Why do Europeans choose Kazakhstan to study and get a doctorate degree in the Kazakh capital at one of the country’s best universities? What attracts them to a sunny city with a river that divides it into two parts: old and new. The answers to these questions can be obtained from a PhD student from Germany, Eva Lennartz, who is studying for the second semester at the Nazarbayev University. She is set to write a thesis work on Eurasian studies, likes history and anthropology. Viewers will get to know the university through the eyes of a foreign student, participate with Eva in the Sunday race, support international athletes competing in the Ironman race, try a bungee in the Jetysu park with Eva’s friend Jawid from Afghanistan, meet the parents who came to visit their daughter from Dusseldorf and walk with them around the university campus, visit the new capital mosque - the largest in Central Asia, and explore the city onboard a pleasure boat.
