“Knowledge Day” Celebration for First-Year Students

KazNU Hosts “Knowledge Day” Celebration for First-Year Students

On September 1, 2026, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted a festive “Knowledge Day” event as part of the Orientation Week for first-year students marking the beginning of the new academic year.

The event brought together newly admitted students of the Faculty of Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence, who had the opportunity to learn more about the university and faculty’s educational environment, academic opportunities, and student life.

The programme began with a welcoming address by the Dean of the Faculty. The faculty administration congratulated the first-year students on the beginning of the new academic year and highlighted the importance of their first steps towards academic and professional development. Students were also encouraged to pursue high-quality education, develop professional competencies, and actively participate in research and innovative projects.

During the meeting, first-year students were introduced to the faculty administration and received comprehensive information about the faculty’s development priorities, academic programmes, as well as the academic and professional opportunities available to them throughout their four years of study.

As part of the event, students were introduced to the activities of student organizations and various initiatives that provide young people with opportunities to actively participate in the university’s social, academic, cultural, and community life.

The programme also included an information session dedicated to one of the key issues of today’s digital society – ethics and responsible use of artificial intelligence. The session addressed the effective and safe use of artificial intelligence technologies in education, as well as the importance of maintaining the principles of academic integrity.

Orientation Week is an important initiative aimed at helping first-year students adapt to university life, confidently enter a new academic environment, and explore the wide range of opportunities available at the university.

The Faculty of Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence congratulates all first-year students on the beginning of the new academic year and wishes them an inspiring student journey filled with knowledge, innovation, and great achievements!
