Academic activity

EP is developed taking into account the requirements of the market, the opinions of employers and students. Employers of leading enterprises and organizations of the region take an active part in the development of work curricula for EP, the formation of training trajectories within the EP, compilation of a catalog of elective disciplines.

The teaching staff of the EP is represented by highly qualified specialists in the field of cellular and molecular biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, food biotechnology, molecular genetic technologies, genetic engineering, bioinformatics. These are specialists who are authoritative in scientific circles of the Republic of Kazakhstan and abroad, who have proven their professional and scientific viability by their own successes, as well as by the achievements of their students. Teachers participate in the implementation of republican programs and research projects funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the World Development Bank, and the IAEA. 90% of the teaching staff participating in the implementation of EP 8D05105-PhD "Biotechnology" are leaders of scientific projects, or executors of these studies. The degree of the teaching staff is 100%. Among the teaching staff participating in the preparation of doctoral students 1 academician of NAS RK, 1 corresponding member. NAS RK.

According to the program "Attracting foreign scientists to teaching" at the Department of Biotechnology, the following professors conduct classes:
