Higher Education in Kazakhstan
Young people of Kazakhstan get higher education at institutes, universities and academies. They enter a higher institution after leavings secondary schools. Of course, not all people who want to get higher education can be admitted to an institution. There are from two to ten applicants for each vacancy at various higher schools and only the best in knowledge are able to pass competitive entrance exams.
Those who hadnt chance of being accepted to the institute go to work at various plants and offices. It doesnt mean, however, that such people have no opportunity to get higher education. Almost all higher schools in Russia have evening or extramural departments for the people who want to combine their work with study.
The study in Russia is free of charge or paid. Full-time students (day students) get state scholarship, the amount of which depends on their success in studies. Part-time students get extra-paid leave for the period of their session.
The course of study at higher schools runs four or six years, in other words it consists of 4 or 6 academic years. Each academic year is divided into two terms. At the end of each term the students have exams and credit tests (session).
The schools of higher education have a comprehensive curriculum, which consists of a number of theoretical (pure) and applied sciences. The students study general-educational and specialized subjects.
At the end of study students submit the graduation projects (papers) or hold final exams. The main purpose of the project is to evaluate the standard of the graduates knowledge and abilities. Sometimes projects are used by industrial enterprises. After graduation the graduates get diplomas.
