Writing about different topics related to higher education, I decided to
devote my last post to Kazakh-Turkish Suleyman Demirel University (SDU), where
I studied four years and took my bachelor degree. The reason why I intended to
write about SDU is because I really love this university and I want others to
know more about one of the best universities in our country, as SDU exists to
give students not only a high quality education, but also to give life lessons.
The university was officially opened
in 1996 by presidents of two countries: the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan
Nazarbayev and the former President of Turkey Suleyman Demirel (sdu web site,
2015). SDU is located in south capital of Kazakhstan, in Almaty. Despite he
fact that SDU is the private university, a lot of graduates from different
parts of our country wish to study there. And the establishment of Nazarbayev University
does not so strongly influence on it. SDU has a smart campus, which can hold 7000
students, but I am not sure about the exact number of students enrolled in
education in SDU (sdu web site, 2015). Moreover, SDU is one of those minority
HEIs in Kazakhstan that gives an education in English language. While reading
the mission of the university, I caught myself in mind that SDU is really
following its mission, creating a learning environment for students and
fostering good relations between educators and students (sdu web site, 2015).
SDU is the connecting bridge between
two cultures of Kazakh and Turkish that appreciates the diversity in cultures.
Walking around Nazarbayev University, I found some similarities between NU and
SDU, as the places that unify people of different cultures, religions and
values. However, I feel that SDU does not only integrate those people, but also
create an atmosphere of brotherhood and solidarity.
To sup up my post, I want to say that SDU is a place, where you found
that the values of life can not be only tangibles, that people and their attitudes
towards others are most valuable in this life. The example of SDU proves:
despite the fact that university has a good financial support, capacity and it
gives quality education for students, but fostering people without life values is
the wasting of time.
Reference:
Thank you for the post about the university I like, as you, too. SDU is also part of my undergraduate life, where I spent all that funny, studious days. The university is really friendly, you can leave your thing, not being afraid that someone will steal it. The other thing I like is that you can spend a good tea time with your professor, there is not a hierarchical way of teaching. Out of class, you can be in friendly relations with professors, in class you are one of the students, equal to others. The cooperation with Turkey make this university differ from others, and it is obligatory to learn Turkish language. It is good because you will know not only English language but, in addition, Turkish language too. The thing that make me upset is the tuition fees, increasing from year to year. If two year ago I paid 510 000 tenge for year (4th course), this year the students are paying 750 000 tenge (1st course).
