Brief information about the university
The origin of the current agricultural university dates back to the middle of the last century. It all started with the creation of Akmola s.kh. Institute. This event happened in 1957. The university lasted 4 years, and in its history the first renaming took place. The educational institution began to be called Tselinogradsky s.kh. Institute.
Subsequently, the university became both the Akmola Agrarian University and the Kazakh Agrarian University. Until 2007, it was considered state, and in 2007 it was reorganized into a joint-stock company. Currently, the largest higher educational institution in Northern and Central Kazakhstan is the agricultural university existing in such a city as Astana. The faculties of this university are worth exploring in detail.
Faculty of Economics and Humanities
The origin of the Faculty of Economics dates back to 1960. At that time, the specialty "Organization and Economics of Agriculture" opened in the educational institution. The task of training personnel was undertaken by the agronomy faculty. A year later, the university began to prepare accountants. A further increase in interest in economic specialties prompted the leadership of the educational institution to create an independent economic faculty. This structural unit is currently operating. Having entered the agrarian university (Astana) at this faculty, you can become a bachelor in economics, accounting and auditing, management, finance, marketing, and socio-cultural service.
The Faculty of Humanities in the educational institution was created several times. The first time he appeared in 1990. After about 13 years, he was reorganized. Departments were included in the faculty of vocational training and computer systems, and after a while they were removed from the structural unit and united into a department. In 2010, on the basis of an order from the leadership, a humanitarian faculty was formed. Now it does not have any specific specialties. His tasks include conducting humanitarian disciplines in all areas of training.
Faculty of Technology and Energy
The Faculty of Technology, which provides training in 7 specialties, has been leading its history since 1957. At that time, it functioned as a faculty of agriculture. Since its inception, the structural unit has developed - the material and technical base has expanded, the scientific and pedagogical potential has grown. Currently, the existing technical faculty meets the requirements of the time. It consists of several scientific laboratories, specialized classrooms equipped with modern technology.
At the Faculty of Energy, history also began in 1957. This structural unit was separated from the faculty of mechanization of agriculture and was called the faculty of electrification. Later, the unit became known as energy. It exists and is currently engaged in the training of engineering and administrative personnel for energy organizations.
Land management and architectural faculties
The Department of Land Management has been operating since 1958. He is training personnel for land management organizations. Only a university in Astana prepares such specialists. No other educational organization has such a faculty. The offered specialties are “land management”, “cadastre”, “assessment”, “cartography and geodesy”.
An interesting structural unit is the Faculty of Architecture, because those specialties that it offers are associated with creativity ("architecture", "design"). To conduct classes, Agrarian University (Astana) allocated and equipped classrooms for drawing, painting, composition, architectural design, design. For future architects, master classes are held. Students are invited by leading city architects to their workshops.
Faculty of Agronomy and the Faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary Technology
The Faculty of Agronomy in the structure of a higher educational institution appeared in 1957. His goal was to train agronomists. Currently, the faculty graduates not only these specialists. Ecologists and personnel who have graduated in such fields as “soil science and agrochemistry”, “forestry and forest resources”, “plant protection and quarantine” come out of the university.
The faculty of animal husbandry and veterinary technology was established at the university in accordance with the order of management in 2009. This is a young structural unit, but it has a long history, because its roots lie in the last century. The faculty was formed as a result of the merger of 2 structural divisions of the university. His tasks included the training of veterinarians, specialists in the field of fisheries, hunting, technology for the production of livestock products.
Faculty of Professional Education and Computer Systems
This structural unit appeared in 1985. It still exists. Applicants entering the agrarian university (Astana) at this faculty are offered 3 specialties. The first of these is vocational training. After studying at it, you can become a teacher in agricultural production, radio electronics and electrical engineering. The second specialty is “information systems”, and the third is “software and computer technology”.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that the easiest way to get free education is in those areas that are related to physics. On some of them, the passing grade (excluding the Russian or Kazakh language) is from 50 points. For example, in 2013, applicants with a minimum score of 50 (excluding the Russian language) received an educational grant for the direction “agricultural machinery and technology”. It is difficult to enter creative specialties at the Agrarian University (Astana). Passing points in 2013 on "architecture" were 93, excluding the Kazakh language, and on "design" - 90.
