• Woosong University Kazakh Campus is currently specialized in the field of practice-oriented artificial intelligence (AI) and data science (Data Science)
• In 2026, a total of 200 students will be admitted.
• During the first and second years, all students complete a common curriculum designed to build foundational knowledge and programming skills.
  Upon advancement to the third year, students choose one major: Artificial Intelligence or Data Science.

Minor Program: Students are also required to select a minor linked to various industry sectors, which helps them better prepare for real-world jobs.

• Detailed information about the curriculum can be found on the Woosong University Kazakhstan Campus website: http://wsuk.edu.kz/sub02/02b.php

The admission process consists of the following three main stages

• Applicants must meet a basic English proficiency requirement.
• Applicants must submit high school academic records and National Unified Test (UNT) scores, which account for approximately 70% of the total evaluation.
• Applicants must participate in an individual interview conducted in English, which accounts for the remaining 30%.

Special Admission Track: Applicants with an IELTS score of 6.0 or higher may be admitted based solely on the English interview without UNT scores, although submission of basic required documents is still mandatory.

Even without a UNT score, admission is possible if your English proficiency is sufficiently high. However, please note that submission of a UNT score report is mandatory when applying for national (government) scholarships.

The most important reason is that all courses are taught in English, making English proficiency essential for academic success.
In addition, after graduation, English serves as a key tool for collaborating with professionals from around the world in the fields of AI and Data Science.

Yes, there are alternatives. In addition to IELTS, applicants may submit scores from other recognized English proficiency tests.

• Recognized tests include: TOEFL, Duolingo, TEPS, TOEIC, and others.
  The full list is available at: http://wsuk.edu.kz/sub06/01.php
• Another option: If an applicant has an excellent UNT score (top 15%), they may be admitted based only on the English interview, even without an English test score.

Yes. All first-year students are required to complete a 225-hour intensive English program called A-IEP (Active Intensive English Program) during their first semester.
Since this program is accompanied by a major course, the first semester requires a lot of study time.
More information is available at: http://wsuk.edu.kz/sub02/02c.php

The academic calendar follows a U.S.-style system, with each semester consisting of 15 weeks. In some cases, additional 3-week courses may be offered during summer or winter breaks.
Semesters typically begin on September 1 and March 1.

Yes, absolutely. Each year, more than 100 international students enroll in the AI and Data Science programs at Woosong University’s Korea campus, and over 50% of them find employment in Korea after graduation.

Starting from the second year, Korean language courses are planned to be offered as extracurricular elective programs.
This will be an especially valuable opportunity for students planning to continue their third year of study in Korea.

The Turkistan Regional Government has allocated a budget to support 100% full scholarships for students.
In addition, the Kazakh government provides separate scholarships amounting to 1.1 million tenge per year (about 35-40% of tuition) for students who pay their own tuition.
Furthermore, additional measures are currently under review to provide greater opportunities for students from various regions, and discussions on this matter are ongoing.

At WSUK, scholarships for newly admitted students are primarily provided through government and local government–funded scholarship programs.
After enrollment, students may also be eligible for various additional scholarships and financial support opportunities based on their academic performance and achievements.
For more detailed information, please visit the “Scholarships(http://wsuk.edu.kz/sub06/03.php)” section on the WSUK website.

Applicants must prepare the following five documents:

• Identification document (passport or national ID card)

There are no restrictions on the choice of UNT subjects in the WSUK admission process.
Although WSUK offers two majors—Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science—Woosong University Kazakhstan places greater emphasis on diverse academic experiences and overall learning capacity, rather than limiting applicants by specific UNT subjects.
However, having a strong background in mathematics can be helpful and beneficial for your studies after admission.

Skills in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are required across all industries.
During their studies, students participate in four industry-linked projects in collaboration with sectors such as manufacturing, banking, distribution, and automotive industries.
This demonstrates the high versatility and demand of these majors and allows graduates to freely choose their preferred industry after graduation.

If your current major is different, you must start from the first year.
If your major is similar, some courses may be recognized through curriculum comparison; however, the maximum credit recognition period is limited to six months.

Yes, student housing is available at MSK Turkestan dormitory, with a capacity of 600 students.

Master's and PhD programs are not available for the school year 2025 ~ 2026. Will be notified once a related course is available.

No, it is not mandatory to go to Korea after two years.
If a student chooses to complete all four years of study in Kazakhstan, there is no requirement to travel to Korea. In this case, the student will receive only a Kazakhstan degree, not a dual degree.
However, even in this option, students may choose to participate in a study program in Korea for one semester or up to one year, if they wish.

If the study period in Korea is one semester or less, WSUK will use the government scholarship to pay the tuition on the student’s behalf. However, tuition in Korea must be paid in full in a single payment, and due to differences in tuition fees, students may be required to cover part of the cost themselves.
However, if a student studies in Korea continuously for one year or longer, the tuition is generally the student’s personal responsibility, although this policy may change depending on government regulations.
