In what areas can you take piece of advice/expertise? Continuing education(graduate application, GRE, GMAT, how to choose the right university, etc.)
Main motive in becoming a mentor: I believe the driving force for me to become a student mentor is the experience that I went through during the application process to graduate school. I had good support from my professors, but I lacked the feedback from the peers who actually went through the application process recently and had it fresh in their minds. Thus, I think that I can help some students who are
in the process of application to the graduate program in the US, and clarify and explain some issues and details that I wish someone has explained to me at that time.

Manager of NU Department of International Cooperation
MA in Eurasian Studies, NU SHSS, Class of 2019
Mexico
My NU history started in 2017. I am grateful for becoming part of a prestigious university in the heart of Eurasia. The purpose of coming to Kazakhstan, and to Nazarbayev University to study my chosen program was motivated by the fact that there are almost no Central Asian specialists in the Latin American region plus also fulfilling at the same time my dream in becoming immersed in Kazakh culture, language, and traditions. After completing my studies, I can say that NU completely exceeded my expectations not only on academic issues, but also in social life. I was able to get first-hand knowledge from recognized specialists in Anthropology, History, Linguistics, and Sociology with years of experience studying the Eurasian region who provided advice, support and recommendations at all times. Also, I was able to become a specialist in two regional languages: Russian and Kazakh to conduct my research project. Outside of studies, I got involved in one club to organize activities for graduate students, other club to promote Spanish language among students and staff members, and had the opportunity to create a club of my own to help our international student community. Through club activities, I was able to meet wonderful people from different educational levels and majors, and made life-lasting friendships with students from my cohort. If you are looking forward to excel yourself every day, get out of your comfort zone, explore a millenary culture, if you are always offering a helping hand to the community, and if you would like to get a first-level education, then this is the right place to be! We are looking forward for you to join our bright and hospitable community!

I came to Kazakhstan in the year 2016, and I graduated with honors from my program. While studying at NU, I had the opportunity to explore my research interest in the history of Kazakh-Chinese relations. For me, the opportunity to become part of Nazarbayev University was invaluable because I was not only able to expand my research interest by taking various courses related to the history of Central Asia and conducting research on the Kazakh-Chinese trade relations in the 19th century, but also I was able to learn more about Kazakh language and culture. I was very grateful for having great support from the faculty who truly care for the students always supporting them to pursue their academic interests.
Akmaral Myrzabekova
Having graduated with a BSc (Hons) Economics and Statistics in 2005, I worked for various national development institutions such as the Public-Private Partnership Center and the Kazakhstan Development Bank. When I looked at all MBA programs (both local and international), I wanted to find a program in English, practice oriented, based on an international curriculum, and more importantly, with world-class professors. NUGSB really was the environment in which I wanted to study.
The admissions process for Full-time MBA program was simple and transparent. Admissions managers not only guided me during the application process, but they also were very professional, friendly, and supportive. I knew immediately that this program was going to be at an international level.
The NUGSB Full-time MBA program has been a great and memorable experience. I enjoyed every single class I have taken. The classes are well organized, well equipped, and built around small group activities with real-world cases and assignments. Both the NUGSB and the visiting professors from the Duke University are highly professional with international experiences. Their lectures opened my mind, developed skills I lacked, and enriched me with new knowledge. The staff are always open, available, and highly interested in each student’s progress. The team building and career weeks, as well as the Distinguished Guest Lecture Series, are bonuses I would not miss – these events interconnect people, building long lasting friendships and professional networks.

Currently I work as a CEO at “Samruk-Energy” JSC. Samruk-Energy is a holding company with a mandate of implementing government policy in the energy sector. The company’s main spheres of activity are generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, and coal production. Samruk-Energy is represented almost in every region of the country, employing around 24 thousand people. The Company accounts for around 47% of Kazakhstan’s total electric capacity, almost 40% of the country’s electricity generation and coal production.
Today, in the era of globalization, the most important source of a company’s competitive advantage is its internal capabilities. Therefore, successful management of an organization requires a top manager to effectively mobilize a company’s resources in a way that both maximizes internal efficiency and meets external challenges.
Nazarbayev University, which was created on the initiative of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, today is one of the most successful educational and scientific projects in the region.
Tim Miller
It has been a privilege for me to lead the Tengizchevroil (TCO) partnership for the last four years. TCO operates the Tengiz and Korolev fields in Western Kazakhstan. Tengiz is the world’s deepest producing super giant field that was discovered in 1979. The TCO partnership was formed in 1993 and production from TCO accounts for 30% of the Republic of Kazakhstan’s crude oil output.
The success of TCO has been built on the hard work and dedication of its workforce through the years. Today, Kazakhstani citizens hold 86 percent of TCO positions, compared to 50 percent in 1993. Kazakhstani managers and supervisors represent 75 percent of the TCO managerial workforce. Ongoing training and development programs exist to support the advancement of employees to positions of increasing responsibility. The demanding work at TCO requires our leaders to be among the best in the world. Not only do they need deep functional expertise, but they must also have the right understanding of TCO’s business drivers and how a leader’s decisions can impact every element of the business and the workforce.

NU Alumni Public Union
«NU Alumni» Public Association was registered on October 2018 on the eve of the Fifth anniversary of Nazarbayev University graduation.
For the first time since 2015 when graduates of Nazarbayev University created the first Alumni Association to follow its mission to combine the creative and intellectual potential of graduates for the development of the University and the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Up to date, the Alumni Association, with the assistance of the Career and Advising Center, has strengthened the Alumni ties with the University, and contributed the professional growth and development of students.
Since 2016, 8 Chapters have been registered (USA, UK, Singapore, Republic of Korea, Germany, China, Almaty and Atyrau), 28 Ambassadors (22 abroad, 6 in Kazakhstan) have agreed to support the promotion of NU and two Alumni Reunions (2016, 2017) have been conducted.
We wish the «NU Alumni»Association success, prosperity and excellent work in the new status!

Тажи Кульжан
Привет, меня зовут Тажи Кульжан, и я инженер по вращающемуся оборудованию (машиностроение, как бы вы это ни называли) в North Caspian Operating Company (надеюсь, вы слышали о проекте Кашаган), и я хотел бы поделиться некоторыми идеями и мыслями из моего личного опыта. Я надеюсь, что они помогут вам сделать ваш будущий выбор. Я закончил университет в 2010 году по специальности инженер-механик, поэтому этот обзор будет с позиции инженера.
Прежде всего, прохождение практики помогло мне найти мою первую работу. То есть это очень эффективный инструмент для определения того, в какой отрасли вы хотели бы работать. В целом, я прошел 5 практик за годы обучения в университете:
Инженерный отдел Тулпар-Тальго (завод Тальго в Астане).
Эта практика помогла мне понять, что автомобильная промышленность Казахстана все еще требует значительного развития, и я решил попробовать что-то еще, где я могу развиваться быстрее;
AgipKCO в отделе надежности (бывший оператор Кашагана);
Практика в AgipKCO помогла мне изучить нефтегазовую отрасль, международные стандарты, многонациональную среду, важность аспектов HSE (здоровье, безопасность и окружающая среда), а также то, как обращаются с людьми в международных компаниях, и после этого я решил попробовать себя в нефти и газе. Интересно, что размеры и сложность технологического комплекса «Болашак» были весьма впечатляющими.
Практика в лаборатории робототехники (потому что меня всегда интересовали проекты по робототехнике);
«Шелл Казахстан Девелопмент» — СКД (ответственный за долю в проекте Кашаган);
AgipKCO в области статического машиностроения.
Вторая практика в AgipKCO была более осознанной с точки зрения выбора вида деятельности / дисциплины, гораздо более технической и ориентированной на получение работы в компании. Я провел один месяц, работая над проектом планирования хранения баллонов под давлением на прибрежном острове. Проект подразумевал рассмотрение аспектов безопасности, осуществимости и стоимости, а также разработку предложений с различными вариантами, а также их оценку и окончательную рекомендацию. Мне очень понравилось проходить эту практику, и я был благодарен за то, что я занимался проектом на уровне старшего инженера. Эта практика помогла мне получить предложение о работе после окончания учебы.
Прошло 2 года с момента моей работы, и я могу сказать, что столкновение с различными проблемами — это самая удивительная часть моей работы. Звучит странно, что проблемы могут быть удивительными, но, возможно, именно это отличает инженеров от других профессий. В настоящее время я являюсь координатором морского вращающегося оборудования, присматриваю за компрессорами для закачки кислого газа с самым высоким давлением в мире, тесно сотрудничаю с экспертами-партнерами по совместному предприятию, получаю большой опыт ввода в эксплуатацию, частые полеты на оффшорные острова. В конце концов, это все о том, чтобы быть в нужном месте в нужное время, и это запуск крупного проекта, который не так часто встречается сейчас в этой отрасли. Есть некоторые вещи, которые мне действительно нравятся в международных нефтегазовых компаниях в Казахстане — высокие стандарты безопасности, рабочая культура, достаточно хорошая зарплата и хорошие возможности для развития.
Безопасность действительно является одним из приоритетов, и я чувствую это каждый раз, когда захожу на месторождение. Все международные нефтегазовые компании имеют достаточно сильную культуру безопасности, потому что любой из этих инцидентов может повлиять на их репутацию на рынке. Каждое решение по управлению сайтом принимается с заботой о людях, которые там работают.
Если говорить о рабочей культуре, то она довольно дружелюбная и неформальная. В то же время, когда речь идет о производстве, она может быть очень сложной и напряженной, что является нормой для всех действующих компаний.
Что касается заработной платы, такие компании, как TCO, KPO и NCOC, предоставляют хороший социальный пакет (оплата за спортзал, медицинское страхование, детский сад, школьные пособия и т. Д.) и достаточно высокую заработную плату, которая выше средней в Астане или Алматы.
Если принять во внимание профессиональное развитие, я бы сказал, что эта отрасль, вероятно, является одним из самых быстрых способов узнать о существующих технологиях в смежных дисциплинах и ее применении в отрасли, которой, по моему мнению, не хватало на некоторых курсах NU. Несмотря на то, что это не совсем современные технологии, это может стать хорошей основой для будущего развития. Кроме того, я хорошо развил навыки межличностного общения, а также работал с разными людьми из разных культур и с разным опытом.
Несмотря на то, что меня попросили написать об отрасли в целом, я хотел бы провести различие между международными нефтегазовыми компаниями или их совместными предприятиями и национальными или местными компаниями, потому что я знаю, что эти две среды совершенно разные, и я не знаю много о втором.
Тем не менее, всегда есть другая сторона медали.
Есть некоторые вещи, которые, на мой взгляд, более негативны, такие как высокие риски в области ОЗТОС, не лучшее местоположение бизнеса, текущий кризис в отрасли, нехватка науки и технологий в подходе к решению проблем.
— Во-первых, нефтегазовая отрасль, особенно в Казахстане, особенно эти 3 крупных проекта, сопряжена с очень высокими рисками при эксплуатации. Кислый газ, высокое давление (650 бар на поверхности), высокая температура, химикаты и кислоты, легковоспламеняющиеся газы — все это делает этот бизнес очень рискованным с точки зрения здоровья, безопасности и окружающей среды. Несмотря на то, что это добавляет романтику в эту индустрию, все хотят вернуться домой здоровыми.
— Во-вторых, большую часть времени нефтегазовые компании расположены не в лучших городах. Это не исключение и для Казахстана, потому что промышленность сконцентрирована в западной части Казахстана, и такие города, как Атырау и Актау, как правило, считаются менее привлекательными для жизни, чем Алматы или Астана. У такой тенденции может быть несколько причин, таких как ограниченные возможности для отдыха, менее развитая инфраструктура, более суровые погодные условия и т. д. Поэтому спросите себя, готовы ли вы пожертвовать комфортом мегаполиса ради более быстрого опыта и лучших финансовых условий ?! Эта тенденция также в какой-то мере обусловлена нынешним кризисом цен на нефть.
— В-третьих, нынешний кризис делает нефтегазовую отрасль менее интересной для работника, вынуждая компании сокращать расходы и оптимизировать бизнес. Это скорее вопрос сравнения со временем, когда цена на нефть превышала 100 долларов за баррель. В результате меньше финансовых вознаграждений, меньше тренингов, столько же работы, распределенной между меньшим количеством людей, почти нет новых проектов в мире. Более того, это также повлияло на то, как компании пытаются решать проблемы.
— Наконец, отрасль очень консервативна и не требует большого количества научных навыков и знаний для решения проблем, что делает ее еще менее интересной с инженерной точки зрения. Этот момент может быть более актуальным для студентов НУ в Казахстане, потому что нас учили быть инженерами, а не техническими специалистами. Тем не менее, отрасль диктует очень практичный подход, который в большинстве случаев основан на предыдущем опыте и проверенных технологиях. Вы не будете чувствовать, что вы раздвигаете границы науки дальше от работы в отрасли, потому что основное внимание всегда уделяется стабильному производству. Вы редко увидите высокотехнологичные продукты на проекте, потому что они не проверены. Расчеты — это не то, что часто используется здесь, а правило большого пальца, стандарты и опыт. В частности, для инженеров-механиков, это потребует много работы с запасными частями, что не самая лучшая часть моей работы. Поставщики проектируют и разрабатывают свое оборудование, в то время как мы должны понимать основные особенности, обосновывая дизайн, не вдаваясь в мелкие детали. Иногда это может потребовать больше навыков управления проектами, чем фактическое проектирование, так как задействованы несколько дисциплин. Вы будете часто слышать высказывание «это не ракетостроение», и это правда.
Так что, если вы чувствуете, что хотите разработать что-то совершенно новое, я бы порекомендовал варианты, более близкие к науке или научному сообществу. Промышленный опыт все еще может быть очень полезным для понимания реальности разработки, чтобы избежать нереалистичных проектных предложений. Однако, если вы хотите использовать весь свой мозговой потенциал, развить что-то совершенно новое и думаете, что можете раздвигать границы науки и техники, я бы порекомендовал вам получить степень магистра (магистра или доктора наук) или присоединиться к исследованиям и разработкам компаний, которые не расположены в Казахстане.
В заключение я хотел бы поделиться интересными фактами из моего опыта работы:
NU уже рассматривается как структура для высокопотенциальных местных сотрудников в NCOC и TCO (насколько мне известно о TCO, они действительно набирают на работу много выпускников NU).
Токсичная тревога на месторождении, каждая тревога — это действительно небольшая интересная история. Если вы надеваете дыхательный аппарат, идете в безопасную зону, понимаете, что за пределами вашей маски может быть смертельно опасный токсичный газ, это создает особенное чувство профессиональной важности.
Я бы сказал, что студенты НУ достаточно умны, чтобы легко стать успешными специалистами в нефтегазовой отрасли. Когда я только присоединился к NCOC, у меня сложилось впечатление, что все экспаты очень умные люди и супер инженеры; однако сейчас я понимаю, что это не всегда так, а всего лишь годы опыта. Итак, вспоминая своих сокурсников из НУ, я бы сказал, что работа в промышленности не будет проблемой.
Я желаю вам всего наилучшего в ваших начинаниях, делайте правильный выбор, следуйте своему сердцу и не обращайте внимания на мое плохое письмо. Надеюсь, мое сообщение будет полезным.
В случае, если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы, я рад помочь (Tazhi.kulzhan@gmail.com)
С Уважением,
Тажи.

