About us

The department "History and geography" is one of the first departments at our university. It trains specialists in educational programs: "History", "Geography", "Geography-History". Our graduates become competent historians and geographers who are in demand in the field of education.

There is a circle "Orkenyet", which contributes to the formation of knowledge in the search and processing of information: here they teach to establish links between the past and the present, to conduct research activities, to develop the thinking and communicative abilities of students.

We pay great attention to practical skills. Since 2004, our students and teachers of the department, together with the International Research Center "Archaeologist", have been carrying out archaeological excavations in the previously unexplored medieval town of Utyrly (Utirtobe), which is located in the Maktaaral region.
