In the period 1987-1989, he served in the army of the Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Returning to the country, he entered the Arabic department of the Faculty of Oriental Studies of the leader of higher education the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi. Berik's deep education and internal culture were combined, and his reputation was higher than that of his peers. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the most talented boys and girls in Kazakhstan studied at this course.

Among my students, Aryn Berik should be singled out, who proved himself to be a qualified specialist at the embassy, and then in the USA in Shanghai.
Among the best students, even when he went to Morocco for language training in 1992-1993, he was able to distinguish himself in a unique way. His friends who studied at the Maouli Ismail University in Meknes always say that he easily mastered subjects related to Arabic language and literature, culture and history, and was highly respected among the teachers of this university. We valued Berik, an excellent student and an active participant in the social life of the university, as a person of high morality. We had high hopes for the future of the perspective, young warrior Berik, and our faith is justified today.
In 1994, after graduating from the Faculty of Oriental Studies of the Kazakh State University, he was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, where until 1996 he held the positions of assistant and attaché of the department of the Near and Middle East and Africa.
