A 3rd-year student of the specialty "6B050103 -Biotechnology" KhalikovaKamilya within the framework of academic mobility for one semester passed thecompetition and will study during the spring semester at the University of Tsukuba(Japan). Kamila was able to win the competition thanks to her successful studies,knowledge of English, etc.One of the priority directions in the training of exchange students wass thespecialty "Biotechnology". The University provides free tuition, a scholarship, aplace in a university dormitory.Each student of the specialty "Biotechnology" during his undergraduate andgraduate studies is given the opportunity to go on an exchange to foreignuniversities, thanks to successful studies, knowledge of English, etc. languages.Congratulations to Kamila and we wish her to successfully complete herstudies in Japan!

Greetings from the second-year master's students of the Department of Biotechnology named after Al-Farabi, studying at ENSAIA. These girls are studying at the University of Lorraine under an Aba-Verne grant for 6 months in Nancy, France. In this video they share their academic achievements.

Under the leadership of Narmurotova Meiramkul Khudretovna (Ph.D., Associate Professor) at the Department of Biotechnology of the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, the 1^st year undergraduates of the specialty biology of the Aktobe Regional University named after Zhubanov underwent scientific training. During the internship, they gained knowledge of dairy products.

During the period from 30.01.2020 to 14.02.2020, I was lucky enough to complete a two-week internship at the University of Bergen.  The University's infrastructure, scientific laboratories, and dormitories impressed me with their development, convenience, and absolutely all the conditions for studying science! I was fascinated by  city, its cleanliness and integrity of the inhabitants. Especially for those students who have never been away from home, I can say with confidence that Norway is one of the safest countries in the world, if someone has the opportunity to visit this country, then go ahead!

The main goal Of the University of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is the development of the higher education system and the formation of an international system of higher education at the world level. Al-Farabi Kazakh national University is one of the members of the USCO international educational program. One of the projects created by the international University is "Double diploma". A student, who has entered the master's program under the "Double diploma" program has the opportunity to study at two different higher educational universities, get two diplomas and complete a scientific internship. It was for this opportunity that Batykova Zhuldyz underwent a scientific internship at the Belgorod State University, graduated and received double diplomas from KazNU and BelSU, becoming a master of technical sciences.

According to the program proposed by the USCO, she was able not only to study at BelSU, but also to work as professors and teachers in Russia in a laboratory equipped with new equipment. Batykova Zhuldyz would like to thank KazNU, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, Department of Biotechnology for excellent opportunities!

The University of Bergen (UiB) is an internationally recognized research university. UiB is the most cited university in Norway. UiB has seven faculties and the Department of Biotechnology has a collaboration with the Faculty of Biological Sciences (BiO). Extremophiles and Biotechnology laboratory work with a range of extremophilic microorganisms and their diversity: thermo-acidophilic methane-oxidizing bacteria, Archaea, halophiles, strict anaerobes and hyper stable enzymes from thermophiles with potential for industrial applications. Physiological, genomic and molecular microbiology aspects are being studied as well.

From October 2019 to March 2020, PhD student of Biotechnology department Mashzhan Akzhigit has joined to the “Extremophiles and Biotechnology” research group under supervision of Nils-Kåre Birkeland Aida Kistaubayeva. The goal of this internship was to study samples from hot springs in Almaty region (Kazakhstan) using Metagenomic analysis as part of my PhD project and a part of project “Network for research-based higher education in microbial biotechnology” (CPEA-LT-2017/10061), which is funded by the Eurasian program of the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (Diku).

Role Mashzhan Akzhigit of at Extremophiles and Biotechnology research group was to perform a metagenomic analysis of water samples which were collected from hot springs in Almaty region (Kazakhstan) and also to carry out the isolation and description of bacteria with an enzymatic activity using state of the art molecular biology methods.
