Maqsut Narikbayev University celebrates its 30th anniversary

Maqsut Narikbayev University (MNU), one of Kazakhstan’s premier higher education institutions, hosted a large-scale contest, wherein four universities competed for the best congratulation on its 30th anniversary. It brought together over 600 participants, including students, alumni, and university professors forming their own teams. The students expressed pride in being part of such exciting performances, competing not only for the winner’s cup but also for a prize fund of five million tenge. Holiday competitions have turned into a tradition at the university. It is believed that this approach develops unconventional thinking and competitive spirit in young people.

“We have been preparing for this event for approximately 1.5 to 2 months. Our team, consisting of 80 to 100 students, gathered for rehearsals every single day to craft the show and win the cup of the decade. I believe this is a sufficient number of participants to put on a spectacular show,” said MNU student Alina Birgaliyeva.

“In general, our university has achieved a lot. We have undergone accreditation by European agencies. We have recently received the UK Quality Assurance Agency’s accreditation, validating that the university meets British and international standards of quality in higher education. Thus, diplomas issued to our graduates will be recognized in the UK on par with diplomas from top British universities,” noted MNU Deputy Chairman Arman Pirzadayev.
