Since my freshman year I've been living the student life to the fullest. I study well, write scientific articles, receive an increased academic scholarship, am socially active and have been my faculty's Head of the student self-governing body for several years. I am also a Head of a cybersports club and a member of our university's standup comedy Club of the Funny and Inventive.
Each day I discover something new. I am sure that you can achieve a lot if you want it, and I strive towards the goals I've set for myself. I have a lot of plans for future. But I am sure of one thing — everything that the Karachay-Circassian State University has given me cannot be overestimated, and I will remain grateful to my alma mater for the knowledge, experience, self-development opportunities.

Business partners
For active interaction with employers, KCSU has concluded around 200 cooperation agreements with partner organizations. Among its partners are the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) – Russia’s largest center for basic research, and the State Natural Biosphere Reserve.
I've had interest in foreign languages since childhood, my dream was to visit Europe, to see Russia. I've entered the KCSU Master's program in the English Language mostly because I enjoy the magnificent mountains, lush nature, good climate, successfully developing tourism industry. This is great for promoting top-level tourist services where skilled interpreters are in high demand. Thanks to the support from my teachers and the university management, I have created a project called "English Vacation in the Mountains" for the students who plan to work in tourism and translating, as well as for those who try to improve their international communication skills and obtain an experience in talking to native speakers.

I decided to start the Karakum ensemble when I was a freshman. I was homesick, missing our traditions and culture. While talking to other students from my country, I realized that I was not alone in my homesickness. That's how an idea was born — to create a space for young people where we can gather, share our memories of Turkmenistan, show the culture of our homeland to the locals. My idea was supported by the university management, and we decided to start a dance ensemble.
