A Focus on Fundamentals: MNU Continues the Transformation of Educational Programs

Maqsut Narikbayev University continues its systematic transformation of educational programs. The University’s faculty are working to strengthen the fundamental component of courses in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

MNU faculty members took part in a two-day off-site training at the Sheraton Astana Hotel. The event was held ahead of the start of the new academic year. In a series of practical workshops, participants worked on course content, reviewing course structures, learning sequences, and assessment approaches.

Particular attention was paid to strengthening the fundamental component of education, as well as identifying the knowledge and ways of thinking that will retain their value regardless of the pace of technological change. It was emphasised that the University’s task is not only to adapt to new tools in the era of AI development, but also to foster professional thinking, logic, and analytical skills. In addition, starting from the new academic year, greater emphasis will be placed on students’ reading and critical engagement with texts.

The transformation is aimed at improving the quality of the educational process and preparing in-demand professionals for the labour market. Following the training, faculty members presented their proposals for updated courses.
