We are the 2^nd  course students of the Karaganda State Medical University, “Biology” specialty. We have been trained within academic mobility at the  Kostroma State University in the field of “Biology” during the autumn term. Kostroma State University is one of the oldest and prestigious universities of the Russian Federation. The content of the academic mobility program corresponds to the Karaganda State Medical University educational program.  According to the theoretical part we have done a lot of practical experience using personal research. Having proceeded  from practical experience we have done analysis and conclusion to the next research, which gave us an opportunity to continue our educational objectives.  This program allowed us to study educational programs.

The academic teaching staff of the Kostroma State University is highly experienced and qualified. They are always  ready to help. Kostroma State University organized very interesting tour quide program in Kostroma and Yaroslavl cities. There we were introduced to the history of cities, popular sightseeing places and beautiful nature view. We exchanged our cultural heritage and acquired many friends from Czech Republic, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kirgizstan and China and other country. There were a lot of research projects, constructive student investigations, international friends club which reveal abilities and talents of students. During the stay we took part in the International Friendship Day. There we represented our Kazakh culture by singing “Rizamyn” (“I am glateful”) in Kazakh language and also we participated in the  Annual Exchange Conference amoung students. Life and study in a foreign university helps to gain invaluable luggage of professional knowledge for the foundation of a future career, as well as to find new interesting friends from foreign countries.

  We are very thankful to the  Karaganda State Medical University for giving us such an opportunity to visit another country to exchange educational program and get a lot of pleasant and unforgettable impressions for our student life.
