Educational and industrial practice

Under the educational program B072 – “Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technology,” 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-year students undergo academic, industrial, and pre-graduation internships in accordance with the curriculum.
The main purpose of these internships is to consolidate theoretical knowledge, develop professional skills, and gain practical experience in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing. The content of the internships becomes progressively more complex at each academic level, aiming to enhance the professional competencies of future specialists.

During the internship, students become acquainted with production processes at leading domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, including LLP “Abdi Ibrahim Global Farm,” LLP “Viva Pharm,” LLP “Clever Medical,” LLP “Nur-Mai,” LLP “Fitoleum,” LLP “Dolce-Pharm,” LLP “Antigen,” and LLP “Kelun-Kazpharm.” These enterprises operate in accordance with modern GMP standards and provide valuable opportunities for developing students’ professional experience.
