Students of M. Adyshev Osh Technological University Study at Ural State University of Economics (USUE, Russia)

As part of the academic mobility program, students of M. Adyshev Osh Technological University – Malika Kasymova and Nursuluu Mamatova, second-year students of the Department of Applied Informatics at the Institute of Innovative Information Technologies, are undertaking a four-month study program at the Ural State University of Economics (USUE) in Yekaterinburg, Russian Federation.

The academic mobility program offers OshTU students the opportunity not only to study abroad but also to experience new educational approaches, cultures, and learning environments.

According to the participants, their stay at USUE has been a valuable experience both academically and personally.

“The first thing that surprised us was the strict order at the university entrance. Students pass through a checkpoint and leave their outerwear in the cloakroom. Everything is well-organized and modern,” said the students.

They observed that USUE has two large academic buildings equipped with elevators, spacious classrooms, and modern sanitary facilities — all of which, they noted, create a comfortable learning environment.

“The educational process is similar to ours, but here all subjects are taught in Russian. We especially liked the physical education classes – the sports halls are spacious and well-equipped,” shared Malika and Nursuluu.

The students emphasized that the university hosts a large number of international students, which fosters intercultural exchange and broadens horizons.

“We met students from different countries. This helps us better understand other cultures and develop communication skills,” they added.

They also shared their impressions of Yekaterinburg, noting its beauty and developed infrastructure.

“In autumn, the city is especially beautiful – golden leaves, a mix of historical and modern buildings. Yekaterinburg is a harmony of history and modernity,” the students said.

Malika Kasymova and Nursuluu Mamatova are confident that participation in the academic mobility program will open up new prospects for their professional development. In the future, they plan to work in the field of information technology, particularly in data analysis and programming, and to contribute to the development of Kyrgyzstan’s IT industry.

“Don’t be afraid to take part in international programs. It’s not only new knowledge but also an opportunity to see the world – and yourself – in a new light,” the students emphasized.

The experience of Malika Kasymova and Nursuluu Mamatova is a vivid example of the successful participation of OshTU students in international educational projects aimed at strengthening academic cooperation and improving the quality of professional training.

Experience of an OshTU Student Studying at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Kazakhstan)

Mamatkadyrov Adilet Kabylbekovich, a second-year student of the Institute of Innovative Information Technologies at M. Adyshev Osh Technological University (OshTU), majoring in Applied Informatics (group IIVT-1-23), is currently studying under the academic mobility program at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (ENU), located in the capital of Kazakhstan – Astana.

“I’ve been in Astana for almost two months now. During this time, I’ve learned a lot, met new people, and gradually adapted to the new environment,” said the student.

According to Adilet, there are quite a few differences between OshTU and ENU.

“The first thing I noticed is the active use of digital technologies here. Most processes are automated, which greatly simplifies the work of teachers, students, and staff,” he shared.

In his observations, Astana is a modern and rapidly developing city where digitalization and innovation play a central role.

“Various IT events, festivals, forums, and hackathons are held here regularly. For example, I recently attended the largest Eurasian forum – Expo Digital Bridge 2025, which brought together well-known entrepreneurs, investors, and government officials, including Pavel Durov, Changpeng Zhao, Omar Al Olama, and Kyrgyzstan’s Minister of Digital Development, Azamat Jamangulov,” noted the student.

According to the organizers, the forum gathered more than 30,000 participants.

Sharing his impressions of the city, Adilet emphasized:

“Astana is one of the most developed cities in Asia. Its architecture and infrastructure are modern and unique. But there are also challenges — the climate here is very cold, so anyone planning to come should definitely bring warm clothes”.

Despite the new environment, the student remains committed to self-improvement:

“No matter what difficulties arise, I try to put education first – I study, explore, and gain experience. My goal is to apply the knowledge I acquire in the future and contribute to the development of my country”

In conclusion, Adilet addressed OshTU students with the following words:

“Study hard, seek knowledge, and never miss opportunities! Every step you take is an investment in your own future. So make use of every chance, grow, and believe in yourself”.

OshTU Students Gain International Experience in Portugal

Aruuke Tologonova and Sulayman Anarkulov Study in Lisbon under the Erasmus+ Program

Students of Osh Technological University named after M. Adyshev continue to actively participate in international educational programs. Within the framework of the Erasmus+ program, students of the Faculty of Economics and Management – Aruuke Tologonova and Sulayman Anarkulov – are currently studying at the ISEG – Lisbon School of Economics and Management of the University of Lisbon (Portugal).

The mobility program provides students with a unique opportunity to gain international academic experience, learn about a new culture, and expand their professional horizons.

Second-year student Aruuke Tologonova shared her impressions of the learning process:

“At ISEG, each student creates their own schedule. In every course, we study with different students, which helps develop communication and teamwork skills. Special attention is given to group projects and discussions – they encourage critical thinking and collaboration,” – says Aruuke.

She also noted that Lisbon made a strong impression on her with its atmosphere and culture:

“The city impressed me with its architecture, narrow streets, and proximity to the ocean. People here are very polite and well-mannered. I really enjoy the feeling of freedom and inspiration that this city gives.”

Third-year student Sulayman Anarkulov highlighted the differences between the education systems at OshTU and ISEG:

“At OshTU, classes are organized in groups where all students take the same subjects, while at ISEG, everyone can choose courses independently — according to their interests and goals,” –  he explains.

Sulayman also shared his impressions of life in Portugal:

“Lisbon fascinated me with its mild climate and the harmony of tradition and modernity. I was especially impressed by how beautifully history and innovation blend here. I also like the abundance of basketball courts and the famous Portuguese tiles – azulejos – which give the city its unique charm”

In conclusion, he added:

“A ship doesn’t sink because of the water around it – it sinks because of the water that gets inside. Respect your parents, pray, and believe that every hardship brings ease. This world is temporary, but the knowledge and experience we gain are priceless”.

Aruuke Tologonova also shared advice for future participants of international programs:

“Don’t be afraid to try something new. Participating in mobility programs helps you unlock your potential, improve your language skills, and build confidence. Use every opportunity – it’s through such steps that growth and success come”.

The International Relations Office of Osh Technological University notes that students’ participation in the Erasmus+ program contributes to strengthening academic cooperation between universities in Europe and Central Asia and enhances the competitiveness of OshTU graduates at the international level.
