  5. Use (or lack of) ECTS To ensure the academic mobility of students and the recognition of educational programmes (all levels and forms of higher and postgraduate education) in the European educational space, it is necessary to transfer Kazakhstan credits to ECTS credits and conversely. Recalculation of ECTS credits into Kazakhstani credits system is carried out on the basis of transferable coefficients.

Transfer of credits ECTS to credits of the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out by dividing the ECTS credits in the conversion factor depending on density 1 ECTS credit for each discipline in the range of 1.5 to 1.8
