This article examines university students’ attitudes toward the practice of civic education in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the extent to which their civic attitudes and patriotic self-awareness have formed. Based on a quantitative study encompassing a representative sample of students from various regions, it is shown that a majority of respondents demonstrate strong civic attitudes and identify with the concept of a civic nation. At the same time, significant differences were found in the perception of civic identity depending on the language of instruction and type of locality. The data obtained indicates an overall successful influence of state policy on the formation of civic values among university students. However, the results also point to the need for a more differentiated approach to civic education at universities, considering regional, linguistic, and sociocultural characteristics of the youth. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the comprehensive analysis of the structure and factors of the formation of civic identity of Kazakhstan youth. The practical significance lies in the potential use of the results for developing educational programs and youth policy aimed at strengthening intercultural dialogue and national unity.
