How to recognize a foreign diploma

If you obtained your education abroad and plan to continue your studies or seek employment in Kazakhstan, you may be required to undergo the procedure for recognition of your educational qualification document in cases specified by law.

Recognition confirms that a foreign educational qualification document may be used in the Republic of Kazakhstan for further education and/or employment.

The recognition procedure depends on the level of education, the country where the document was issued, the existence of international agreements, and other conditions established by law.

Certain categories of documents and their holders are exempt from the recognition procedure.

Public services for the recognition of educational qualification documents are provided by the Republican State Enterprise with the Right of Economic Management "National Center for Higher Education Development" under the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
