University of Staffordshire
Kazakh-British Technical University, Staffordshire University, and Nomad Agency began their collaboration in 2024, agreeing to implement Top-Up programs. The Top-Up program allows students to complete their studies abroad and earn the same degree as if they had studied overseas for the full 3–4 years. These programs are ideal for students starting their education locally and looking to gain international experience and qualifications in a shorter timeframe, often completing their final year at a partner institution abroad.
Staffordshire University is a public research institution in England with campuses in Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Lichfield, Shrewsbury, and London. Established in 1914, the university specializes in digital technologies, including computing, gaming, and esports, with a strong emphasis on industry-focused, hands-on education. Known for its significant contributions to science, Staffordshire University consistently ranks highly in social inclusion metrics and continues to invest in modern facilities and innovations.
