On March 5, 2025, the Hungarian Ambassador to
Kazakhstan, Mr. Otto Ivan Rona, visited the university. During the visit, he
met with the university administration and students to talk about the
Stipendium Hungaricum program, a scholarship initiative for Kazakhstani
students that provides an opportunity to study at leading universities in
Hungary.
The Stipendium
Hungaricum program is a scholarship initiative that provides students from
different countries, including Kazakhstan, with a chance to study at leading
universities in Hungary. The program's grants cover tuition, living expenses,
and also include medical insurance. The program covers bachelor's, master's and
PhD programs, which opens up broad prospects for students who want to receive a
high-quality education in Europe.
The Ambassador stressed the importance of educational
ties between Hungary and Kazakhstan, noting that participation in the
Stipendium Hungaricum helps strengthen bilateral relations. Mr. Rona also spoke
about Hungary's foreign policy, focusing on the development of cooperation with
Kazakhstan in various fields, including education, economy and culture.
The students showed great interest in the program,
asking questions about the application process, the conditions of study and
life in Hungary. In response, the Ambassador provided detailed explanations,
providing useful information for those who wish to participate in the program.
Astana International University thanks Mr. Otto Ivan
Ron for his visit and looks forward to further developing cooperation with
Hungary in the field of education. For more information, students can
