How Students Rated This University
- Admission Process 4.4
KBTU really has the right to be called British
Most of all I like that our university has international connections, British ABET accreditation. The study is interesting, the teachers are mostly young, ambitious and understand any student. I also like the fact that the university is fully consistent with the British, all lectures are conducted in English, students choose their own teacher and and the materials that are used are mainly taken from English-language sources But of course, as an ambitious student, I want more and more practices, I want to work directly in factories, industry. That is, I want to put the theoretical knowledge I have gained into practice.
Fruitful experience
The course I opted for while studying at KBTU was incredibly fruitful for me. The professors have been wonderful in guiding the students and favoring a practical way of teaching, which helped me understand different aspects of my coursework. In the BA program in engineering, with a concentration in automation and control, I gained a breadth of knowledge and the skills needed for industrial engineering.
imho
One of the best universities in Kazakhstan, which teaches in English and provides an opportunity to gain a lot of experience and knowledge.
