There is the most wonderful academic staff in Al-Farabi KazNU. Students have a great motivation to study and get new knowledge.

I came to Kazakhstan to spend six weeks in the country's highest ranked and Largest University, Al-Farabi KazNU. So far I have loved absolutely every minute of it and am very grateful to the University for facilitating this opportunity. Working in the Physical Chemistry department I have met some lovely and fascinating people who have tried very hard to make me feel welcome even thought the language barrier, and the chance to get some work experience in such amazing country is greatly appreciated. Coming from a British University, I feel sure that these connections will strengthen over the next years and I would recommend a visit to Al- Farabi KazNU to anyone who wants a fun, unusual and interesting experience in an amazing and growing country.

My time in 'Kazakhstan has been fantastic in these short four weeks and I can say a lot about this country, especially Almaty. The most important thing I can say about Almaty is that people are very nice and friendly. I have been working in the 'Department of Analytic, Colloidal Chemistry and 'Technology of Rare Elements. I am passionate about this subject and enjoy the work. I would definitely recommend a placement in Al-Farabi KazNU to everyone who wants to have a great time in an amazing country and gain some useful technical experience.
