Abstract
This study aimed to assess the adaptability and anxiety of international students of the first and fourth years to study in [BLINDED] University, Kazakhstan. The study relied on questionnaires for assessing adaptability (SACQ questionnaire) and anxiety (based on the technique developed by Spielberger and Khanin). The results show a correlation between anxiety and adaptability. Most first-year students have anxiety and adaptability at average and below-average levels. Fourth-year students have high adaptability scores and low anxiety scores. The results show that programs for international students at [BLINDED] University positively impact students, and there are essential in the university’s work. The anxiety and adaptability levels of the fourth-year students are expected and can be explained by natural habituation after time and the influence of programs for overcoming various adaptation barriers.
