At the Faculty of Physics and Technology of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, the Dean of the Faculty held a meeting with the curators and first-year students of the educational program “Materials Science and New Materials Technology” of the Department of Solid State Physics and New Materials Technology.

The purpose of the meeting was to familiarize students with the key principles of the university’s academic life and to build a solid foundation for their further studies. During the meeting, students were introduced to the Academic Policy of KazNU, the Student Code of Honor, and the rules of residence in university dormitories.

Special attention was paid to issues of academic integrity, responsibility for compliance with behavioral norms, and the maintenance of an atmosphere of mutual respect. The Dean emphasized the importance of active student participation in the scientific and social life of the faculty, while the curators spoke about their role in supporting the adaptation of first-year students to new study conditions.
