One of the key areas of foreign inter-university cooperation is the development and implementation of joint educational programs that are aimed at providing students with the opportunity to study at foreign universities and receive two diplomas - from the Turan-Astana University and a diploma from a foreign partner university.

A double-degree program is a program in which a student travels to a partner university for the purpose of studying and subsequently obtaining a diploma from a partner university and a diploma from Turan-Astana University.

The advantages of such training are international experience; the possibility of obtaining two diplomas, Kazakh and foreign for 4-5 years; employment prospects after graduation, mastering progressive knowledge from leading teachers.

The duration of study at both universities is four academic years - 8 semesters in total, for a total of 240 ECTS credits. Language of instruction for the undergraduate program: Russian and/or English.
