Summer School

Every year, the faculty conducts a summer school in two areas: “Veterinary in Biological Safety” and “Clinical Veterinary Medicine”. Speakers from different countries near and far abroad participate in the events. In 2024, the summer school was held online and offline. Students and undergraduates from China, Pakistan, Samarkand State University of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Husbandry and Biotechnology, as well as our colleagues from West Kazakhstan Agricultural-Technical University named after Zhangir Khan, Toraigyrov University, Kostanay Regional University named after Akhmet Baitursynov, and other universities in Kazakhstan showed great interest in the summer school and participated offline and online.

Participants and listeners of the conference not only listened to interesting lectures but also took part in on-site classes at the Horse Club, the hippodrome, dairy cow farms of Amiran LLP  and in the faculty laboratories. The summer school program included a series of lectures, practical exercises, and discussion panels, featuring prominent speakers, experts, and practitioners in the field of veterinary medicine. The speakers contributed significantly to the educational process and provided participants with access to the latest research and best practices in veterinary medicine. The international summer school was attended by 39 lecturers from various countries: China - 6, Romania - 3, Turkey - 2, France - 1, Uzbekistan - 7, Kazakhstan - 21. This created a multinational learning environment and ensured the exchange of experience and knowledge in the field of veterinary medicine. In total, 20 universities participated in the summer school, including 2 Kazakhstani and 18 foreign universities. Additionally, more than 26 teaching staff from our university participated, sharing their knowledge and innovative scientific achievements.

The summer school at KazNARU is an excellent opportunity for students to dive deeper into the educational process, expand their knowledge, and meet new faces in the field of science. 

Education

The quality assurance policy in the Faculty of Veterinary and Zooengineering is a tool for promoting corporate values ​​and communicating the KazNARU Development Strategy to the entire staff, partners, customers and consumers of the university's services, a declaration of commitment to the principles of quality and customer-focused priorities.

Sustainable education is a modern approach to education that takes into account issues of sustainable development according to the ESG principles. Such education plays a major role in the era of global climate and social change, when specialists are needed to transform society towards a more sustainable one.

ESG can be deciphered as "ecology, social policy and corporate governance". In a broad sense, this is sustainable development of commercial activities, which is based on the following principles:

- responsible attitude to the environment (English, E - environment);

- high social responsibility (English, S - social);

- high quality of corporate governance (English, G - governance).

The developed educational programs of the faculty take into account the needs of stakeholders. As a result of joint work with stakeholders, adjustments have been made to the working curricula for professional practice.

The International Vaccinology Center has been created at the university, where students of our faculty, starting from the second year, learn to develop vaccines for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases of animals, birds and humans, including allergic diseases. The research includes veterinary issues. Based on the results of the thesis, a specific recommendation is developed for implementation in production. This is also the goal of the work on creating startup projects.

The mission of the educational programs of the faculty follows from the mission of KazNARU, includes the mission of the departments of "Biological Safety", "Clinical Disciplines", "Pharmacology and Animal Pathology", "Veterinary Sanitation" and corresponds to the strategic goals and objectives of the national education system, the development of the country and the region and the current system of university management, training highly qualified specialists with a competitive level of knowledge, skills and professional skills in the field of relevant areas, with the necessary professional and personal competencies sufficient for successful activities in veterinary enterprises of Kazakhstan and beyond. At the request of employers and deputies, meetings were held with the developers of the EP, where issues of improving the educational program were discussed. In accordance with the requests of employers and recommendations and official documents of the OIE / OIE, the concept of "One Health" (One Health Approach) such disciplines as Transboundary animal diseases and emerging infections were developed and included in the EP; Natural focal and anthropozoonotic invasions; Epizootological monitoring and forecasting of infectious diseases of animals; Basic principles of the concept of unified health (Unified Health).

The uniqueness and advantage of the EP are the highly qualified faculty; high material and technical equipment of the educational program (The educational process uses 9 educational, 3 scientific and 2 educational and scientific laboratories equipped with modern devices, equipment and installations); training is conducted in three languages ​​(state, Russian and English); dual training has been introduced; the following programs have been widely implemented: international credit mobility, external and internal mobility of the Ministry of Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan; close ties have been established with employers and graduates of educational programs; 100% provision of a hostel for accommodation during training; the presence of a military department and a medical center; access to all educational resources, material (library, laboratories, pharmacy, classrooms, technical teaching aids, sports facilities, canteens and buffets).

Science

Science can provide such understanding by intensifying research into ecological processes and by applying the modern, effective and efficient tools currently available. Science plays an important role in linking the fundamental importance of the Earth system as a life support system with appropriate development strategies that are based on its continued functioning. Science must continue to play an increasingly important role in promoting resource efficiency and in identifying new development methods, tools and alternatives.

The focus of the Sustainable Development Goals in Science is on the role and use of science to support prudent management of natural resources and development in the interests of ensuring people's daily lives and the future development of humanity. Scientists at the Faculty are increasingly expanding their knowledge in areas such as the development of means for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in terrestrial and aquatic animals.

The Faculty aims to

- strengthen the scientific base for sustainable development;

- improve scientific understanding of ongoing processes;

- improve long-term scientific assessments;

- build scientific capacity and capabilities.

Currently, the faculty is implementing 21 research projects with grant funding for scientific and/or scientific and technical projects.

Student activity

Today, the faculty gives students the opportunity to realize themselves, to reveal their potential, opportunities and abilities to influence the state of affairs in the faculty. Student government is an integral part of the entire university-wide management system and implements the most important functions of organizing student life. The dean's office provides maximum support to the activities of the student council. The student government bodies are the Student Government Council, public organizations, clubs, and the student trade union committee. The heads of the sectors of the Student Government Council, elected at the first meeting, oversee important areas of the Council's work. They closely interact with the deputy deans, advisers supervising the relevant areas and heads of departments, organize events, help solve students' problems that arise in the educational process.

Students have the opportunity to actively participate in the social life of the faculty through various student organizations and associations, such as: MK "Zhas Otan", youth labor camp "Zhasyl El", "Student construction squad", student Assembly "Dostyk", movement "Shapagat", club "Ayaly alakan", dance group "Altyn dan", patriotic club "Aibyn", club "Volunteers of KazNAIU", student squad of police assistants.
