The Best Medical Universities In Kazakhstan (Approved By PMC).
Kazakhstan, officially the Republic of Kazakhstan, is a country in Central Asia that used to be part of the Soviet Union.
It is one of the most developed countries in Asia where you can enjoy a better standard of living and a peaceful environment.
The country is developed in all aspects such as lifestyle, roads, housing, transportation, GDP, and other economic aspects.
In recent years, thousands of Pakistani students have gone to PMC-accredited universities every year for postgraduate studies.
There are certain factors that attract the attention of foreign students. Therefore, we will try to present these important points of the culture of Medical Colleges in Kazakhstan.

Advantages of studying MBBS in Kazakhstan for Pakistani students.
1 Weather conditions are most favorable for Pakistani students
Weather is an important issue for international students as average temperatures reach 30 degrees Celsius in summer and drop to 20 degrees in winter. The climate is still good compared to other countries and Pakistani students cope well with this environment.
2 Minimum course duration
MBBS studies in Kazakhstan take 5 years, which is probably the best time to study in this country. Most international universities around the world offer six-year medical degree programs. So, if you want to study MBBS in Kazakhstan, you can study for a whole year.
3 Courses in English
Another consolation for students from Pakistan is that learning another language or Kazakh as a mother tongue is not an obstacle as the entire medical program is conducted in English, the official language.
4 Qualified professors teaching their students at the institution.
The professors appointed to Kazakh universities are highly qualified and have many years of teaching experience in their field. They continue to work with students after the course to resolve their concerns and problems. These faculty members bring a hands-on perspective to the entire medical education program.
5 Excellent academic class management.
MBBS capacity in Kazakhstan is much higher than that of Pakistani universities. While in Pakistan the average class size is 40-60 students, in Kazakh universities there are no more than 20 students in a class.
6 High infrastructure and quality of administration
Kazakh medical schools have well-equipped laboratories where students have access to all books and can use them for self-study. Students can use them for one year at no additional cost. Many colleges have a cumulative score of less than 1000 and are accredited by PMC, which makes life easier for Pakistani graduates.
7 Security measures and strict rules and practices of the country/university.
The country is safe for foreign students and they are not threatened by the government or any transnational organization. Students speak positively about the strict rules and practices at their universities. The administrations of all universities are working hard to improve the situation for foreign students.
8 Availability of hostels with Pakistani food
Fresh and quality Pakistani food is available to Pakistani students at all times of the year. Dormitories and accommodations are available to students on and off campus. Expenses for these services are under budget. Students may also choose self-catered housing or catered services, at their discretion.
9 Limited cost of education in Kazakhstan.
When choosing a medical school, international students often look for the key features of a university with good infrastructure, better teaching, and reasonable tuition fees. Most universities charge tuition fees of less than 20 rupees. If you want to combine room and board, the tuition fee is about 25 rupees.