Вы думаете, что будете счастливы, когда вы закончите колледж, когда вы получите высокий средний балл, когда вы путешествуете за границей, когда у вас есть деньги, когда вы переезжаете в США. Ты счастлив сейчас?
Итак, вы в конечном итоге живете в Пало-Альто. Это типичный американский пригород (ну, пожалуй, жить здесь гораздо дороже, чем на Среднем Западе). Конечно, у вас были другие варианты; Вы пытались поступить в дюжину разных университетов по всему миру. Однако, когда вы получили ответ из «Стэнфорда», вы бросили все другие школы, потому что, в общем, А) это Стэнфорд, Б) вы чертовски элитарны и В) адвайзер вашей мечты работает здесь. Кого ты пытаешься обмануть? Последнее не имело значения (см. B, затем A), но вы достаточно глупы, чтобы понять, что это единственное, что действительно имеет значение.
Вы прибываете сюда, полный надежд и мечтаний. Погода идеальная. Не слишком жарко, не слишком влажно. В одном шаге от рая. Ориентационная неделя. Вы начинаете заводить друзей. Есть группа китайцев, французов и остальных. Вы идете через сквер, и туристы спрашивают вас по-китайски, и вы возмущены. Как ты смеешь говорить со мной по-китайски? Вы явно азиат, но говорите по-русски и … по-казахски? Но потом вы поймали себя на мысли: поскольку я математик, вероятностно говоря, они могут подумать, что я говорю на каком-то восточноазиатском языке.
Проходят дни, начинается четверть. Вы ошеломлены тестом / домашней работой по линейной алгебры. Вы думаете, на что я подписался? Могу ли я вернуться? Точно нет. Разве это не было твоей мечтой? Начинается несчастная жизнь аспиранта. В то время как погода на улице просит вас покататься на велосипеде или поиграть в волейбол, вы тонете в домашних заданиях и отлаживаете свой код. То, что вы выучили в колледже, недостаточно для того, чтобы удержать вас на плаву. Вы думаете, что это Стэнфорд, и тогда учение должно быть великолепным. Ха-ха, нет. Не здесь. Это место, где более 1000 студентов могут посещать один и тот же класс одновременно с вами. Так что молчи.
Не все так плохо. Вы выходите. Вы встречаете людей. Вам действительно удается подружиться. Действительно хорошие друзья. Друзья из вашей программы. Они также страдают, так что вы, ребята, связаны между собой своими общими страданиями — домашними заданиями и экзаменами. Вы обедаете с ними, говорите о политике. Ребята, это ноябрь 2016 года, и вы живете в Штатах. Каждый обеденный перерыв заканчивается этим Cheeto In Chief и его действиями. Каждый день для него — новый минимум. Затем проходят дни. Конечно, вы несгибаемый прогрессив, который поддерживает все социально либеральное. Вы на самом деле не «с ней», но она намного лучше, чем 45-е. Хватит о политике. Вы пришли сюда, чтобы заниматься математикой. Или это то, что вы продолжаете говорить себе.
Квартал заканчивается. Вы чувствуете, что только что пережили войну, и первое, что вы делаете, это ложитесь спать. Тебя не волнуют твои лучшие друзья из колледжа, которые приезжают из другого американского пригорода. Когда вы говорите своим друзьям, что живете в Стэнфорде, они автоматически предполагают, что вы живете в Сан-Франциско. Затем они появляются и видят мертвый кампус Стэнфорда. Какое разочарование. Вы чувствуете себя одиноким и несчастным каждый день. Вы буквально достигли дна депрессии, когда два дня не ели. Вы не можете сосредоточиться на чем-либо. Вы перестали смотреть Netflix, вы перестали общаться с родителями, друзьями. Вы перестали жить своей жизнью. Вы просто существуете. Но у тебя есть хорошие друзья. Поэтому они предлагают вам увидеть сокращение. Вы понимаете, что, если вы хотите сделать это здесь, вам, вероятно, нужно обратиться к терапевту. Есть много причин для падения. Вы обвиняете своих родителей, свое детство, себя, дух и свои оценки. Раньше ты был на вершине всего. Теперь нет.
Ваша терапия начинается. Вам нравится испытывать новые вещи. Терапия заставляет вас чувствовать себя богатым человеком из тех фильмов, которые вы смотрели в Астане. Вы узнаете о когнитивно-поведенческой терапии. Вы делаете ежедневный список трех хороших вещей, которые произошли с вами. Вы рассказываете о своем детстве, своих родителях, своих занятиях, своей личной жизни незнакомцу. Ну, технически, это твой доктор. В начале вы держите это в секрете, потому что знаете, что это позор, верно? Тогда поймите, это не проблема. Ваши одноклассники думают, что вы смелы, чтобы обратиться за помощью. Без осуждений. Вас действительно поддерживают. Сразу после пяти сеансов вы начинаете чувствовать себя лучше. Вы начинаете наслаждаться уроками впервые с вашего приезда. Зимние семестры заканчиваются хорошо, к вашему полному удивлению. Затем вы отправляетесь в Колумбию на весенние каникулы, потому что вам понравились романы Габриэля Гарсиа Маркеса. Вы прочитали все из них. Вы путешествуете в Картахену. В ОДИНОЧЕСТВЕ. Вы решаете, что это будет ваше последнее путешествие в одиночку.
Весенний семестр начинается с подготовки к квалификационным экзаменам. Это важный экзамен в вашей жизни. Если вы не сдали, нет степени Доктора Философии для тебя. Вы начинаете готовиться к ним. Вы начинаете винить себя за то, что недостаточно усердно работаете. Вы ненавидите себя за то, что не ложитесь спать поздно, чтобы решить эту проблему стохастики. В то же время вы пытаетесь найти стажировку на лето. Вы думаете, что я должен вернуться и остаться с моими родителями, а вам 23 года! Кто остается с его / ее родителями, когда ему / ей 23 года? Никто! Угадайте, что у вас есть только одно интервью из десяти, а вы его не получили. И все продолжают говорить, что Стэнфорд в вашем резюме решит все проблемы. Ну, это не так. Я живой пример этого.
Вы провалили 2 из 6 тестов. Вы думаете, не плохо, потому что вы можете вернуть два в сентябре. Подводя итоги последних 9 месяцев: вы были в депрессии, вы потерпели неудачу, вы не прошли стажировку, вы не прошли все свои экзамены. Вы даже подумываете о том, чтобы бросить учебу, вернуться и научить чему-нибудь.
В отчаянии вы говорите со своим предполагаемым советником и рассказываете ему о своей ситуации. Если Бог существует, тогда он и есть твой Господь, Божественное Существо. Он предлагает вам работу на летнее время, хорошо платит и назначает за тобой проект. Вы работаете над этим проектом и получаете результаты. Вы думаете, что знаете что-то. И вы знаете что? Вы действительно что-то знаете! Вам нужна была эта проверка, проверка от человека, которым вы восхищаетесь. Вы даже не ожидали, что представите эту работу в Гонконге, самой высокой конференции по прикладной линейной алгебре. Самая большая ирония в том, что в сентябре вы снова и снова проиграете. Но это другая история.

Назарбаев Университет стал отправной точкой моего путешествия в Мир Химии, который полон испытаний и наград одновременно. Мои воспоминания о NU тесно связаны с синтетической лабораторией и комнатой ЯМР, где я провела большую часть своего времени, выполняя свои первые исследовательские проекты с доктором Карром, который создал для нас лучший химический факультет. Когда я думаю о NU, первым, кто приходит мне в голову, является доктор Карр, который был очень строгим, но в то же время очень честным профессором, который очень поддерживает и готов дать совет даже после нашего выпуска.
Я всегда любила химию и занималась исследовательской работой во время обучения в NU, что позволило мне поступить на магистратуру по программе Research в одном из университетов Russel Group, Университета Бирмингема.
Я определенно хотела принять участие в исследованиях чистой органической химии, и идеальным проектом чтобы показать себя химиком-органиком стал проект — тотальный синтез, который обычно не выбирают добровольно. В течение года обучения в магистратуре я работала над синтезом морского натурального продукта, диоксетана, который обладает многообещающей противоопухолевой активностью.
Я закончила свою исследовательскую программу на год раньше, чем ожидалось. Когда я вернулась домой, я начала сильно скучать по лаборатории и исследованиям. Поэтому я была уверена, что готова начать свою кандидатскую диссертацию и что я не могу представить свою жизнь без химии и исследований.
В настоящее время я работаю над Докторской диссертацией в Университете Ливерпуля в области механохимии, где мы синтезируем и изучаем наши системы с физической точки зрения. Наша исследовательская группа разнообразна, и проекты включают в себя органическую, физическую, вычислительную, полимерную и механическую области химии. Это такой уникальный опыт, когда у вас есть все возможности развить себя в качестве исследователя, узнать новые вещи и иметь свободу в освоении новых областей и иметь такое чувство, что мы можем помочь человечеству.
Моя история все еще продолжается, но я твердо чувствую, что, будучи одним из выпускников Назарбаев Университета, мне открылись широкие возможности для моего будущего пути. После окончания учебы я определенно чувствую, что все то давление со стороны профессоров химии развило во мне сильную иммунную систему для решения задач химического мира.
По-моему, программа Доктора философии не только о науке и исследованиях, но также о сбалансированности социальной, исследовательской и наставнической деятельности.
В настоящее время я учусь балансировать свою исследовательскую работу, социальную и наставническую деятельность. Я и Адиль Жармуханбетов организовали первые мероприятия для выпускников НУ в Великобритании и в настоящее время участвую в организации ежегодного исследовательского форума в Великобритании, который может послужить платформой для молодых ученых из Казахстана для обсуждения предварительных результатов и тесного сотрудничества с Университетами Великобритании. В настоящее время я также собрала всех студентов докторантовиз Казахстана, и мы создали Ассоциацию Kaz Ph.D. в Великобритании, которая будет функционировать после Нового 2018 года как программа наставничества, чтобы помочь старшеклассникам и студентам.
На мой взгляд, успешный ученый не может полагаться только на удачу, он должен быть трудолюбивым, амбициозным, умным и креативным. Назарбаев Университет научил меня усердно работать, а не ждать, принимать вызовы, выходить из зоны комфорта и смотреть в будущее! Основные уроки, которые я выучила в NU — Вы должны быть посвящены вашей работе, быть открытыми для изучения новых вещей, не игнорировать просьбы/ предложения профессоров и строить доверительные отношения с людьми, которых вы любите и уважаете.

