NU Degree Recognized in China, DKnews.kz reports
Nazarbayev University (NU) has officially received accreditation from the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE), under the Chinese Ministry of Education. Previously, NU was not listed among Kazakhstani institutions recognized by this Center.
The CSCSE evaluates and accredits foreign degrees and certificates to promote international educational exchange and research collaboration.
“If a university is verified by this center, it means that the diploma obtained from this university is recognized in China. As a result, graduates from this accredited university could get a job in China with the diploma, because the Ministry of Education in China officially verified this university” noted Lili Zhang, an instructor at NU’s School of Sciences and Humanities.
With this accreditation, Chinese graduates of NU will have no difficulty securing employment in their home country, as their degrees will now be recognized by Chinese employers. Andrey Filchenko, a department head at the School of Sciences and Humanities, added, “The implications are that now Chinese students will see study at NU as a legitimate undertaking, and most importantly - they can now apply for the Chinese government scholarships for such studies. This can and should be a positive factor in recruiting more international students from China.”
Currently, nine Chinese students have graduated from NU, while 25 more are pursuing their studies at the university.
