Today, connections between countries are strengthening, and international relations have reached a new level. In this context, the demand for competitive specialists who are fluent in multiple languages and possess critical thinking skills is steadily growing. The Sorbonne-Kazakhstan Institute and the University of Lorraine branch at Abai University train professionals who meet these modern requirements.

This is a unique intellectual center that integrates Kazakhstan’s educational traditions with advanced European standards, elevating students’ professional qualifications to a global level. Two major academic platforms located within one building open the door to limitless opportunities for students. The academic programs are fully aligned with European quality standards.

The key advantage of the Sorbonne-Kazakhstan Institute is that most lectures are delivered by professors and doctoral scholars from leading universities in France. This allows students to gain international experience and broaden their professional horizons. In addition, through academic mobility programs, students can continue their studies at top universities in France and obtain a double degree.

The Institute offers a variety of programs tailored to applicants’ interests and abilities. For majors such as “International Relations and Diplomacy,” “Management,” “Audit and Taxation,” “Finance, Economics, Banking and Insurance,” as well as “Marketing and Advertising,” a minimum score of 80 on the UNT is required. For “Law,” the requirement is 75 points, and for “Public Audit,” 70 points are sufficient. With these threshold scores, applicants can compete for state-funded grants or enroll on a tuition basis.

The programs at the University of Lorraine branch stand out for their linguistic and international focus. Admission to the “French Language Teacher Training” program requires at least 90 points. Programs such as “International Relations and Human Rights,” “Management,” “Finance and Economics,” “Marketing,” and “Hotel and Restaurant Business” require 80 points, while “International Law” requires 75 points.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, the university faculty provides students with opportunities to meet international experts and participate in global initiatives.
