On the basis of Almaty University of Energy and Communications named after Gumarbek Daukeev, a solemn opening ceremony of a branch of the The Anhalt University of Applied Sciences was held.
The Anhalt University of Applied Sciences has become the first German university to teach in Kazakhstan according to German educational programs.
Initially, training in the branch will be conducted by German teachers. After comprehensive professional development, Kazakh colleagues will gradually take over teaching. The first five teachers of Energo University are already undergoing internships at the University of Anhalt. Ten more teachers plan to come to Germany in April next year for a one-year course.
"Our university and the University of Applied Sciences Anhalt have a long-term partnership," said Energo University Rector Gani Nygymetov, "Together, even before the opening of the branch, we have successfully developed and implemented five double degree programs. And today's event has become a natural continuation of these relations. We are confident that our cooperation with one of the leading technical universities in Germany will contribute to the training of high-quality specialists for the economy of our country, who are also ready to compete in the global market."
Earlier, the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan Sayasat Nurbek noted that "Anhalt University plays an important role in the general group of branches of foreign universities opened in Kazakhstan, as an expert in the field of energy and telecommunications. We want to use the experience of this German university in establishing cooperation with industrial companies and thereby attract them to Kazakhstan as industry leaders."
