I was lucky enough to study at the largest higher educational institution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the East Kazakhstan Technical University named after Daulet Serikbayev located in Ust-Kamenogorsk. My university is one of the leading technical universities in Kazakhstan, which trains specialists for metallurgy, mechanical engineering, energy, architecture and construction, transport, information systems, as well as professional economists. This year my university celebrates a significant date – its 65th anniversary!
The history of the university dates back to 1958. By the decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Ust-Kamenogorsk Road Construction Institute was organized. D. M. Serikbayev was appointed the first rector of UKSDI. Daulet Mirkasimovich Serikbayev is a teacher-educator, public figure. The opening of a technical university in the East Kazakhstan region was objectively predetermined by the rapid development of the economy in the east of Kazakhstan and the urgent need for engineering and technical personnel to ensure it. On May 7, 1996, UKSDI was reorganized into the East Kazakhstan Technical University.
The main mission of today’s East Kazakhstan Technical University is to provide quality education. Every year, its position in international rankings grows stronger, and its competitiveness increases.
The university is equipped with modern scientific instruments and uses innovative technologies, allows internships abroad at leading universities in the world. All of the above contributes to obtaining specialties that are in demand in the labor market, experience and modern knowledge, which from the very first days of training gives confidence in your own future and career. And my university is also famous for its bright and eventful student life: the annual gala concerts “Student Spring”, the event “Mister EKTU” and “Miss EKTU”, “Voices of EKTU”, etc.
Student years are a bright and unforgettable period in the life of every person. This is a celebration of youth, enthusiasm, and the consciousness that all roads are open to determined and purposeful conquerors of the impossible. The university constantly hosts various events that are of interest to everyone. I especially remember the Day of initiation into students, after which a sense of unity came, a feeling of being part of a single team. My university is also a place for self-realization and disclosure of potential opportunities, talents. The university has many on-line courses, several creative teams and educational clubs-sections. For example, the Pushkin Literary Club, the student club “Angar” and the course “Information Communication Technology”, etc. Extracurricular activities allow you to communicate with peers and develop qualities that will help in the future to establish contacts in various aspects of activity. You can also try yourself in scientific work by participating in various conferences.
Having entered the East Kazakhstan Technical University named after Daulet Serikbayev, I made the right choice! I am sure that in the future, our university will reach even greater heights. I am proud of my University!
