M.A. in Political Science and International Relations (MAPSIR)
Launched in Fall 2014, MAPSIR is the first world-class, graduate-level political science and international relations program taught in English in Kazakhstan. A wide array of courses is offered by an internationally recognized faculty drawn from North America and Europe. The program is structured similar to top-rated Master’s programs in the universities in North America. However, unlike most top-rated MA programs, MAPSIR is fully funded, its students receive monthly scholarships.
