The Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia has included Kazakhstan’s Unified National Testing (UNT) certificate among the admission requirements for undergraduate programmes at Malaysian universities.

As higher education in Malaysia is conducted in English, applicants are also required to demonstrate their English language proficiency through IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent internationally recognized certificates. Malaysian universities independently determine their admission requirements and minimum UNT passing scores, as well as establish additional admission conditions, including internal assessment criteria, interviews, portfolios, or preparatory foundation programmes. Applicants are therefore advised to clarify the specific requirements of their chosen university and academic programme in advance, as the final admission decision is made directly by the respective institution.

The recognition of UNT confirms that Kazakhstan’s academic assessment system meets international standards and significantly simplifies the admission process for Kazakhstani students by allowing them to apply to Malaysian universities without the need to complete a Foundation programme.
