The official university programs page links to the bachelor, master and doctoral admission catalogues and gives the address as Kazakhstan, Almaty, 050040, Al-Farabi Avenue, 71.
Model elements: this source is used for institution identity, location and the official education-programme navigation.
The official admissions catalogue lists bachelor educational programmes by faculty, code, title and status, for example Mathematics, Mathematical and Computer Modelling, Public Health, Nursing, Journalism, Economics, International Relations and other named programmes.
The same catalogue includes isolated labels such as double-degree programmes, for example Military Journalism and Foreign Philology with Lanzhou University. These are treated as separate named admission programmes, not as a university-wide double major mechanism.
Model elements: this supports programChoice 0 for the dominant model. The applicant selects a concrete educational programme, and the found official evidence does not confirm a regular student-facing major, minor, double major or open-programme choice after enrolment.
The Registrar Office page says it organizes student registration for disciplines and teachers, forms individual study plans, creates academic groups and lectures after registration, and supports electronic basic, annual and individual study plans in the Univer information system.
It separately describes electronic course registration through the student's personal account in Univer, transcript services and credit transfer after foreign academic trips, academic leave, repeated study year, reinstatement and transfers.
Model elements: this confirms a real student registration mechanism and individual study plans. It supports courseChoice 2 together with the national credit rules, but does not prove a free university-wide elective catalogue.
The official Mathematics programme page gives the qualification as a first higher education bachelor of natural sciences and shows programme tabs for graduate model, programme passport, compulsory disciplines, elective disciplines and professional practices.
The discipline list includes general university, programme and specialist courses with credit values and assessment formats, and the page states that the data cover 2023 to 2026.
Model elements: this is a concrete programme example of a structured curriculum with compulsory and elective discipline blocks, not evidence of open curriculum.
The official Kazakhstani rules define credit technology as study based on a student's choice and independent planning of the sequence of disciplines or modules with accumulated academic credits.
They define an individual study plan as formed annually by the student with an adviser on the basis of the educational programme and catalogue of elective disciplines or modules, and state that each educational programme has a catalogue of elective disciplines that gives students alternative elective choices for an individual educational trajectory.
The same rules define minor and double-degree education at system level, but the KazNU evidence found here does not confirm a university-wide minor or double-major architecture for ordinary bachelor students.
Model elements: this is the main normative evidence for courseChoice 2. It proves structured student choice inside the educational programme and elective catalogue, not free selection of any university course.
The state standard defines bachelor education as higher education leading to the bachelor degree, defines the component by choice as disciplines offered by the university and independently chosen by students in any academic period subject to prerequisites and postrequisites, and defines the student individual study plan as based on the educational programme and elective catalogue.
It states that a full academic year is at least 60 academic credits and that the main completion criterion for programmes is at least 240 academic credits, while some professional higher education programmes, including architecture and design, require at least 300 academic credits.
Model elements: this sets the duration range at 4 to 5 years for the catalogue context, because KazNU lists ordinary 240-credit bachelor programmes and also a Design bachelor programme in a field where the national standard can require 300 credits.
The university academic mobility page describes study, internships and research work at foreign educational and research institutions under inter-university agreements and international programmes.
It describes the Ministry's one-semester abroad programme and self-funded mobility, where bachelor students in years 2 to 3 may study one or two academic semesters at a foreign partner university, with GPA and document requirements, including passport copy, transcript, language certificate and an individual study plan requested from the department.
Strict cross-registration review: this is not counted as courseChoice 4. The route is ordinary academic mobility for one or two semesters with selection and documents, not routine low-bureaucracy cross-registration for one or two external courses that enter the diploma supplement.
The official KazNU development page says the 2022-2026 development programme uses the share of master's and doctoral students in total learner enrollment as a target indicator, but it does not publish the bachelor or undergraduate enrollment figure itself.
The official admissions catalogue confirms the current bachelor-level programme layer, but does not give enrollment by level. Therefore total and bachelor are left null; the 16,000 undergraduate value found in open encyclopedic summaries is not stored because no verifiable date and primary table were found.