Мне 23 года, я старше Железного Майка, когда он стал чемпионом мира, моложе Рэя Крока, когда он основал McDonald’s. Тем не менее, это не имеет значения; единственное, что имеет значение, это то, что ты лучше, чем вчера. Вам не хватает времени, когда вы были смелее, умнее, дисциплинированнее и увереннее? Если да, я должен вас поздравить, вы на шаг ближе к тому, чтобы стать лучше сегодня, так как вы начинаете признавать свои слабости, и теперь у вас есть еще одна причина работать больше.
Когда я учился на последнем курсе в Назарбаев Университете, мне вдруг пришла в голову мысль, что, несмотря на то, что я прошел 7 различных стажировок (команда трансформации бизнеса Самрук-Энерго, Национальный космический центр КазГарышСапары, Алтел, Мажилис Парламента РК, партия НурОтан, Корпоративное управление Самрук-Энерго, Институт энергетики им. Чокина), я до сих пор не уверен в том, где я готов работать. Именно тогда я и мой друг Бейбарыс начали наш бизнес-проект: подготовка старшеклассников к поступлению в Назарбаев Университет и сдаче экзамена NUFYPET (ранее SET). Это был большой опыт, когда мы поняли, что мы способны сделать больше, чем то, что уже построено, мы можем создать что-то из ничего. Это чувство сопровождает каждое решение, которое мы приняли с тех пор.
После успешного завершения нашего проекта, мы перешли к нашему заключительному проекту Capstone и в конце концов получили высшее образование. Пока я был в середине последнего семестра, появилась следующая возможность: 10-недельный стартап-инкубатор, организованный ТОО «Zero to One Labs» в Алматы, с целью обучения участников разработке мобильных приложений и созданию 50 мобильных приложений. Я подал заявку и был принят в качестве маркетолога. В конце инкубатора наше приложение, созданное 4 людьми, было бесплатно опубликовано на популярных новостных порталах, таких как Tengrinews и NurKz, и позволило нашему мобильному приложению «Жети Ата» стать самым загружаемым приложением в AppStore в течение одной недели с общим количеством 15 000 пользователей. Я почувствовал, что если ты сделаешь, то что любишь, ты получишь вознаграждение в ответ.
Прошел 1 месяц, и я смог получить предложение о работе от ведущей аудиторской / консалтинговой фирмы PwC и вернулся в Астану, чтобы заниматься управленческим консалтингом. PwC дал мне большой опыт в создании презентаций по продажам, продвинутой работе в Excel, практике изучения финансов и рынка. Несмотря на то, что у меня не было финансового опыта, онлайн-образование и квалифицированный менеджмент помогли мне плавно перейти от чисто инженерных проблем к финансовым. Меня повысили с интерна до консультанта за 3 месяца, а не за шесть, и с консультанта С1 до консультанта С2 через 5 месяцев, после моих переговоров с моим менеджером и директором, тяжелой работы и аудио-лекций Виктора Чэна. PwC стало примером того, как должна работать хорошо спроектированная и стабильная компания.
Через некоторое время в PwC я начал задавать себе вопрос: «Действительно ли я сейчас нахожусь, где я должен быть?». Когда ответ становится все более и более неопределенным, я понял, что некоторые вещи нужно изменить. Почему я был готов уйти из компании Big4? Неспособность рисковать, небольшой диапазон ответственности и просто не самое подходящее для кого-то, кто больше «ноль к одному», а не «один к бесконечности». Однако у меня была причина провести почти год в PwC — я научился быть структурированным, дисциплинированным, трудолюбивым и использовать нисходящий подход в решении проблем и не пытаться сделать невозможное, чтобы добраться до сути.
Итак, вот и я, ассистент CBDO в 4-летней IT-компании Aviata.kz с годовым доходом в 40 миллионов долларов США, стремящейся стать международной компанией, основанной в Казахстане без внешней поддержки. Получив диплом по специальности «Электротехника и электроника», я не понимаю, почему я работаю на этой должности. Ответ прост: Ма Юнь (Джек Ма) однажды сказал, что мы должны найти и следовать за нашим наставником с 20 лет. Дело в том, что правильный наставник в нужной отрасли в нужное время имеет огромное значение.
Aviata — небольшая компания: более 70 сотрудников, постоянно меняющиеся процессы, широкое лидерство и среда запуска. Я здесь работаю: набираю, совершенствую внутренние процессы, занимаюсь бизнес-аналитикой, организую мероприятия и занимаюсь управлением продуктами. Вот что хорошо в небольших компаниях с хорошим лидерством! Вы можете выполнять многие функции в организации, развивать свой опыт и просто оставаться предпринимателем. Мы работаем с гибкими методологиями, такими как Scrum и Kanban, и реализуем стратегии компаний Valley.
Присоединяйтесь к моему личному телеграмму, который называется «бумажные самолеты», где я делюсь своим опытом, знаниями и знаниями в сфере бизнеса, предпринимательства и саморазвития. В конце я хочу рассказать вам 13 идей. Придерживаться их или нет, выбор за вами:
Учитесь, как вы учите других, приобретайте знания, когда вы ими делитесь (см. «Эффект протеже»)
Обменивайтесь вредными привычками с хорошими (Сила привычки, Чарльз Дюгиг)
Оставьте рабочие места, которые вам не подходят
Терпите неудачи рано, часто, быстро и относитесь спокойно к отказам
Окружите себя единомышленниками, которые умнее, лучше и смелее вас
Читайте, читайте больше, чем когда-либо (генеральный директор читает в среднем 60 книг в год)
Обменивайте свою молодость на лучшие вещи, время — деньги, включайте цену возможности
Конкурируйте со вчерашним собой
Узнавайте как люди думают и действуют, находите правильный подход к каждому человеком, чтобы лучше сотрудничать
Ищите побуждения и мотивы, которые подходят вам лучше всего, заключайте сделки с вашим эго
Соберите свою антибиблиотеку (Черный лебедь, Нассиб Николас Талеб)
Говорите людям что вы считаете правильным, оспаривайте свое понимание мнением других
Просыпайтесь до рассвета.
Мадина Кабдуалиева
О моем поступлении в аспирантуру: я окончил Назарбаев Университет в 2016 году со степенью Бакалавра в области Политологии и Международных отношений и Социологии в качестве второй специальности. В последний год обучения в Назарбаев Университете я решила подать заявление на получение степени магистра по международным отношениям в Высшем институте международных исследований и исследований в области развития (французский язык: Institut de Hautes études Internationales et du développement), Женева, Швейцария. Я была единственным студентом из Казахстана в когорте класса 2018 года и третьим студентом из нашей страны, который посещал Институт с 1927 года. Я получил две полные стипендии, одну от Института, а другую от Фонда Ганса Вильсдорфа (FYI: последний назван в честь основателя компании Rolex, который решил организовать фонд, который поможет студентам из развивающихся стран даже после его смерти). Обе стипендии были предоставлены на основе академической успеваемости и моего опыта: различия в экономических условиях Швейцарии и Казахстана являются космическими, что послужило хорошей мотивацией для оказания мне финансовой помощи. Стипендия выплачивается в течение одного учебного года, и до начала второго года студенты должны повторно подать заявку. Это позволяет администрации Института видеть, имеет ли кандидат хорошие академические показатели и все еще нуждается ли в финансовой помощи.
О аспирантуре и СНУ: институт является научно-исследовательским институтом, который предоставляет образование только студентам, обучающимся по программам магистратуры и докторантуры. Каждый год около 35 студентов принимаются на каждую кафедру, что делает наш Институт совсем небольшим, хотя Институт выпускников был основан почти сто лет назад. Институт считается лучшей школой в сфере международных отношений в Европе и входит в число лучших в мире. Из-за организационной структуры исследовательского института вы не сможете найти его в официальном рейтинге университетов. Тем не менее, его выдающиеся выпускники и тесное сотрудничество с ООН и другими ведущими мировыми организациями служат ярким доказательством ее конкурентоспособности. Экс-Генеральный секретарь ООН Кофи Аннан окончил аспирантуру и является нашим частым гостем. Также несколько лауреатов Нобелевской премии по экономике, таких как Леонид Гурвич и Мохамед Эль Барадей. Моя программа междисциплинарная, то есть она базируется на нескольких дисциплинах одновременно, наиболее важными из которых являются международные отношения, экономика и международное право. В рамках этой программы доступны три варианта: глобальная и региональная интеграция, исследования международных конфликтов и глобальное здравоохранение и окружающая среда. Я выбрала первый трек, который ориентирован в первую очередь на изучение экономики, бизнеса, финансов и торговли. В дополнение к определенным требованиям курса, я должна представить диссертацию на моем последнем семестре и достичь уровня владения C1 на французском языке.
В настоящее время я учусь в Высшей школе международных исследований при Сеульском национальном университете, в рамках моего семестра по обмену. Многие из моих друзей запутались, когда узнали, что вместо возвращения в Швейцарию я отправился в Южную Корею. Чтобы уточнить, я приехала сюда чтобы написать свою диссертацию, которая посвящена экономике Восточной Азии. SNU является одним из крупнейших университетов в Азии и входит в список 30 лучших университетов мира. Я бы сказала, что система образования здесь более спокойная, чем в Женеве. Кроме того, стиль преподавания и структура заданий отличаются от Назарбаев Университета, Аспирантуры или Университета Висконсин-Мэдисон. Я счастлива, что у меня есть шанс испытать различные образовательные системы, поскольку это дает мне лучшее понимание того, как профессионалы в своей области обучаются в разных странах.
О жизни за границей: жизнь в Женеве и в Сеуле сильно отличается от жизни в Астане. Женева очень спокойная, и, хотя это второй по величине город в Швейцарии, в нем проживает всего 170 000 жителей. ООН является центром городской жизни, и вы часто можете видеть дипломатов или других служащих с синими значками, висящими на их груди. Мой институт расположен прямо напротив здания ООН, а офис ВОЗ находится по другую сторону, так что вы вряд ли почувствуете здесь недостаток мотивации. В отличие от других крупных европейских городов, Женева никогда не бывает переполнена, люди возвращаются домой рано, и почти никто не работает по воскресеньям. Сеул, напротив, очень живой и динамичный. Для меня это как Нью-Йорк, но лучше. Я искренне обожаю азиатскую бизнес-культуру и их отношение к своей работе. Независимо от того, где вы находитесь, вы, как правило, пользуетесь высококачественными услугами, и меня удивляет сколько времени местные студенты проводят в своих университетах или на рабочих местах. Оба города наделены исключительно красивой природой, поэтому я не могла представить ничего лучшего, кроме как провести два года в обоих этих местах. Если вы похожи на меня и вам также небезразличен город, в котором вы будете учиться/работать, я настоятельно рекомендую рассмотреть эти два места. Кроме того, оба города вдохновили меня попробовать что-то новое, будь то уроки испанского, французского или спорт.
О планах на будущее: чем больше я учусь и чем больше стран посещаю, тем меньше планов я пытаюсь составить. Быть молодой женщиной в 21-м веке каждый день открывает множество возможностей, и я просто стараюсь извлечь максимум из всего, что у меня есть. После получения степени я хотела бы приехать в Казахстан, поскольку я всегда хотела внести свой вклад в экономический, социальный и политический рост моей страны. Я надеюсь, что с нынешними полномочиями и знаниями я смогу сделать что-то значимое и вызвать позитивные изменения в нашем обществе вместе с другими выпускниками Назарбаев Университета.
Совет студентам: трудно дать несколько очень полезных советов, так как я считаю, что каждый человек должен найти свой собственный путь в зависимости от личных предпочтений, ценностей и опыта. В целом, я считаю, что первокурсникам следует сосредоточиться на понимании того, что им нравится, а что нет. Первые годы в университете нужны для того, чтобы пробовать разные классы и дисциплины, поэтому не упустите возможность проходить курсы на разных факультетах. Приложите усилия, чтобы расставить приоритеты в деятельности, которая делает вас счастливыми и будет полезна для вас в будущем. Например, если вам нравится изучать иностранные языки, запишитесь на языковые курсы, но подумайте дважды, прежде чем выбрать, какой язык вы хотите изучать и где вы сможете его использовать. После второго курса, начните искать стажировки не только летом, но и осенью и весенние семестры. Не бойтесь связываться с крупными фирмами или неправительственными организациями и просить принять вас на практику. Уровень конкуренции в Казахстане очень низкий по сравнению со Швейцарией или Южной Кореей, поэтому используйте эту ситуацию с умом. Будьте готовы, что едва ли кто-нибудь поручит вам выполнить сложные задания и не разочаровывайтесь, если все, что вы делаете, — это оформление документов. Каждый положительный или отрицательный опыт поможет вам понять кое-что о нашем рынке труда и корпоративной культуре, поэтому не останавливайтесь только потому, что у вас была скучная работа: у вас может быть десять утомительных заданий, прежде чем вы найдете то, что вам нужно. Юниоры, начните составлять список университетов, в которые вы хотите поступить, или организаций, в которых вы будете работать. Не откладывайте подготовку к GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT или любым другим тестам, поскольку все они требуют много времени и тяжелой работы. Менее напряженно тратить один год на подготовку, изучая 20 новых слов и решая 20 математических задач каждый день, вместо того, чтобы пытаться запомнить десятки слов и задач в течение одного месяца. Старшие курса, только не переживайте. К этому времени большинство из вас накопило достаточно знаний, чтобы выйти на рынок труда. Некоторые из вас сразу преуспеют, другим понадобится немного больше времени, чтобы очистить свои мысли и найти себя. Сравнение себя с вашими товарищами может быть хорошей стратегией, которая может мотивировать вас работать больше, но это также может быть негативной практикой, которая вызовет много негативных чувств. Ваша личность уникальна, и вам не нужно следовать общему пути для достижения ваших целей.
Я всегда рада помочь нашим студентам и ответить на вопросы, которые у них есть, если только это не вопросы о том, «как я поступила в университет». На этот вопрос невозможно ответить, поскольку только приемная комиссия знает точные причины. В любом другом случае, не стесняйтесь связаться со мной. Держите себя в безопасности, наслаждайтесь своей молодостью, будьте смелыми, чтобы признать свои слабости и сосредоточиться на развитии своих сильных сторон.
С любовью, Мадина.

