TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT
The Department of Media Communications and Public Relations is a cornerstone academic and scientific division that harmoniously integrates modern media trends with classical academic foundations. The faculty is dedicated to ensuring that students not only acquire theoretical knowledge but also evolve into competitive specialists through immersive experiences in real-world professional environments. Each year, students of the department complete internships at the country’s leading media holdings and prestigious corporations, honing their skills in the field. Furthermore, during research, pedagogical, and pre-graduation internships conducted under the direct methodological guidance of the department, students successfully synthesize academic knowledge with scientific and professional practice. The Attestation Commission consistently awards high marks for the level of preparation and the quality of work presented by the students. This serves as a clear testament to the relevance of the educational programs and the efficiency of the department’s practice-oriented teaching system. Graduates of the department are competitive professionals ready to enter the global media space and demonstrate their high potential on an international level. They represent a new generation of experts capable of shaping modern media standards and contributing significantly to the industry's development.
The results of the "Best Internship Base – 2026" competition, held in honor of the 30th anniversary of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, once again highlighted the high professional standing of the Department of Media Communications and Public Relations. This achievement is rooted in years of systematic effort and the expertise of distinguished educators.
In particular, the dedicated work of Senior Lecturer Aibarsha Zhaksylykkyzy in organizing student internships was highly commended by the University leadership, earning her a special Letter of Appreciation from the Rector. For many years, Aibarsha Zhaksylykkyzy has contributed significantly to strengthening the partnership between the university and industry partners.
