number of talented Kazakh students to the university. The
plan is to continue improving gradually to become one of the top 300
universities in the very near time,» said Luis Ramon Rojas-Solórzano, Associate
Provost for Graduate Studies at NU.
The best university in Central Asia is

enrolling. It is truly a high-quality program that shows results,» noted Assel
