“Meet Your Department”: First-Year Students Get to Know Their Departments

As part of the start of the new academic year, the Faculty’s departments held “Meet Your Department” orientation meetings for first-year students.

The meetings were aimed at introducing freshmen to the University’s academic environment, explaining how the educational process is organized, and providing guidance on the opportunities available for their academic and personal development.

During the meetings, students received information about the organization of the learning process, student and international opportunities, academic development initiatives, and various activities available at the University. First-year students also met their academic advisors and learned where they could seek guidance and support throughout their studies.

Particular attention was given to introducing students to the Academic Policy of Al-Farabi KazNU, the Code of Honour, and the University’s Internal Regulations. The students were also introduced to the UNIVER information system, including its key features and its role in supporting the educational process.

Department representatives answered students’ questions and provided practical guidance to help them navigate their first weeks at the University.

The “Meet Your Department” meetings became an important part of the freshmen orientation process, giving students an opportunity to get to know their departments and academic advisors, learn more about the University’s opportunities, and confidently begin their university journey.
