Hello, my name is Alan and I’m a student at Aktobe State University.

I passed my school exams with good marks and left school at 18. Now I am at university. To get into university is quite hard. You have to study very hard at school and you have to know a lot about science. You have to work hard for quite a few years. In Kazakhstan was adopted a western model of higher education system- a 4 years course of studies with getting the Bachelor degree after graduation and a 2 years course of study with getting the Master's degree after graduation.

I`m doing a degree in computer sciences.The course lasts four years, and there are twofifteen-week terms in every year. Terminal examinations are held in December and in May.Most people who receive a university place are given a grant by the government to help pay their fees and living expenses.

Learning, like many other activities, involves a complex set of skills that require practice. If you are an undergraduate at university in Kazakhstan, you spend a lot of time studying alone, but you also have to attend a lot of seminars and lectures and take notes. You have to read widely and you have to express your opinions on a range of academic topics. In order to become a prosperous student, you must have the ability to manage your time. At university you can be flexible with your schedule, you have to get out of bed in time for lectures, do your work on time, and plan your revision period before exams. It’s important to come to your lessons on time so that you don’t miss anything.

I enjoy academic subjects like history and English. At English lessons we discuss a lot of topics and develop our thinking skills. Also we have to write essays and pass exams. If you need a help, you can ask your tutor for advice on your work. The marks you get for your home assignment go towards your final results.

I like my subject, informatics, and it will be useful to me in the future.Learning mathematics and science often presents unique study skills. I work hard and enjoy my study. I think my GPA will be great this semester.

In Ka­zakhstan many university students live away from home. This means they get the freedom and opportunity to meet new people. Most students live in a hall of residence in their first year, where they are less likely to be homesick or lonely. Many students find part-time jobs to help pay the bills.

I’m quite busy so I`m always short on time. However I can still go to the gym, I can still play football with my friends and still play other sports and music as my spare time. Overall, I’m having a good time. If I pass my final exams, I'll get my degree. If I do well, I can do research to get Master`s degree. A good degree will get me a good job.
