Study in Kyrgyzstan
Studying an English-taught degree in Kyrgyzstan will offer you better-paid job opportunities in the country or abroad. Compared to other international study destinations, Kyrgyzstan offers more affordable Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Depending on where you are coming from, studying in Kyrgyzstan can be closer to your home country, so you will not have to spend a lot on travelling, and it can be easier to visit your family and friends during holidays.
In most cases, universities in Kyrgyzstan offering degrees in English are accredited by the national government and can be fully or partially recognized by universities in other countries. So, because you’ll be studying an international degree, you will have better chances at continuing your studies abroad, in more popular study destinations and prestigious universities from Europe, the U.S., Canada, or Australia.
English-taught studies in Kyrgyzstan are also a great chance to build a professional network that is a great source of opportunities and potential collaboration after graduation.
English-language tests
Improve your English through an English-language prep course. If you’re attending a degree programme in Kyrgyzstan, you will need to prove that your language skills are good enough to participate in the classes and understand the lectures. These courses will also prepare you for any of the English-language tests universities require.
To study in Kyrgyzstan, you’ll need to provide proof of your English language proficiency. Some certificates accepted by universities in Kyrgyzstan may include:
- TOEFL iBT
- IELTS Academic
- C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency
Still, you should always check your university’s website to be sure what the exact language requirements are.
Student visas for Kyrgyzstan
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa. But, well, you see, our army of scientist monkeys didn’t finish the student visa research for Kyrgyzstan yet!
Don’t worry, everything is ok. We’re on it, and we’re doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Kyrgyzstan a little easier and more enjoyable.
Still, you can always beat us to the punch and:
- Check if you really need a student visa. Usually, if you are an EU-national and want to study in another EU country, you won’t need a visa. Some other non-EU countries may also be exempt from an entry visa, at least for an initial duration;
- Start accessing the websites of the embassy and consulate, in order to get a general picture of the whole “visa-application” thing;
- Check the deadlines and figure out how much time you’ll have to wait for your visa. You wouldn’t want miss studying abroad from this silly mistake of bad planning;
- Go on a scavenger hunt and collect all the documents you will need. Remember, you can find the list on the embassy’s website;
- Start saving up money, as some applications might require you to have proof of minimum funds;
- Brush up on your English skills. Even if this is not always a visa requirement, it will help you a lot to succeed during your university studies.
All in all, what else can we say but: good luck and never forget to have fun during your studies!
Thanks and good luck!
