Recognizing its central role in international education and research, ENU offers favourable conditions for international students through the “Welcome to ENU” program for incoming exchange students with free tuition and accommodation fee waiver.

The university is always open to cooperation, new initiatives, projects, and offers that are beneficial for all parties. Today, it cooperates with more than 400 universities and research institutes from almost all over the world, including partner universities from Hungary.
The university actively cooperates with its Hungarian colleagues in the field of science and education. To date, international cooperation between ENU and Hungarian universities is carried out in the areas of academic mobility, visiting professors, and research internships for doctoral students, as well as on the basis of agreements and agreements with the University of Obuda, University of Szeged, Central European University, the University of St. Istvan, University of Debrecen, Institute of Social Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Eszterhazy Karoly University of Applied Sciences.

In 2021, ENU hosted the grand opening of the Hungarian Language Center with the support of the Hungarian Embassy in Kazakhstan, where Hungarian language courses are taught.
All these advantages make ENU the place that offers a unique and valuable learning experience and prepare its graduates for success in their future academic and professional endeavours. And here are some of the examples from the international student’s experience:
“I met many excellent teachers who gave me a lot of inspiration and encouragement,” Zhenis Aliya, a Philology Faculty-student from China, said. “Also, I really enjoy the time I spend with my classmates. I think that Kazakhstani students are very active and creative, and they have many positive qualities that have influenced me a lot.”
Nicu Florin-Madalin, a first-year International Relations student from Romania, echoed Aliya’s sentiments about the quality of education at ENU “The balanced approach to different subjects requires theoretical research and practical activities for learning, understanding, and preserving the academic efforts of the students through the cooperative and aligned syllabuses of the lectures and seminars of the same subjects”.