Тажи Кульжан
Сәлем, менің атым Тажи Кульжан.
Мен айналмалы құралдар инженерімін (машина жасау саласы, NorthCaspianOperatingCompany) (Кашаған жобасы туралы естіген шығарсыздар), мен өз тәжірибеммен бөліспекпін. Бәлкім сендерге бір көмегі тиіп қалар. Мен университетті 2010 жылы инженер-механик мамандығы бойынша бітірдім, содықтан бұл әңгіме инженер көзімен айтылады.
Мен өз мамандығымды практика кезінде таптым. Бұл менімше, өте нәтижелі тәжірибе. Университетте оқыған жылдары 5 рет практика өттім
• Астанадағы Тулпар-Тальго заводының инженер бөлімінде.
Бұл практика маған Қазақстанда автомобиль саласы әлі де дамуы қажет екенін көрсетті, мен өзім үшін тағыда жұмыстар іздеп қалайда өсуімді көздедім;
• AgipKCO ,Сенімділік бөлімінде(Кашаган);
Бұл практика мені мұнай газ саласымен таныстырды.Халықаралық стандарттар, көпұлтты орта,қауіпсіздік, адамдармен қарым-қатынас жасау – осының бәрі жас маманға қажет екенін түсіндім. Мен өзімді осы салада байқап көрмекші болдым. «Болашак» технологиялық кешеннің көлемі мен күрделілігі тым зор екенін байқадым.
• Робототехника лабораториясындағы практика ( робототехника бойынша жобалар маған қашанда қызық болатын);
• «Шелл Казахстан Девелопмент» — СКД ( Кашаган жобасында бқлігі ұшін жауапты)
• AgipKCO статикалық машина жасау саласы.
AgipKCO-дағы екінші практика кәсіби бағыт таңдау мағынасында пайдалы болды. Себебі бұл жұмыстың техникалық сипаты мол және осы компанияда жұмыс істеуге бағытталған. Мен бір ай бойы аралда «Қысымдағы баллондардың сақталуы» атты жобамен жұмыс істедім. Бұл жоба көптеген мәселені шешіп тұр – жүзеге асыру мүмкүндігін, бағасын, қауыпсіздік аспектлерін, тағыда басқа әр түрлі ұсыныстарды, бағалауын және де нақты ұсыныстарды қарастырады.
Сөзсіз, бұл тәжірибе маған ұнады, жобаға бас инженер ретінде қатысқаныма әбден ризамын. Оқудан кейін осында жұмысқа шақырылдым.
Содан бері 2 жыл өтті. Әр түрлі мәселелерді шешу мен үшін жұмыстың ең қызықты жері. Шешілмей жатқан мәселені қызықты деп тұрғаным ерсі көрінер, бірақ инженер мамандығының ерекшелігі осы ма деймін. Қазіргі кезде мен теңіздік айналмалы құрылымдардың үйлестірушісімін. Қышқыл газбен толтырылатын әлемдегі ең жоғары қысымды копрессорларды қараймын, эксперт-серіктестермен байланыс орнатамын, іске қосу бойынша үлкен тәжірибе аламын, оффшорлы аралдарға барамын. Бір сөзбен айтқанда, кез келген жерде,кез келген уақытта табыламын. Аталмыш салада бұл жыйы кездеспейтін үлкен жоба.
Қазақстандағы халықаралық мұнайгаз компанияларында маған ұнайтын нәрсе көп – қауыпсіздіктің жоғары деңгейі, жұмыс мәдениеті, еңбек ақы, даму мүмкүншілігі.
• Қауыпсіздік басты назарда,мен мұны кен орнына келген сайын байқаймын. Бұл барлық халықаралық мұнайгаз компанияларына тән.Олай болмайынша копанияның нарықтағы беделі күрт түседі.
Қандай шешім қабылданса да, ол ең алдымен жұмысшылар жағдайына бейімделінеді.
• Жұмыс мәдениетіне келетін болсақ, ол тіптен қолайлы.Ұжымда жылы, достастық,ынталандыратындай атмосфера.Өндірістік сұрақтарға келгенде күрделі жағдай болуы мүмкін.Бірақ бұл компания ұшін қалыпты жағдай.
• Еңбек ақыға келетін болсақ, TCO, KPO және NCOC, компаниялары жақсы әлеуметтік көмек ұсынады ( спортзал ақысы, медициналық сақтандыру, бала бақшасы, оқушы құралдары т. б.) және жеткілікті еңбек ақы.
• Кәсіби тұрғыдан өсу. Бұл салада жүріп әлемдегі технологиялармен, қосымша білімдермен олардың қолданысымен танысуға болады. НУ да бұл жағы осал.Мұның бәрі кәсіби өсуге ұлкен көмек. Және де атап өтетін жай. Осы жұмыста жүріп адаммен тіл табысу, қарым-қатынас орнату, әр елдің өкілдерімен жұмыс жасау үлкен тәжірибе беретіні сөзсіз.
Жалпы сала туралы жаза отырып, халықаралық мұнайгаз комапияларымен ұлттық жергілікті компаниялар арсындағы айырмашылққа толқталмақпын, бұл мүлдем екі орта екенін білсем де, екіншісі жайлы толығырақ мағлұмат алғым келеді.
Кез келген мәселе әдетте екі жақты.
Менімше көңіл толмайтын нәрселер бар. ОЗТОС саласындағы үлкен қауыпті жағдайлар, кәсіптің дұрыс орналаспауы, саладағы тоқырау, ғылыммен жаңа технологиялардың жетіспеуі.
— Біріншіден,Қазақстагдаға мұнайгаз саласының жұмысы қауыпты жағдайлардан қорғалмаған. Қышқыл газ, жоғары қысым, жоғары температура, химикаттар және қышқылдар, жедел жанатын газдар – мұның бәрі компания жұмысын, атап айтқанда, денсаулық үшін, қоршаған орта үшін қауыпты қылады.
— Екіншіден, көптеген мұнайгаз компаниялары дұрыс орналаспаған.Сала Қазақстанның батысында орналасқан және де Ақтау, Атырау қалалары Алматы мен Астанадай өмірге қолайлы емес. Инфрақұрылым дамымаған, ауа райы қатаң, демалыс орындары тапшы т.б. Сондықтан өзіңізден сұраңыз – қолайлы мегаполисты тастап, ақшаны ғана көздеп мұндай жаққа бара алар ма едіңіз.
— Үшіншіден, қазіргі экономикалық дағдарыс мұнай саласының жұмысын шектеп, шығынды азайтуға мәжбір етуде. Қаржылай ынталандыру шектелді, тренингтер азайды, жаңа жобалар жоқтың қасы. Дегенмен компаниялар өз проблемаларын шешуде.
— Ең соңғысы,бұл сала өте ескі, көп ғылыми көзқарасты талап етпейді, инженерлік тұрғыдан бұл жағдай салаға күш тартуға кедергі етеді. . НУ студенттеріне бұл мәселе маңызды болуы керек, өйткені бізді техникалық мамандар емес инженерлер болуға үйретті. Дегенмен сала алға жылжуда,бұған негіз болып отырған тәжірибе және сенімді технологиялар. Сондықтан ғылым шекарасын мен кеңейтудемін деген ой сізде болмайды, өйткені өндіріс өте тұрақты. Заманауи технология көрмейсіз,себебі олар сыннан өтпеген. Мұнда қолданыста есеп емес, сандарт пен тәжірибе. Инженер-механиктер қосалқы бөлшектермен ұзақ жұмыс істейді. Жеткізушілер өз құралдарын құрастырады, біз жалпы қабылдаймыз дизайнына қараймыз, детальдарға мән бермейміз.Бұл көп жағдайда біліктілікті,білімді талап етеді
Сондықтан сіз жаңа жоба жасамақ болсаңыз өндіріске емес ғылымға, ғылыми қауымдастыққа жақын болуыңыз керек. Өндірістік тәжірибе әрине қажет.Бірақ үлкен көлемде мүлдем жаңа ғылыми еңбекпен шұғылданамын десеңіз ең абзалы өз білім әлеуетіңізді сапалы түрде көтеру. Сонда сіздің жолыңыз магистратура, докторантура.
Соңында өз іс-тәжірибемнен:
NU NCOC және TCO арналған жоғарғы потенциалды жергілікті қызметкерлердің құрылымы ретінде қаралады.
Кен орнындағы дабыл — бұл шын мәнінде қызықты оқиға. Сіз тыныс алу аппаратын киіп қауыпсыз аймаққа барасыз, сіз өте қауыпты, зиянды газ сізді қоршап тұрғанын білесіз. Аса жоғары кәсібилік тап осы жерде керек екенін де білесіз.
НУ студенттері мұнайгаз саласының білікті мамандары бола алатынына мен сенемін. Мен NCOC-ға келгенде барлық ақылды, ғұлама инженерлер осында екен деп ойладым. Мұндай болу үшін көп тәжірибе керек екенін тек қазір түсіндім.
Мен барлық бастамаларыңызға сәттілік тілеймін, дұрыс таңдау жасаңыздар, жүрек қалауымен жүріңіздер. Менің кеңестерім қажет болып қалар.
Сіз ойласыз — колледж бітірсем, жақсы балл алсам , шет елге барсам, ақшам болса, АҚШ қа көшсем мен бақытты болар едім деп. Қазір бақыттысыз ба?
Сонымен, Пало-Альтода тұрып жатырсыз. Бұл үлкен қаланың шеті (өмір сүру бұл жерде қымбат). Әрине сізде басқа да варианттар бар. Әлемнің қаншама университетіне түскіңіз келді. «Стэнфорд» университетінен хабар келгенде барлық мектепті тастадыңыз, өйткені: А) бұл Стэнфорд, Б) сіз элитарлыққа жақынсіз В)арманыңыз тап осы жерде орындалады.
Арманыңызды арқалап осында келдіңіз. Күн тамаша. Жұмақтың өзі! Бейімделу аптасы. Достар пайда болды –қытайлықтар, француздарт.б. Сізден біреу қытайша сұрап тұр. Ренжисіз. Сіз азиатсыз, тек орысша,қазақша сөйлейсіз. Оларда сізді түсінбейді.
Күндер өтіп жатыр, тоқсан басталды. Алгебрадан берілген үй тапсырмасы сізді таңқалдырды. Мен қайда қол қойғанмын деп ойладыңыз? Кетуіме бола ма? Жоқ. Бұл сенің арманың емес пе еді? Аспирант өмірі басталды. Ауа райы тамаша волейбол ойнап, велосипед тепкіңіз келеді. Бірақ бас көтертпейтін үй тапсырмасы бар. Колледжде алған біліміңіз аз. Бұл Стэнфорд, мұнда оқу ғажап деп ойлайсыз. Олай емес. Мұнда 1000 студент сізбен бір класста отыруы мүмкін.
Бірақ, жаман емес.Біраз достар таптыңыз. Оларда тура сіз сияқ ты қиналып жүр. Бірге тамақ ішесіздер, саясатты талқылайыздар. Бұл 2016 жыл, АҚШ. Күндер өтіп жатыр. Сіз мұнда математикамен шұғылдануға келдіңіз.
Квартал аяқталып қалды. Тура соғысқа тән қарбалас аяқталды –ұйықтау керек! Басқа қаладан іздеп келген достар да жайымен қалды. Бұл сенің өмірің емес сияқты сезімдесіз. Бірақ досатарың бар ғой. Еңсенің түсуіне көп себептер бар. Сіз оған ата-анаңызды кінәлайсыз, балалық шағыңызды, өзіңді, бағаларыңды. Бұрын биікте болатынсың. Қазір қиын.
Сіздің терапияңыз басталды. Жаңа дүниелерді жақсы көресіз. Терапия сізді Астанада кинодан көрген бай адамдарша сезіндіреді. Сіз когнитивті-әрекетті терапиямен танысасыз. Өзіңізбен болған үш жағдайды күнделікке жазып отрасыз.Бейтаныс адамға өзіңіз жайлы,ата-анаңыз, балалық шағыңыз жайлы әңгімелейсіз. Техникалық тұрғыдан,бұл доктор. Мұны әуелі құпияда ұстайсыз? Қолдаушыларыңыз бар. Бес сеанстан кейін өзіңізді жақсы сезінесіз. Сабақтар да сізге ұнай бастады. Қысқы семестрді жақсы аяқтағаныңызға өзіңіз де таңқаласыз.Көктемгі каникулда Колумбияға кеттіңіз,сізге Габриэль Гарсиа Маркестің романдары ұнайды. Саяхатқа бұдан бұлай жалғыз бармайтыныңызға сенімдісіз.
Көктемгі семестр квалификациалық емтиханға дайындықтан басталды.. Бұл маңызды емтихан. Оны тапсыра алмасаң Философия Докторы атаңы сен үшін жоқ. Дайындық аз екеніне қынжыласыз, ерте жатып қалатыныңызға ызаланасыз. Сонымен қатар жаздағы жұмысты ойлайсыз. Ата-анама барып солармен бірге болуым керек деп те ойлайсыз. Жасыңыз 23те! 23 жаста кім ата-анасымен отырады? Ешкім! Стэнфорд барлық проблемаңызды шеше ме? Жоқ. Менің тіршілігім осыған мысал.
6 тестың екеуін тапсыра алмадыңыз. Ол да жаман емес, қыркүйекте тапсырамын деп ойлайсыз. 9 айдың қорытындысы: депрессияға ұшырадыңыз, сәтсіздік болды,стажировканы өте алмадыңыз, емтиханды толық тапсыра алмадыңыз. Оқуды тастаймын деген ой келді.
Әбден қынжылғанда өзіңізбен ақылдасасыз. Құдай бар болса, сол сені қолдамай ма. Ол саған жазғы уақытқа жұмыс ұсынады, жақсы жобаны тапсырады. Бұл жобамен жұмыс жасап жақсы нәтиже көрсетесіз. Сіз білетініңізге сенімдісіз. Бұл тексеріс сізге керек болды.Сіз ойладыңыз ба осы жұмысты сызықты алгебрадан Гонконгте өткен үлкен конференцияда көрсетемін деп? Қыкүйекте сіз тағыда ұтыласыз. Бұл басқа әңгіме.

