and Preconditions for Inviting Foreign Scholars:

  • The scholar's authority in the international academic community, evidenced by work experience, international activity, publications in scientific journals, and recommendations from experts in the relevant field.
  • The alignment of the foreign specialist's stay with the strategic goals and objectives, as well as the priority areas of development of Kostanay Regional University named after A. Baitursynov and the inviting structural unit.

Inviting foreign scholars aims to internationalize the university's education, stimulate the active implementation of the Bologna Process principles, enhance the university's competitiveness, and create an attractive image of the university in society.
