A successful success

Today we are talking about one of the outstanding graduates of the Department of Information Technology and Automation of KEnEU — Nursultan Kabden, who proves by his example that with the right choice of university and perseverance, you can achieve a lot.

In 2017, Nursultan graduated from the Eastern Mediterranean University. During the pandemic, he lost his job in Cyprus and returned to his hometown of Kostanay. At that time, he decided to enrol at KEnEU in the "Computing and Software" educational programme.

"During the pandemic, I began to actively study the IT field and got a job at Bi Group as a junior data analyst. I felt the need to get a second higher education. I chose KEnEU because it provides all the necessary basic knowledge for an IT professional" shared with us Nursultan.

Today, he heads an entire department and recently returned from the United States, where he studied in Silicon Valley — the world centre of high technology and innovation, home to giants such as Meta, Google, and Microsoft. At Stanford University, one of the best universities in the world, he took an intensive course in artificial intelligence. Participants visited leading AI companies, including Amazon's studio in Los Angeles. The tour of the headquarters of OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, made a particular impression

Nursultan is currently completing his studies at KEnEU and preparing to defend his thesis. According to him, the university has provided him with a solid foundation:
"They give you a good foundation in all areas of IT here. I learned how to develop websites and took two courses in HTML. The classes on leadership and start-up projects were particularly useful. KEnEU really trains cool system administrators — this has helped me a lot in my work and in leading my team.

Nursultan advises young people not to be lazy, as ambition helps you move forward:
"I would like to advise young people to be ambitious. That's the only way to achieve success.

Nursultan Kabden's story is an inspiring example of how education, ambition and determination can lead to real success. We are proud of our graduates!
