Digital networking and continuous monitoring of the news have become an essential part of today's connectivity. Being a freshly graduated student or experienced alumni is a different stage of our life and there are many treasures in our huge alumni community. Damilia Arzybekova, our alumni volunteer, created the BudapestMate social media pages to encourage young people with exciting alumni life after studies and show carrier-ways with various professional backgrounds.

I have always loved helping people and since I graduated this year I wanted to share my experience as an international student in Hungary. After a long and busy preparation season, I started a page on Facebook called BudapestMate. It is a blog for people to get familiar with Hungarian universities and programs. It’s a guide to help students with everyday matters, a news page about events, especially about various webinars on the ANH website, and a great chance to connect with peers. |
Let’s read my first interview with Anara, a recent graduate from MATE agricultural biotechnology, who does cell therapy and treats cancer!
“ … Well, whenever you look into the academic sphere, you have to look at the number of publications, I'd say. Also, how many of the lecturers are actually doctors and professors? So, I wanted to have as many doctors as possible for my studies. In my Bachelor's, there were a couple of them, but in Hungary, they were 100%, and all of them were doctors, which was way better in my case. And I believe that the knowledge that they have could be completely different from the knowledge that we had in my country because I was taught one way and this one way got stuck in my brain.
Whenever they were like raising one of the topics, I was like, Oh really? Because I was taught differently. So different perspectives on Hungarian education and Kazakhstani helped me out. Also, I was looking into do they have biotechnology in particular. Because I know that some of the universities were having biology, but not biotechnology.”
