Academic activity

The preparation of undergraduates within the EP is carried out by highly qualified specialists from two universities - al-Farabi KazNU) and KBTU, providing a high-quality educational process, where undergraduates are presented with the theoretical and practical foundations of biomedical engineering. The training of specialists meets high standards aimed at training specialists in this field.

A unified information system of the university allows you to increase the efficiency of the assessment of undergraduates and provide them on time with all the necessary information (contests and news, schedule, assessment system, educational and methodological materials for disciplines: syllabus, methodological recommendations).

Scientific activities

Master's studies within the framework of the EP "Biomedical Engineering" are focused on obtaining new competencies, primarily the skills of conducting independent scientific research, implementing scientific and practical projects, and teamwork skills. During their studies, undergraduates participate in scientific research under the guidance of highly qualified teachers and researchers. The result of the research activities of undergraduates is a master's thesis, based on the results of the defense of which an academic master's degree is awarded. The main results of the master's thesis are presented in at least one publication in the recommended scientific journals.