Қиындығы да қызығы да мол Химия Әлеміне саяхат Назарбаев Университетінен басталды. Есіме бірден доктор Каррмен бірге алғашқы зерттеулерімді жүргізген синтетикалық лабароратория мен ЯМР бөлмесі түседі. Бұл ең үздік химия факультеті болатын. Профессор өте қатал және әділ болды.
Химияға деген құштарлығым мені Бирмингем Университетінің магистратурасына әкелді.
Мен органикалық химия зерттеулеріне қатысқым келді. «Тотальды синтез», жобасын өзім таңдадым. Жыл бойы магистратурада онкологиялық ауруға қарсы белсенділігі бар теңіздік табиғи өсім диоксетан синтезімен жұмыс істедім.
Зерттеу бағдарламамды мерзімінен бұрын аяұтадым. Үйге оралғанда мен өз өмірімді химиясыз және зерттеулерсіз елестете алмадым.
Қазір мен Ливерпуль Университетінде механохимия бойынша Докторлық диссертацияны қорғаудамын.Біздің зерттеулеріміз алуан саланы қамтиды — органикалық, физикалық, есептеу, полимерлік и механикалық химия. Бұл ғажап тәжірибе. Өз еріктігің бар, даму мүмкүншілігің бар! Мен барша адамзатқа көмектесе аламын деген ой бойлайды .
Осынау қызықты, кең жолды маған ашқан әрине Назарбаев Университеті. Сол НУ — дағы қатаң талап мені әбден ширатты, нәтижеге жеткізді.
Философия Докторының бағдарламасы зерттеулер және ғылым туралы ғана емес, ол әлеуметтік, зерттеушілік және тәлімгерлік салаларды қамтиды,
Қазір мен осы үш саланы да зерттеудемін. Біз АдильЖармуханбетов екеуміз Ұлыбританияда НУ бітірушілері үшін алғашқы шараларды ұйымдастырдық. Қазір мен осы жақта жылда өтетін зерттеу форумына қатысамын, бұл Қазақстаннан келген жас мамандарға керемет пайдалы болар еді. Қазір Казахстаннан келген студент докторанттарды жинап KazPh.D қауымдастығын құрдық. Оның жұмысы нәтижнлі болады деп сенмін.
Нағыз ғалым сәттілікке сеніп отыра бермеуі керек. Ол еңбекқор, талапты, ақылды креативті болуы керек. НУ дағы жылдар маған осының бәрін үйретті.Жұмысыңды жақсы көр. Адаммен тіл табыса біл.
Еркебулан Сапаров
Мен 23-темін, чепион болған Темір Майктен үлкенмін, McDonald’s-ты құрған Рэя Кроктан кішімін.Бірақ бұл маңызды емес.Маңызды нәрсе сенің кешеден бүгін сапалы өзгергенің, батылдылау, ақылдылау, тәртіптілеу болдың ба? Осал жерлеріңді білесің бе? Онда әліде өзіңді шират.
НУ бітіріп,көптеген компанияларды жұмыс тәжірибесін алғаннан кейін де мен қай саланы таңдарымды білмедім. Сол кезде менің досым Бейбарс жаңа жобамен жұмыс жасап жүрді:мектеп бітірушілерді НУ NUFYPET емтиханына дайындады. Осы жоба бізді көп қанаттандырды, жаңа тамаша идеяларға жеткізді.
Бұл жұмысты аяқтағаннан кейін біз Capstone жобасын игеріп жоғары білім алдық. Кейін тағыда бір мүмкүшілік пайда болды-Алматыда ТОО «ZerotoOneLabs» ұйымдастырған 10-күндік стартап-инкубатор. Мақсаты қатысушылармен мобильды қосымшаларды құрастыру және 50 мобильды қосымша жасау. Мен маркетолог болып қабылдандым.
Инкубатордың соңында 4 адам жасаған қосымша, жаңалық порталында жарық көрді. Сөйтіп «Жеті Ата» атты біздің мобильды қосымша в AppStore-та ең көп сұранысқа ие қосымша болды. Нені түсіндім? Ынтамен сүйсініп атқарған жұмыста әрқашан нәтиже бар.
1 айдан кейін мен PwC аудиторлық консалтингті фирмадан шақыру алып Астанаға келдім. PwC сату презентациясы бойынша маған көп тәжірибе берді, қаржы,нарықты зерттеуге мүмкүншілік берді. Excel-де практика алдым.Онлайн-білім и кәсіби менеджмент инженерлық мәселелерден қаржы саласына жақындауыма себеп болды. Мен интерннен кеңесшіге көтерілдім PwC мен үшін тұрақты, дұрыс жобаланған нәтижелі компания үлгісі болып қала берді.
«Мен өз орнымды таптым ба?» деген сұрақ туындады. Кейбір жағадйды өзгерту қажеттігін түсінім. Неге мен Big4 компаниясынан кеткім келді? Тәеукелге бара алмайтыным ба, жауапкершіліктің шектелуі ма. Бірақ менің PwC компаниясындағы 1 жылдық тәжірибем бар ғой.Тәртіп, еңбекқорлық, шешім қабылдау, қалайда мақсатқа жету емес, нәтиже беру. Мұның бәрі менде бар дүниелер.
Сонымен мен Қазақстандағы Aviata жылдық кірісі 40 миллион АҚШ доллар IT-компаниясында CBDO аспирантымын. «Электротехника и электроника» мамандығы бойынша диплом алған соң да мен көп нәрсені түсінбеймін. Жауабы бар: МаЮнь (Джек Ма) айтқан -20 жасыңнан бастап тәлімгердің соңынан ер. Тәлімгерліктіің маңызы зор.
Aviata – шағын компания: 70тен астам қызметкері бар, көшбасшылыққа бәсекелестік, жаңалық ортасы. Мен мұнда жұмыс істеймін: ішкі процестері жетілдіремін, бизнес-аналитикамен шұғылданамын, шаралар ұйымдастырамын, өнімдерді басқарумен шұғылданамын. Біз Scrum и Kanban сияқты икемді әдістемелермен жұмыс істейміз. Valley компаниясының стратегияларын жүзеге асырамыз.
«Қағаз самолеттер» деп аталатын менің жеке жедел хатыма қосылыңыз. Мен өз біліміммен, тәжірибеммен бөлісемін, кәсіпкерлік,өздігінен даму жайлы сіз үшін маңызды мағлұмат беремін. Менің сізге беретін13 кеңесім бар:
• Басқаны оқытып отырып өзің оқы,біліміңмен бөлісе отырып өзің біл.
• Жақсы әдеттеріңді жаман әдеттермен алмастырып отыр (Дағды күші , Чарльз Дюгиг)
• Өзіңізге сәйкес келмейтін жұмыс орнын тастаңыз.
• Сәтсіздікке шыда, болмай жатса төзе біл.
• Өзіңізден ақылдылау, батылдау адамдар ортасында бол.
• Көп оқыңыз, өте көп оқыңыз! (ген. директор жылына 60 кітап оқиды.)
• Мүмкүншілігіңізге қараңыз , жастығыңызды жақсылыққа ғана айырбастаңыз.
• Өзіңіздің кешегі күніңізбен бәсекеге түсіңіз.
• Дұрыс ынтымақ болу үшін басқа адамарды зерттеңіз
• Ынталандыратын нәрсе іздеу керек, өзіңізбен келісімде болыңыз.
• Өзңіздің кереқарыс кітапханаңызды жинаңыз (Қара Аққу, Нассиб Николас Талеб)
• Ойлаған нәрсеңізді айтыңыз. Өз пікіріңіз болсын.
• Таң шықпай ояныңыз.
Мадина Кабдуалиева
Мен Назарбаев Университетін в 2016 жылы Политология и Халықаралық қатынастар и Әлеуметтану саласының Бакалавры дрежесімен екінші мамандық ретінде аяқтадым.НУ-ң соңгы жылында Швейцарияның Женева қаласындағы халықаралық зерттеулер жоғарғы институтына (InstitutdeHautesétudesInternationalesetdudéveloppement) магистрлыққа өтініш бердім. 2018 ыжылғы класында Қазақстаннан жалғыз болдым және 1927 жылдан бері мұнда келген үшінші студент екенмін. Мен екі степендия алып отырдым. Екеуі де Швейцари мен Қазақстанның экономикалық тұрғыдан өте алшақтығының және де менің акдемиялық үлгеріміммен тәжірибемнің нәтижесінде алынып отырды. Стипендия бір жылдың көлемінде ғана төленеді, сосын қайтадан өтініш жазу қажет.Бұл Институт әкімшілігінің біздің қандай да нәтижеге жеткенімізді қадағалап отыруының салдарынан болады.
СНУ және аспирантура жайлы: бұл магистратура және докторантура бағдарламасымен оқитын студенттерге білім беретін ғылыми-зерттеу институты.Жылына бір кафедраға 35 студент қабылдайды.Институт халықаралық қатынастар саласында әлемдегі ең мықты оқу оындарынң қатарында. Әлемге әйгілі тұлғалар бітірген, БҰҰ-мен тығыз қарым-қатынастағы институт жоғары деңгейдегі бәсекелестікке лайық. Кофи Аннан, Леонид Гурвич и Мохамед Эль Барадейи, тағыда басқа Нобель лауреаттары осы мекемені бітірген. Бағдарлама шеңберінде үш вариант бар: ғаламдық, аймақтық интеграция, халықаралық қақтығыстарды зерттеу және ғаламдық денсаулық пен қоршаған орта.Мен экономика, бизнес, қаржы, сауданы зетрттейтін бірінші вариантын таңдадым. Қосымша мен соңғы семестрға дейін диссертацианы аяқтап, француз тілін C1 деңгейінде игеріп шығуым керек.
Қазір мен тәжірибе алмастыру семестр шеңберінде Сеулдегі халықаралық қатынастар жоғарғы мектебінде оқып жүрмін. Оңтүстік Кореяға келгеніме көп достарым таңғалып қарады. Мен мұнда Шығыс Азия экономикасына арналған диссертация жазу үшін келдім. SNU Азияның аса ірі және әлемнің ең мықты 30 университетінің қатарына енетін оқу орны. Бұл оқу орындарында тапсырыстар құрылымында, сабақ беріс тәсідерінде Ну –дан айтарлықтай айырмашылықтар бар. Әр түрлі оқу жүйелерінде дәріс алғаныма қуаныштымын. Бұл нағыз профессионалдарға тән құбылыс.
Шет елдегі өмір жайлы: әрине Женева мен Сеулдегі өмірдің Астанадан айырмашылығы көп. Женева өте тыныш қала, мұнда 170 000 халық бар. БҰҰ қала өмірінің ұйтқысы, күнделікті әр елдерден келген дипломаттарды көруге болады. Менің институтым БҰҰ ғимаратына қарсы тұр. Басқа қалалардай Женева ешқашан ығы-жығы болып жатпайды, адамдар жұмыстарынан ерте қайтады, демалыс күні ешкім жүмыс істемейді. Сеул, керісінше өте динамикалық, қозғалысы көп қала, Нью-Йорк сияқты. Азиялықтарға тән бизнес мәдениетін,олардың жұмысқа көз қарасын өте ұнатамын.Екі қалада өте әдемі, осы қалаларда өзімді шыңдап, көп нәрсені үйренгеніме(испан, француз тілдері, спорт) қуаныштымын. Сізде мен сияқты болсаңыз, қай қаланы таңдасам екен деген ойда болсаңыз, мен осы екі қаланы ұсынар едім.
Жоспарлар туралы: не құрым көп оқып, не құрым әлемді аралаған сайын со құрлым жоспарларды азайтамын.. Жасым 21-де, барды қанағат қылатын адаммын. Диплом алған соң өз еліме оралу арманым. Қазақстан экономикасына, қоғамға өз үлесімді молымен қосқым келеді. Мен НУ- дың басқада әр жылғы түлектерімен бірігіп осы алған мол біліміммен нақты бір позитивті өзгерістер жасай алатыныма сенімдімін.
Студенттерге кеңес : ақыл беру қиын, себебі әр адам – қайталанбас тұлға, ол өз бойындағы қасиеттеріне жүгіне отырып шешімге келеді. Дегенмен де – ең алдымен мақсатыңды анықтап алған жон. Көп іздену керек. Әр түрлі класс,әр түрлі бағыттарды қарау керек, өзіңе не ұнайды, не ұнамайды- осының бәрін анықтап алған жөн.
Тілдерді білген дұрыс. Шет тілдер курсына жазыл. Екінші курстан кейін барлық семестрлардан соң стажировкаға бар. Кез келген компаниямен мемлекеттік емес ұйымдармен байланысқа шығып стажировка іздеңіз. Қазақстанда жоғарыдағы мемлекеттермен салыстырғанда бәсекелестік өте төмен,сондықтан кез келген жағадйды тиымды пайдаланыңыз. Ешқандай жұмыстан бас тартпаңыз. Қандай да жағадайға дайын болығыз. Сізге аса күрделі тапсырма беруі мүмкін, немесе құжатты безендір деуі де мүмкін. Нақты өз ісіңізді тапқанша бәрін де өтесіз. Келешекке керек деп университеттердің тізімін жасап қойыңыз. GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT тестеріне дайындықты артқа қалдырмаңыз. Кейін қарбалас болмау үшін асықпай дайындалған дұрыс. Осы жұмыстардың арқасында сіз еңбек нарығына шығуға дайын боласыз. Өзіңді басқалармен салыстыра білу де керек нәрсе. Әрине мұның дұрыс та бұрыс та жағы бар. Дегенмен мақсатқа жететін өзіңіз. Сіз жеке дара тұлғасыз.
Мен студенттерге көмектесуге, олардың сұрақтарына жауап беруге дайынмын. Менімен байланысқа шығыңыз, қысылмаңыз. Сіз жассыз! Батыл болыңыз, осал жағыңызды білесіз, мықты жағыңызды дамытасыз.
Құрметпен, Мадина.

It was in June 2015 that the University held its first Graduation Ceremony and on October 29, 2016, the 1st Alumni Reunion took place in the new University building in Astana. More than 300 alumni and guests from different cities of Kazakhstan and abroad attended the Reunion. Alumni got an opportunity to meet their classmates and the Faculty in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The aim of the Reunion was to unite the two cohorts of graduates from Class 2015 and 2016, to develop and strengthen professional networks between NU graduates and to create a new tradition at the University.
Alumni Reunion started with a warm welcome from University leadership; our alumni and guests learned more about NU Alumni Association and listened to the performances of NU Orchestra and alumni. The second part of the Reunion was called LEADERS talks, where some of our alumni and special guests shared their success stories and experience. A number of alumni work and study abroad, so they could not participate at the Reunion, but they sent videos with their wishes and congratulations, which were shown at the Reunion. There was also live streaming available on Periscope.
Right after the Reunion, there was an evaluation survey, where alumni could leave their comments and suggestions. 85% of the respondents highly evaluated the Reunion with scores from 3 to 5 out of 5 according to the scale. Moreover, the event inspired 85% of graduates to take part in future events. And it is worth pointing out that 70% of respondents expressed willingness to help plan future NU Alumni events.
В июне 2015 года в Университете состоялась первая церемония вручения дипломов, а 29 октября 2016 года в новом здании Университета в Астане состоялась 1-я встреча выпускников. Во встрече приняли участие более 300 выпускников и гостей из разных городов Казахстана и зарубежья. Выпускники получили возможность встретиться со своими одноклассниками и преподавателями в теплой и дружеской обстановке.
Целью Встречи было объединение двух когорт выпускников классов 2015 и 2016 годов, развитие и укрепление профессиональных связей между выпускниками НУ, а также создание новой традиции в университете.
Мероприятие началось с теплого приема со стороны руководства университета; наши выпускники и гости узнали больше об Ассоциации выпускников NU и прослушали выступления оркестра и выпускников NU. Вторая часть Встречи называлась ЛИДЕРСКИМИ беседами, где некоторые из наших выпускников и специальных гостей поделились своими историями успеха и опытом. Ряд выпускников работают и учатся за границей, поэтому они не могли участвовать, но они прислали видео со своими пожеланиями и поздравлениями, которые были показаны там же, на торжественном вечере.
Сразу после мероприятия был проведен оценочный опрос, где выпускники могли оставлять свои комментарии и предложения. 85% респондентов высоко оценили прошедшее мероприятие с оценками от 3 до 5 по пятибалльной шкале. Кроме того, мероприятие вдохновило 85% выпускников принять участие в будущих мероприятиях. И стоит отметить, что 70% респондентов выразили готовность помочь в планировании будущих мероприятий выпускников НУ.
2015 жылдың маусымында Университетте диплом тапсырудың алғашқы рәсімі өтті. 2016 жылдың қазанында Университеттің жаңа ғимаратында алғашқы кездесу өтті. Салтанатты кешке әр қаладан әр елден 300 жуық бітірушілер жиналды.
Екі жылдың бітірушілері кездесіп, жас мамандар ретінде өте қажет ақпарат алмасып, бітірушілердің арасында әрдайым байланыс болу керегін атап айтты.
Шара университет басшылығының жылы қабылдауынан басталды.НУ студенттерінің Қауымдастығы жұмысы жайлы әңгімеленді,кейін оркестрдің концертін тамашалап пікір алмасу өтті. Мерекенің екінші бөлімі КӨШБАСШЫЛЫҚ деп аталды, мұнда бітірушілер өз өмірлерінен қызықты оқиғалар айтып тәжірибелерімен бөлісті. Бұл кезесуге қатыса алмаған, шет елде жүрген студенттер видео роликтер жіберң, құттықтаулар айтты.
Соңында қатысушыларға өткізілген шараны бағалау мақсатымен баллдық шкала бойынша сауалнама жұргізілді. Респонденттердің 85% шараға жоғары баға берді. Сонымен қатар келешекте осы шараларға қатысамын деген ойды бітірушілердің 85% білдірді.Респонденттердің 70%
осы шараның жоспарын жасап өткіземіз деген ой білдірді.

Ayan Birimzhan
NU alumnus 2016
Ayan Birimzhan is an alumnus of Nazarbayev University School of Sciences and Humanities, cofounder of the healthy food service “HEALTH PROJECT”, entrepreneur, a 25 year old charismatic, extremely fit young man, responsible son, caring brother and an eligible bachelor.
Today’s startup “HEALTH PROJECT” is a chain of healthy food canteens with $1 million turnover per year, a team with 55 employees, and thousands of thankful clients.
Currently, Anel is doing Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA. While at NU she was active in many clubs, she was a broadcaster for NU perceptions Radio, a member of THEМЫ student club, ex-president of NU Ballroom Dance Club, the winner of Yessenov Foundation summer internship programs and was recognized as the Freshman of the Year 2016.
What did you get from studying at NU? Strong science and engineering foundation.
I remember Dr. Pugh saying something like... that we might not remember the exact knowledge that we acquired from the classes, but we will for sure learn the skills (writing, presenting, analyzing, thinking critically etc.). That is indeed true. In my further graduate studies and job assessments, I used exactly those skills and I have been using them in everyday life. I think this is a great take away from NU.
What lessons have you learned?
One of the major lessons of my journey at NU is to take things easier. Before coming to NU, I used to be very scrupulous at many things, but my roommates and some few friends that I got at NU exemplified for me that "take it easy" approach indeed make things easier at performing. So it is just a matter of your attitude that makes you stressed over the tasks or vice versa makes you just "do the work".
What was/is the most challenging in your life after NU?
After I graduated from NU, and after my graduate study in France, due to personal circumstances I moved to a small city in Kazakhstan. This is now the time that I think is the most challenging - a time where my qualifications are not taken into account while I am applying to few available jobs. Being undervalued is at its truth is a personal challenge. Nevertheless, I hope everything gets well and this period is just a temporary one.
How did you get to where you are now?
It has not been easy. The journey required me to be strong enough to face intellectual, personal and social challenges. At that time, I was just lucky enough, but I needed to work hard to achieve the result. Nevertheless, I am very glad that it is going just the way it is.
What are you most proud of?
I am proud of my mom. She is indeed strong woman.
What drives you?
I guess achieving the result; the final product has been driving me at different stages and aims of my life. This is as if you spend difficult time at finding the solution for a math problem for many hours, and at the end when you get to the tangent result, you feel proud of yourself and satisfied.
How do you balance work and life?
I have not started to work yet, but I will try to allocate a decent time for my family and personal development.
If you could choose another profession, what would it be?
I have always wanted to be somewhere in STEM, but the life has different plan for me I guess 🙂
Where do you hope to be in 10 years’ time?
All I want to be just happy and feel the personal fulfillment. Circumstances are very amorphous.
Your three goals for 2019 are:
1 goal Find a decent job
2 goal Help my family to pay its debt
3 goal
Start some sports on a regular basis
Is there anything you wish you had done differently during your time as a student?
I wish I have had socialized more with the other students. I mean, I wish I have had been a dedicated and an active member of some student club, for example. Because now, turning back, I see that I have not made many friends at NU and maybe that was putting additional psychological stress. I guess I have just one close friend from NU 🙂
What are your favorite memories of life at NU?
Probably that is meeting different interesting people. Even if I didn't make close friends, nevertheless, I had a big pool of different acquaintances with whom I used to have lots of chats on absolutely different topics. Secondly, I indeed have warm memories of being student of Dr Alexander Morrison, Dr Beatrice Penati, and Dr Gabriel McGuire. They were not only teaching their subject, but they were very warm-hearted listeners and mentors, from whom I could feel free to ask personal advice.
What advice would you give to new NU graduates?
Flexibility and adaptability in any life circumstances.
Nurzhan Uapov

To realize that I am a grown-up now.
How did you get to where you are now?
Tried to avoid comfort zone. All progress takes place outside the comfort zone. At the same time, you have to make sure that whatever you do, it makes you happy.
What are you most proud of?
Proud that my siblings call me the best brother)).
What drives you?
Family and personal goals.
How do you balance work and life?
I think it is about discipline and time management. I always try to finish my work earlier than I supposed, so that I will have more time for my family, friends, hobbies and fun.
If you could choose another profession, what would it be?
Actor. Maybe someday Christopher Nolan will offer me this chance) but now I do it just for fun and sometimes play at Community Theater.
Where do you hope to be in 10 years’ time?
Actually, I do not have a 10-year plan. I try to take it day by day and say yes to interesting opportunities. In 10 years' time, I hope to be happy and healthy surrounded by loved ones.
Your three goals for 2019 are:
1 goal Spend more quality time with family
2 goal Prove myself worthy at my new job
3 goal
Crack GMAT
Is there anything you wish you had done differently during your time as a student?
Everything I did was for the best. I would not change anything. Everything I did back then led me to this point. I am ok with my life right now and, hopefully, have a lifetime to try things I wanted but never did.
What are your favorite memories of life at NU?
1) Passing that Econometrics II course. Otherwise, I would have studied one more year
2) Poker nights with guys
3) Carefree days
What advice would you give to new NU graduates?
You have a lot of spare time. Try to spend it on things that you have always wanted.
Aidana Kassymova
NU alumnus of 2015.
Currently, I'm working as a Supervising Senior auditor in KPMG Lower Gulf Limited in Dubai office, UAE.
I have just joined KPMG Dubai in November 2018. Before that, I was working in KPMG Audit LLC in Astana office, Kazakhstan.
My 3-year journey in KPMG Kazakhstan has helped me to achieve great experience in understanding of the business environment in Kazakhstan and gain much work experience in audit.
My first acquaintance with KPMG was during the Audit week that the firm launched back in my senior year at university. I was excited that the firm provides on-the-job training, business trips, opportunities to the annual promotion, and young and ambitious staff. During that week we’ve met with the company’s management, solved business cases and that helped us to gain some understanding of the Big 4 companies life. After the week-long event, we had an opportunity to obtain job offer through test and interview. Unfortunately, I failed the interview part and didn’t take the job offer. The reason for that fail I think was on my uncertainty to work in audit – I was dreaming of working in international institutions such as the World Bank or the United Nations. Nevertheless, when I started searching for a job closer to graduation date, I made a list of criteria of where I want to work – that should have been an international firm with young and friendly staff, business trip opportunities, learning and development opportunities, and opportunities to work in different industries. All these criteria matched my expectations from audit work.
An important point of this experience is that my expectations were matched with the reality when I started working in KPMG in September 2015.
I was able to work in a lively atmosphere with many challenges and that helped to learn a lot in a limited period of time.
As a result of two years at KPMG, I get double promoted and worked as a supervising auditor for the third year in the firm.
Becoming the senior auditor helps to find a job in the international market, so I applied and received an offer from KPMG Dubai office in late 2018.
What did you get from studying at NU
For me, the most important thing I get from studying at NU is the ability to keep conversations with people around me on different topics from politics and economics to technology and engineering.
The university gave me a broad knowledge in different areas and showed me the importance of critical assessment of any information we obtain.
What was/is the most challenging in your life after NU
Since I have studied economics and international relations at NU, I faced challenges while preparing for exams to obtain ACCA qualification.
The exams require knowledge in accounting and finance that were not familiar to me.
So the challenging part for me was failing exams several times and I have almost given up to go on with ACCA qualification.
But through the motivation, I get from my friends and family and incredible desire to open new opportunities for myself, I have achieved this qualification just recently and become a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
This lesson helped to understand once again that everything is possible when you have an overwhelming desire and a bit of patience and persistence.
What drives you
I have my own plans and objectives for the short term and long term. This is what drives me to achieve my current goals.
Also, I have much support from my family and close friends to move forward and see the world.
Obviously, I also have times of sadness and lack of motivation. At that times I try to treat myself with things I like - sweets, watching videos, listening to music, talking to my friends.
How do you balance work and life
Firstly, I would say that it is every person's choice to have a balance in work and life or not.
If in that particular period of your life you want to focus on career and put work in the first place, it's totally fine.
Currently, I have managed to keep my work-life balance. I think the key is to be more productive during work hours so that you can forget the work after you are back home.
If you could choose another profession, what would it be
I think I would have chosen Computer Science or Robotics. To my mind, this profession gives you an enormous free zone for creativity.
Alternatively, I would have chosen arts - music composition and songwriting.
What are your favorite memories of life at NU
There are many good memories I have from our university life - starting from foundation year when only ID 2010 was at university and on campus.
I remember and miss our cozy evenings with tea and coffee in our new dormitory and special 00-00 happy birthday songs almost every day on campus.
But my favorite moment that I remember in details is when we raised our graduation hats on the ceremony in June 2015. I felt so happy!
What advice would you give to new NU graduates
There are a lot of opportunities now to fresh graduates in Kazakhstan or anywhere in the world.
But the hardest thing for you would be to make a choice.
I would say do not be afraid to make this choice.
But if you are still in doubt, I read a perfect quote recently in Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean in" book: "There is no perfect fit when you're looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around."
In short, just make a choice and then work on it to make it the best one.

