Student reviews

What is academic mobility and how does it affect you? First and foremost, it's about new experiences, knowledge and connections. Academic mobility is studying at another university for one semester. In my case, it happens abroad, at the University of Lodz in Poland. The University of Lodz has bilateral agreements with 250 universities worldwide, as well as written agreements with over 400 universities under the Erasmus program. Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University also has an agreement with the University of Lodz. This allows many undergraduate and graduate students to study in Poland for free on an exchange program. I'm currently a first-year Master's student in the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection in Poland. It's a well-known fact that all lessons are taught in English, which helps to improve English communication skills. In addition to studying abroad, academic mobility allows you to travel around Europe, experience a new culture and make friends from all over the world. In conclusion, I would like to express my deep gratitude to management of Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University for the academic mobility program and the excellent opportunities it creates for students.

It's always important to expand your knowledge and learn something new. Therefore, I took advantage of the opportunity to study on an academic mobility program at the University of Lodz, Poland. Exchanging experiences in Poland was a great achievement for me, and studying abroad provided me with invaluable international experience. During the program, learning from competent international professors allowed me to broaden my horizons. Overall, studying abroad helped to change my outlook on life, creating numerous opportunities and helped me accumulate cutting-edge experience that could positively impact educational system in our country. In this regard, I would like to thank the rector and faculty of Korkyt Ata university, who supported us and created all the conditions for the students.

I am a second-year student at Korkyt Ata Qyzylorda university. I am currently studying on an academic mobility program at the University of Lodz, Poland. Studying at the University of Lodz opens up numerous opportunities and is an excellent platform for creating various initiatives. Like many foreign countries, it offers excellent learning conditions for students. Studying at a Polish university requires a great deal of willpower, hard work, patience and the ability to conduct independent research. Foreign universities provide students with the necessary educational resources. They have state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, a modern library, mandatory internships at prestigious companies, and classes with experienced professors and people with extensive work experience. Here, we conduct classes with students from different countries, giving us the opportunity to learn more about the culture of each country. I would also like to tell you about the university's activities. The university often organizes competitions and events outside of class. These activities help students quickly adapt to a new environment and make many friends. Of course, the biggest advantage is that classes are taught in English. This is a great opportunity to improve students' language level.

Learning a new language and acquiring new knowledge are modern demands. Nowadays, one can say, that knowledge of English is essential for everyone. This opens doors to many opportunities, including further professional development, a good income, work abroad, studying at renowned universities abroad, traveling to European countries, and the ability to freely communicate with foreigners. I was given the opportunity to develop my English skills by studying under an exchange program in Lodz, Poland. If you're studying in Poland for the full four years, you'll need to know Polish or take Polish language courses during the first year. A Polish diploma is valid for all EU countries. 
Benefits of studying in Poland: 
* Learn from experienced, educated teachers.
* Students are given freedom of movement; for example, you don't have to ask your teacher for permission to go outside during class. 
* You have the opportunity to choose and study only those subjects that interest you.
* There are no special requirements for exchange students. Therefore, exchange students have an easier time studying. 
* For some subjects, you don't have to take exams; you simply prepare a presentation. 
* Studying abroad can also be beneficial for employment. 
* All Polish universities are modern, provided with all the necessary equipment and their design is incredibly beautiful. 
* Opportunity to travel to other European countries.

While being abroad, learning about the culture and traditions of this country made a huge impression on me. It was a wonderful opportunity to exchange experiences, as well as to have important lessons and make new friends. Polish are very calm people, like Kazakhs, and they greatly respect their native language. And most important for me, getting acquainted with Poland, its traditions and customs was an absolutely indescribable experience. It's always important to expand your knowledge and learn new things. Studying with foreign professors allowed me to strengthen my character and work on my weaknesses. I thank the professors and faculty of Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University for providing me with such an unforgettable experience.
