The agreement on the development of partnership between the universities was signed last year, during the visit of KazNU's Rector, academician Galym Mutanov to this famous British university.

Its peculiarity is in the synergy of theory and practice - the lectures of leading professors are accompanied by the presentations of research, and the methodology and planning of research projects are studied with concrete samples.

Particular attention was given to the infrastructure of Oxford University. Kazakh students visited laboratories, which unite the researchers from various fields of science - Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Archeology. According to the students, the internship made it possible not only to listen to lectures by renowned professors and gain practical knowledge and skills, but also to become familiar with the teaching system of the leading university in the world.