Tazhi Kulzhan
Hi, My name is Tazhi Kulzhan’15 and I am a Rotating equipment engineer (Machinery, whichever way you want to call it) at North Caspian Operating Company
(I hope you heard about Kashagan project) and I would like to share some ideas and thoughts from my personal experience.
I hope they would help you to make your future choices. I graduated from the University in 2010 as a Mechanical Engineer, so this overview will be from an engineer position.
First of all, Internships did help me to find my first job; so, it is a very effective tool to identify which industry you would like to work in. In total, I did 5 internships during my university years:
Tulpar-Talgo engineering department (Talgo manufacturing plant in Astana).
This internship helped me to understand that the automotive industry of Kazakhstan still requires significant development and I decided to try something else where I can develop faster;
AgipKCO in reliability department (former operator of Kashagan);
Internship in AgipKCO helped me to explore oil and gas industry, international standards, multinational environment, importance of HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) aspects, as well as how people are treated in international companies and, after that, I decided to try myself in oil and gas. Interestingly, I found the sizes and complexity of Bolashak process operating facility quite impressive.
Robotics lab internship (because I was always interested in Robotics projects);
Shell Kazakhstan Development - SKD (responsible for the share in Kashagan project);
AgipKCO in Static Mechanical Maintenance Engineering.
The second internship in AgipKCO was more conscious in terms of activity/discipline choice, much more technical and oriented at getting a job in the company. I have spent one month working on the project of planning pressurized bottles storage at an offshore island. Project implied consideration of safety, feasibility and cost aspects and development of proposals with different options as well as their evaluation and final recommendation. I really enjoyed doing this internship, and I was grateful for the fact that I was doing a project of a senior engineer level. This internship helped me to get a job offer after my graduation.
It has been 2 years since my employment and I can say that the exposure to a variety of problems - is the most amazing part of my job. It sounds strange that problems can be amazing, but maybe this is what makes engineers different from other professions. Currently, I am a Focal point for Offshore rotating equipment, looking after the highest pressure sour gas injection compressors in the world, working closely with co-venture partner experts, getting a lot of commissioning experience, frequent flights to offshore islands. In the end, it is all about being in the right place at the right time and it is the start-up of a huge project, which is not so frequent now in this industry.
There are certain things that I really like about international oil and gas companies in Kazakhstan – high Safety standards, working culture, reasonably good salary and good opportunities to develop.
Safety is really one of the priorities and I can feel it every time I come to the site. All the international oil and gas companies have quite a strong safety culture because their reputation on the market can be affected by any of the incidents. Every site management decision is done with the care of people working there.
Talking about work culture, it is quite friendly and informal. At the same time, it can be very challenging and stressful when production is at stake, which is normal for all operating companies.
With regards to the salaries, such companies as TCO, KPO, and NCOC do provide a good social package (gym fee, medical insurance, kinder garden, school allowances and etc.) and reasonably high salary, which is above than average in Astana or Almaty.
If taking into an account a Professional development, I would say that this industry is probably one of the fastest ways to learn about the existing technology in the related disciplines and its application in the industry, which I felt was lacking during some of NU courses. Despite these are not really state of the art technologies, it can be a good foundation for future development. Moreover, I developed a lot in interpersonal skills as well working with different people from different cultures, backgrounds, and experience.
Even though I was asked to write about the industry as a whole, I would like to differentiate between international oil and gas companies or their joint ventures and national or local companies, because I know that these two environments are quite different and I don’t know much about the second one.
However, there is always another side of a coin.
There are certain things that are more on the negative side, in my opinion, like high HSE risks, not the best location of a business, current industry crisis, lack of science and technology in the problem-solving approach.
- First of all, Oil and gas industry, especially in Kazakhstan, especially these 3 major projects, does imply very high risks during operation. Sour gas, high pressure (650 bar at the surface), high temperature, chemicals and acids, flammable gases, all these hazards make this business very risky from health, safety and environment point of view. Despite it does add some romantics into this industry, everyone wants to return home healthy.
- Secondly, most of the time oil and gas companies are located not in the best cities. It is not the exception for Kazakhstan either, because the industry is concentrated on the western part of Kazakhstan and cities like Atyrau and Aktau are generally considered as less attractive for living than Almaty or Astana. There may be several reasons for such a trend like lower leisure opportunities, less developed infrastructure, harsher weather conditions and etc. So ask yourself whether you are ready to sacrifice metropolis comfort for a faster experience and better financial conditions instead?! This trend also in some way resulted from the current oil price crisis.
- Thirdly, the current crisis does make oil and gas industry less interesting to an employee by forcing companies to perform cost cuts and business optimizations. It is more of a comparison question with the times when oil price was greater than 100$ per barrel. As a result, there are less financial rewards, fewer pieces of training provided, the same amount of work distributed among fewer people, almost no new projects going on in the world. Moreover, it has also affected the way that companies try to approach problems.
- Finally, the industry is very conservative and does not require a lot of scientific skills and knowledge in problem-solving, which makes it even less interesting from the engineering point of view. This point may be more relevant for NU students in Kazakhstan, because we were taught to be engineering scientists, but not really technicians. However, the industry does dictate a very practical approach that is based most of the time on previous experience and proven technology. You will not feel that you are pushing the boundaries of the science further away from working in the industry because the main focus is to always have stable production. You rarely will see hi-tech products on the project, because they are not proven. Calculations are not something that frequently used here, but the rule of thumbs, standards, and experience. Specifically, for mechanical engineers, it will require a lot of work involving spare parts, which is not the best part of my job. Vendors do design and develop their equipment, while we need to understand the main features, reasoning behind design without going into very small details. Sometimes it may require more project management skills than actual engineering since multiple disciplines are involved. You will hear saying “it is not rocket science” quite frequently and it is true.
So, if you feel that you want to develop something completely new, then I would really recommend options closer to science or academia. Industry experience still may be very useful in order to understand the reality of engineering to avoid unrealistic design proposals. However, if you want to use all your brain potential, develop something completely new and you think that you may be pushing boundaries of science and technology, then I would recommend you doing a Postgraduate degree (Masters or Ph.D.) or join R&D companies, which are not located in Kazakhstan.
To finalize, I would like to share interesting facts from my working experience:
NU is already considered as a fabric for high potential local employees in NCOC and TCO (as far as I am aware of TCO, they do employ a lot of NU grads).
Toxic alarm at the site, every alarm is really a small interesting story. Having a breathing apparatus on, walking to the safe area, understanding that there may be a fatal toxic gas outside of your mask do bring very special feeling of profession importance.
I would say that NU students are smart enough to easily become high performers in the oil and gas industry. When I just joined NCOC, I had an impression that all the expats are very smart people and super engineers; however, I do realize now that it is not always the case, but just a matter of years of experience. So, recalling my fellow students NU, I would say that industry work will not be a problem.
I wish you all the best in your beginnings, do the right choices, follow your heart and don’t mind my bad writing. Hopefully, my message will be helpful.
You think you will be happy when you graduate from college, when you get high GPA, when you travel abroad, when you have money when you move the US. Are you happy now?
So, you end up living in Palo Alto. It is a typical American suburbia (Well, perhaps, far more expensive than those in the Midwest). Of course, you had other options; you applied to over a dozen grad schools around the globe. However, when you heard back from "The" Stanford, you dropped all the other schools, because, well, A) it's Stanford, B) you are damn elitist and C) your dream advisor works here. Whom are you kidding? The latter did not matter (refer to B, then to A), but you are dumb enough to realize that it is the only thing that actually matters.You arrive here, full of hopes and dreams. The weather is perfect. Not too hot, not too humid. One-step away from heaven. Orientation week. You start making friends. There is a group of Chinese, the French and the rest. You walk through the Quad and tourists ask you in Chinese, and you are outraged. How dare you speak to me in Chinese? You are clearly an Asian, but speak some combo of Russian and ... er, Kazakh? But then you caught yourself thinking: since I'm a mathematician, probabilistically speaking, they may think that I speak some East Asian language.
Days past, the quarter starts. You are overwhelmed by the replacement test/homework for linear algebra. You think, what did I just sign up for? Can I go back? Definitely not. Wasn't this your dream? The miserable life of a graduate student starts. While the weather outside is begging you to bike around or play volleyball, you are drowning in homework sets and debugging your shitty code. The thing or two you have learned in college are not enough to keep you afloat. You think, this is Stanford, and then the teaching must be great. Ha-ha, nope. Not here. This place is where over 1,000 students can take the same class at the same time with you. So be quiet.
Not everything is that miserable. You go out. You meet people. You actually manage to make friends. Really good friends. Friends from your program. They are also suffering, so you guys bond over your mutual misery - homework and exams. You have lunch with them, talk about politics. Folks, this is November 2016 and you live in the States. Every lunch conversation ends up with that Cheeto In Chief and his actions. Every day is a new low for him. Then the day comes. Of course, you are a die-hard progressive who supports everything socially liberal. You are not truly "with her", but she is way, way, way better than the 45th. Enough with politics. You came here to do math. Or that’s what you keep telling yourself.
Quarter ends. You feel like you've just survived the war and the first thing you do is to hit the sack. You don't care about your best friends from college, who are visiting from other American suburbia. When you tell your friends you live in Stanford, they automatically assume you live in San Francisco. Then they show up and they see a dead campus of Stanford. What a disappointment. You feel lonely and miserable every day. You literally hit the rock bottom of the depression, when you haven't eaten for two days. You can’t focus on anything. You stopped watching Netflix, you stopped messaging your parents, your friends. You stopped living your life. You just exist. But you have good friends. So they suggest you see a shrink. You realize if you wanna make it here, you probably need to see a therapist. There are many reasons for being down. You blame your parents, your childhood, yourself, duh, and your grades. You used to be on top of everything. Now, you are not.
Your therapy starts. You like to experience new things. Therapy makes you feel like a wealthy person from those movies you have watched back in Astana. You learn about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You make a daily list of three good things that happened to you. You talk about your childhood, your parents, your classes, your love life to a stranger. Well, technically, your doctor. In the beginning, you keep this in secret, because you know it’s a shame, right? Then realize, it is not a problem. Your classmates think you are brave to reach out for help. No judgment. You are truly supported. Just after five sessions, you start feeling better. You start enjoying classes for the first time since your arrival. Winter quarters end well, to your utter surprise. Then you travel to Colombia for a spring break, because you loved Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novels. You’ve read all of them. You travel to Cartagena. ALONE. You decide this is going to be your last travel alone.
Spring quarter starts with preparations for qualifying exams. This is the important exam of your life. If you don’t pass, no PhD for you. You start preparing for them. You start blaming yourself for not working hard enough. You hate yourself for not staying up late to do that stochastics problem set. At the same time, you are trying to find an internship for the summer. You think, I have to go back and stay with my parents, and you are 23! Who stays with his/her parents when he/she is 23? No one! Guess what, you’ve got only one interview out of ten and you didn’t get it. And everybody keeps telling that Stanford on your resume will solve all the problems. Well, it didn’t. I’m a living example of this.
You fail 2 of 6 quals. You think not bad, because you can retake two in September. To summarize the last 9 months: you were depressed, you failed, you didn’t get an internship, you didn’t pass all of your quals. You even consider dropping out, go back and teach something.
Out of desperation, you talk to your prospective advisor and tell him your situation. If God exists, then he is your Lord, Divine Being. He offers you a summer position, pays well and assigns a project. You work on that project and get results. You think, you know something. And you know what, you actually do know something! You needed this validation, a validation from a person you admire. You haven’t even anticipated that you will be presenting this work in Hong Kong, the highest conference in applied linear algebra. The biggest irony is you are going to fail this qual all over again in September. But that’s another story.

Aliya Sembayeva
Nazarbayev University was a starting point of my journey into Chemistry World, which is full of challenges and awards at the same time.
My memories of NU are strongly connected with a synthetic lab and NMR room, where I spent most of my time doing my first research projects with Dr.Carr, who created the best Chemistry Department for us. When I think of NU, the first person who comes to my mind is Dr.Carr, who was very strict but at the same time extremely fair professor, who is very supportive and ready to give advice even after our graduation.
I have always loved Chemistry and doing research work during my undergraduate time at NU allowed me to further apply to MSc by Research degree at one of the Russel Group Universities, the University of Birmingham.
I definitely wanted to be involved in pure organic chemistry research and the perfect project to show myself as an organic chemist was to choose total synthesis, which is not usually chosen voluntarily. During my Master’s year, I worked on the synthesis of a marine natural product, dioxetane, which has promising antitumor activity.
I had finished my research program one year earlier than expected. When I came back home, I started to miss lab and research a lot. So I was confident that I am ready to start my Ph.D. and that I cannot imagine my life without Chemistry and Research.
Currently, I am doing Ph.D. at the University of Liverpool in the area of mechanochemistry on a tuition-waiver based program, where we synthesize and study our systems from a physical perspective. Our research group is diverse, and projects include the organic, physical, computational, polymer and mechanical areas of Chemistry. It is such a unique experience when you have all the opportunities to develop yourself as a researcher, to find out new things and to have the freedom to pursue new areas and to have this feeling that we might help the human condition.
My story is still continuing, but I strongly feel that being one of the graduates of Nazarbayev University opened me a wide window of opportunities for my future path. After my graduation, I definitely feel that all this pressure put by Chemistry professors developed a strong immune system towards the challenges of Chemistry World.
Personally, the Ph.D. program is not only about science and research, but also about balancing social, research and mentoring activities.
Currently, I am involved in and learning to balance my research work, social and mentoring activities. Me and Adil Zharmukhanbetov organized the first events of the NU Alumni Chapter in the UK and currently involved in the organization of annual research forum in the UK, which could serve as a platform for young scholars from Kazakhstan to discuss preliminary findings and have strong collaboration with UK Universities. Currently, I also gathered Ph.D. students from Kazakhstan and we created Kaz Ph.D. association in the UK, which will functionalize after New Year 2018 as a mentoring program to help high school and undergraduate students.
In my opinion, a successful scientist cannot only rely on luck but needs to be hard-working, ambitious, smart and creative. Nazarbayev University taught me to work hard, not wait, embrace the challenges, move out of the comfort zone and look ahead! The main lessons I learned at NU are to be committed to your work, be open to learning new things, not ignore professors’ requests/suggestions and build trustful relationships with people you love and respect.
Yerkebulan Saparov
I am 23, older than Iron Mike when he became the world champion, younger than Ray Kroc when he founded McDonald’s. Still, it does not matter; the only thing that matters is you being better than you yesterday.
Do you miss the time when you were bolder, smarter, more disciplined and confident? If yes, I should congratulate you, you are one step closer to be a better self-today, since you are starting to admit your weaknesses and now you have one more reason to work harder.
When I was at my senior year at Nazarbayev University, I suddenly came up with the idea that even though I have passed 7 different internships (Samruk-Energy business transformation team, KazGaryshSapary national space center, Altel, Mazhilis House of Parliament of RoK, NurOtan party, Samruk-Energy corporate governance, Institute of Energy named after Chokin), I still lack confidence of where am I willing to work. This is when I and my friend Beibarys started our business project: preparation of high school students to enter Nazarbayev University and pass NUFYPET (previously SET) exam. This was a great experience when we understood that we are capable of doing more than what is already built, we can build something from nothing. This feeling is accompanying every decision we have made since then.
After successfully finishing our project, we moved on to our final year capstone project and graduated after all. While I was in the middle of the final semester comes the next opportunity: 10-week startup incubator organized by Zero to One Labs LLP in Almaty aimed to teach participants mobile apps development and build 50 mobile apps. I did apply and was accepted as a marketer. At the end of the incubator, our app made by 4 people was published at popular news portals for free, such as Tengrinews and NurKz, and allowed our 'Zheti Ata' mobile app become the most downloaded app at AppStore for one week with overall 15,000 people installing it. I felt like if you do something that you love, you would be rewarded in return.
1 month passed and I was able to receive a job offer from top-tier audit/consulting firm PwC and returned to Astana to do management consulting. PwC gave me a great experience of making selling presentations, advanced operation in Excel, practicing Finance and Market Study. Even though I had no Finance background, online education and qualified management made a smooth transition from purely engineering problems to financial. I was promoted from intern to consultant in 3 months, instead of six, and from consultant C1 to consultant C2 in 5 months, following my negotiations with my manager and director, hard work, and Victor Cheng's audio lectures. PwC becomes an example of how a well-designed and stable company should work.
After some time passed at PwC I started questioning myself: "Am I really where I should be at this time?” When the answer becomes more and more uncertain, I realized that some things need to be changed. Why was I willing to quit Big4 firm? Inability to take risks, a small range of responsibility and simply not the best fit for someone who is more “zero to one”, rather than “one to infinity”. However, there was a reason for me to spend almost a year at PwC. I did learn to be structured, disciplined, hardworking and use the top-down approach in solving problems and rarely boil the ocean to get to the point.
So, here I am now, Assistant to CBDO at Aviata.kz, 4-year old IT company with $40 million annual revenue with the ambitions to become an international company founded in Kazakhstan with no external support. Graduating with a diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering makes little sense of why am I working at this position. The answer is simple: Ma Yun (Jack Ma). He once told that we should find and follow our mentor from at our 20s. The thing is - the right mentor, in the right industry, at the right time makes a huge difference.
Aviata is a small company: 70+ employees, constantly changing processes, broad-minded leadership, and a startup environment.

Join my personal telegram channel called 'paperAirplanes' where I share my experience, knowledge, and finding of business, entrepreneurship, and self-development. In the end, I want to tell you 13 ideas, you can stick to them or not, the choice is yours:
Learn as you teach others, gain knowledge as you share them (see 'protégé effect')
Interchange bad habits with good ones (The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg)
Leave the workplaces that do not fit you
Fail early, fail fast, fail often, and become ok with rejections
Surround yourself with like-minded people that are smarter, better, and bolder than you
Read, read more than ever (CEO reads 60 books/year on average)
Exchange your youth for better things, time is money, include opportunity costs
Compete with yourself yesterday
Learn how people think and act, find the right approach with each person to cooperate better
Look for drives and motivations that fits you the best, make deals with your ego

About my acceptance to graduate school: I graduated from Nazarbayev University in 2016, with BA in Political Science and International Relations, and Sociology as the second major.
In my last year at Nazarbayev University, I decided to apply for Master’s degree in International Affairs at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (French: Institut de hautes études internationales et du développement), Geneva, Switzerland. I was the only student from Kazakhstan in the cohort of class 2018, and the third student from our country that attended the Institute since 1927. I got two full scholarships, one from the Institute, and another one from Hans Wilsdorf Foundation (FYI: the latter is named after the founder of Rolex company founder, who decided to organize a fund that will help students from developing countries even after his death). Both scholarships were given on the basis of academic merit and my background: the difference in economic conditions of Switzerland and Kazakhstan are cosmic, which served as a good motivation to provide me with financial assistance. The scholarship is paid during one academic year, and before the beginning of the second year, students need to re-apply. This allows administration of the Institute to see whether a candidate has a good academic record and still needs a financial aid.
About Graduate Institute and SNU: Graduate Institute is a post-graduate research institute, which provides education only to students studying at MA and Ph.D. programs. Each year, around 35 students are accepted to each department, which makes our Institute quite small, even though Graduate Institute was founded almost one century ago. The Institute is considered as the best school in International Relations-related studies in Europe and stands among the best ones in the world. Due to the research institute organizational structure, you will not be able to find it in the official university ranking. However, its notable alumni and close cooperation with the UN and other world leading organizations serve as a vivid proof of its competitiveness. Ex-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan graduated from the Graduate Institute and is our frequent guest. Also, several Nobel Prize winners in Economics, such as Leonid Hurwicz and Mohamed ElBaradei. My program is multidisciplinary, meaning, it rests on several disciplines at the same time, the most important of which are international relations, economics, and international law. Within this program, three track options are available: global and regional integration, international conflict studies, and global health and the environment. I chose the first track, which focuses primarily on studying economics, business, finance, and trade. In addition to certain course requirements, I am expected to submit a thesis in my final semester and to reach C1 proficiency level in the French language.
Currently, I study at Graduate School of International Studies at Seoul National University, at my exchange semester. Many of my friends got confused when they found out that instead of returning to Switzerland, I made my way to South Korea. To clarify, I came here to write my thesis, which focuses on the East Asian economies. SNU is one of the biggest universities in Asia and stands in the world top-30 universities list. The educational system here is more relaxed than in Geneva, I would say. Also, teaching style and structure of assignments differ from Nazarbayev University, Graduate Institute or the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am happy that I have a chance to experience various educational systems, as it gives me a better grasp of how professionals in my field are trained in various countries.
About life abroad: life in Geneva and in Seoul is very different from the one in Astana. Geneva is very calm, and even though it’s the second largest city by population in Switzerland, there are only 170,000 residents. The UN is a focal point in the city life, and you can often see diplomats or other employees with blue badges hanging on their chests. My Institute is located right across the UN and has WHO office on another side, so you will barely feel lack of motivation here. Unlike other big European cities, Geneva is never overcrowded, people go home early, and almost no one works on Sundays. Seoul, in contrast, is very vibrant and dynamic. For me, it is like New York, but better. I sincerely adore Asian business culture and attitude towards their work. Regardless of the place, you normally enjoy high-quality services, and local students are surreal in how much time they spend at their universities or workplaces. Both cities are endowed with extremely beautiful nature, so I could not wish anything but spending two years in both of these places. If you are like me, and you also care about a city where you will study/work at, I strongly recommend considering these two locations. Also, both cities inspired me to try something new, whether it is Spanish or French classes or sports.
About future plans: The more I study and the more countries I visit, the fewer plans I am trying to make. Being a young woman in the 21st century opens multiple doors and opportunities every day, and I just try to get the best from every experience that I have. After completing my degree, I would like to come to Kazakhstan, as I always wanted to contribute to the economic, social and political growth of my country. I hope that with current credentials and knowledge I will be able to do something meaningful and induce positive changes in our society along with other alumni of Nazarbayev University.
Advice to students: It is difficult to give a very useful advice, as I believe that each person should find his/her own way depending on personal choices, values , nd background. In general, I think that freshmen should mainly concentrate on understanding what they like and what they don’t like. The first years at university are adopted for trying different classes and disciplines, so don’t miss the opportunity to take courses from multiple departments. Make an effort to prioritize the activities that make you happy and will be useful for you in the future. For example, if you like learning foreign languages, sign up for language classes, but think twice before you choose what language you want to learn and where you can use it aafterward Sophomores, start finding internships, not only during summer, but also during Fall and Spring semesters. Don’t be afraid of contacting big firms or NGOs and ask for a vacant place. The level of competition in Kazakhstan is very low, in comparison to Switzerland or South Korea, so use this situation wisely. Be prepared that barely anyone will assign you with completing sophisticated assignments and do not get disappointed if everything that you do is paper work. Every single experience, positive or negative, will help you to understand something about our labor market and corporate culture, so do not stop just because you had a boring job once: you may have ten tedious assignments before you will find what you need. Juniors, start making up a list of universities where you want to apply to or organizations to work at. Do not postpone preparation for GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT or any other test, as all of them require a lot of time and hard work. It is less stressful to spend one year in preparation learning 20 new words and solving 20 Math problems every day rather than trying to memorize dozens of words lists and practicing subject problem sets within one month. Seniors, just do not worry. Most of you have accumulated enough knowledge by this time to enter the labor market. Some of you will succeed right away, others will need a little bit more time to clean up their thoughts and find their “selves”. Comparing yourself to your fellows can be a good strategy that may motivate you to work harder, but it also can be a poisonous practice that will engender many negative feelings. Your personality is unique and you do not need to follow the common path to reach your goals.
I am always happy to help our students and to answer the questions they have, if only these are not questions about “how I got accepted to the university” J This question is impossible to answer, as only the admission committee knows the precise reasons. In any other case, feel free to contact me. Keep yourself safe, enjoy your youth, be brave to admit your weaknesses and focus on developing your strengths.

Nikolay Tyan represented KazDream Technology Company and spoke about the specific benefits of working at SMEs.
We held this session so that our young students would know about the benefits and advantages of working in the small and medium enterprises. We wanted to help them to realize that it is not always possible or even not always necessary to get a job or to work in large international organizations or corporate companies. We believe that SME can be a great start too!
GradEx Talks

2018 жылдың 23 қыркүйегінде НУ бітірушілері Алматыда «AlumniTalks» НУ бітірушілерімен «Қазақстандағы бизнес» тақырыбында әңгіме өткізді. Әр жылдағы бітірушілерді тұрақты түрде жинап отыру керек деген ойды айтты. Нурсултан Зиябеков НУ-ң «Саруар»клубының басшысы, «Takeiteasy»журналының жарық көруіне үлес қосқан адам. Қазір Алматыда ,кәсіпкер.
Махмуд Шадиев шараның арнайы қонағы болды- инвестор, Bekker&Co-ң бұрынғы басшысы, ауыл шаруашылығы саласында «Шадиев» жобасын жүзеге асырған. Ол студенттер Қауымдастығымен өзінің кәсіби тәжірибесімен бөлісті.
30 қыркүйекте НУ бітірушілер Алматы қаласын тамашалады,табиғатқа шығып күздің жайма шуақ күндерінде жақсы демалыс алды.
НУ жоғарғы оқудан кейінгі білім алу туралы НУ студенттерінің семинарлар жүйесі.
Семинарлар легін әлеуметтік, гуманитарлық ғылымдар Мектебінің доцентіА.Шеффердің университеттен кейін білім алу мәселелеріне арналған
«Жоғарғы білімнен кейінгі білім алу туралы интервью» шарасы бастады. Доктор Шеффер CACтың профессор-тәлімгері. Оқуымды жалғастырамын деген студенттерге көп жәрдем көрсететін адам. Қандай дайындық болуы керек, қандай құжаттар керек, комиссияның алдында өзіңнің қабілетің мықты екенін қалай көрсетуге болады – осы тақырыптар төңірегінде әңгіме өрбіді.
2018 жылдың 19 қазанында, кезінде НУ бітіруші, Технология, ғылым мектебінің оқытушыссы, Манчестер Университетің математика бакалавры Биржан Акынкожаев дұрыс өтініш жазу туралы семинар өткізді.(Personalstatement). Аспирантураға түсу жолдары туралы пайдалы кеңестер берді.
Кейігі уақытта студенттермен бітірушілерге жұмыс жайлы жалған ұсыныстар түсуіне байланысты CAC «Жұмыс жайлы ұсыныс дұрыс немесе жалған екенін қалай білуге болады?» семинарын өткізді. Алғашқы семинарды NU 16 ‘, ШНТ Акторе Барлыбаев өткізді.
Мысалы, кәсіпкер саған әдемі безендірілген шақыру қағазын әкеліп тұр. Бұл ұсынысты жан-жақты қарап, Веб-сайттарға шығып, компания өкілімен кездесіп әбден анықтап алған жөн.
2018жылы NU Alumnus Мади Жакупбаев бітірушілерге мотивациялық хат жазу туралы семинар өткізді. Студенттер жеке өтініш пен мотивациялық хаттың айырмашылығын анықтады,шет ел университеттеріне өтініш жазу жайлы мағлұмат алды.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, nec ei esse quot molestiae, putant dolores definiebas ea nam. Mei alterum fastidii neglegentur in, nec in fuisset antiopam suavitate. Nam ut possit labitur tibique, et eos feugait incorrupte. Quas populo insolens nec cu, ei mel nostro maiorum constituto.

Шақырылған баяндамашы Қазақстан стратегиялық зерттеу институтының директоры Ерлан Карин мырза болуы керек еді. Алайда ол кісі басқа жұмысқа ауысуына байланысты шараға қатыса алмады.
Дегенмен де қонақтар назарына ұсынатын шаралар мол болды. Александра Меркуля стендап-шоу тыңдады, сайыстар өткізілді. Шараға спонсорлықты студенттердің өздері атқарды, атап айтқанда,AisuluSanat –н әшекей бұйымда, квест- комнаталар үшін сертификаттар «Vzaperti» Олжас Акбаевтан.
Шварцман стипендиясының иегері, Пекиндегі Цинхуа университетінде оқитын Алибек Нуркешті сіздер білесіздер. Алібек өзінің степендиат-әріптестері үшін Қазақстанға келуді ұйымдастырды, 26 қаңтарда Макс Сонг, стипендиаттардың бірі, «Күрделі нәрселерді қалай жасау керек»атты лекция оқыды. Ол Силикон айқабындағы жұмысы жайлы айтты, сәттілік сәтсіздікті қабылдау мәдениеті жайлы әңгімеледі. Қайсарлық пен мықтылықтың маңызы туралы әңгіме өрбітті. Макс 24 тте, ол Пекинде, Шанхайда және Чикагода өсті..
Соңғы 5 лет Макс Сонг Эймса НАСАзерттеу орталығында жұмыс атқарды, геннді инженериямен шұғылданды, Сингулярность Университетінде ұстаздық етті, Браун Университетінде студенттік акселератор құрды. Ол ең жас маман ретінде DARPA-н қаржыландыратын Ayasdi, компаниясында жұмыс жасады. Оның жұмысы Нью-Йоркте Лондон, Парижде бағаланды. Университеттте жүріп деректер туралы ғылым анықтамасын басылымға шығарды. (thedatasciencehandbook.com), ол Forbesта профиль алып 100 елде 10 000 құйылым болды. Ол OneSalon (onesalon.org)атты интеллектуалдық қауымдастық құрды. Ол Стэнфордегі бір чаптерден бастап әлемнің 16 қаласына тарады. Париж, Лондон, Найроби, Берн, Нанкин, Нью-Йорк т.б.. Үстіміздегі жылдың желтоқсанында ол Шварцман стипендиясына ие болды.
2016 жылдың 21 ақпанында НУ Түлектері Боулинг ойнына жарыс өткізді. Бірнеше топқа бөлінген бітірушілер 1-і орынға таласты. Топтардың аттары әзілдеп қойылған соң, ойын қызыққа толы болды.
Жеңімпаздар:
НУ Түлектерінің Бостондағы Университетіміздің Студенттік істер және халықаралық ынтымақтастық жөніндегі Вице-президенті К. Даировамен кездесуі.
Азат Сулейменов и Айнур Кадырбаева: «2016 жылдың 27 қаңтарында Кадиша Даирова Бостонға келді, НУ бітірушілерімен жылы ресми емес ортада дидарласты. Кадиша Нурдульдиновна НУ- да оқыған бес жылда бізге үлкен қолдау көрсетті. Бұл кісімен байланыс бұл күнде де үзілмеген.
Бідің университетімізде 6 айдың ішінде көп өзгерістер болыпты. НУ даму үстінде. Шет елдік студенттер Ну ды Орта азиядағы аса маңызды жоба деп қабылдап, НУ мен байланыста болуға ниет білдірді.
«Болашақ» бағдарламасы, әлемдегі маңызы және оның түлектері жайлы да әңгіме қозғалды.
Рахмер, NU, студенттік шақ үшін».

Every parser saves its own properties, but the default CSS parser uses:
before: the space symbols before the node. It also stores * and _ symbols before the declaration (IE hack).
after: the space symbols after the last child of the node to the end of the node.
between: the symbols between the property and value for declarations, selector and { for rules, or last parameter and { for at-rules.
semicolon: contains true if the last child has an (optional) semicolon.
afterName: the space between the at-rule name and its parameters.
PostCSS cleans at-rule parameters from comments and extra spaces, but it stores origin content in raws properties. As such, if you don’t change a declaration’s value, PostCSS will use the raw value with comments.

Это пример страницы. От записей в блоге она отличается тем, что остаётся на одном месте и отображается в меню сайта (в большинстве тем). На странице «Детали» владельцы сайтов обычно рассказывают о себе потенциальным посетителям. Например, так:
Привет! Днём я курьер, а вечером — подающий надежды актёр. Это мой блог. Я живу в Ростове-на-Дону, люблю своего пса Джека и пинаколаду. (И ещё попадать под дождь.)
…или так:
Компания «Штучки XYZ» была основана в 1971 году и с тех пор производит качественные штучки. Компания находится в Готэм-сити, имеет штат из более чем 2000 сотрудников и приносит много пользы жителям Готэма.
