Educational program "Geography" and "Chemistry"

Our university currently offers six educational programs: Chemistry, Chemistry IP, Chemistry-Biology, Geography, Geography IP, and Geography-History. The Chemistry program is also available at Master’s and Doctoral levels.

The main goal of these educational programs is to prepare highly qualified, socially responsible, and professionally competent teachers who are ready to meet the demands of modern education.

Students enrolled in Geography-related programs study such disciplines as General Physical Geography, Cartography and Geoinformatics, Physical Geography, Geographical Research Methods, Geography Teaching Methodology, Regional Studies, Economic Geography, and other specialized subjects.

Students of Chemistry-related programs study Chemical Structure and Functions, Chemistry of the Elements of the Periodic Table, Chemical Analysis and Diagnostics, Chemistry Problem Solving, Methods of School Chemistry Experiments, Chemical Technology, and other specialized disciplines.

The content of the programs is closely aligned with the updated school curricula in Chemistry, Geography, Biology, Natural Science, and History. This ensures that graduates are well prepared for professional teaching in modern educational settings.

Faculty members and students actively participate in international, national, and regional scientific and practical conferences. These include conferences on geographical education, environmental management, pedagogical innovations, sustainable development, natural science education, and contemporary issues in science and education.

Student research is an important part of the educational process. Research activities begin in the early years of study and gradually become more advanced. Senior students are encouraged to participate in research projects, prepare scientific papers, and present their results at scientific conferences.

International and inter-university cooperation is another important area of development. The educational programs maintain partnerships with a number of schools, universities, and educational institutions, including:

• Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Chemistry and Biology;
• Akmulla Bashkir State Pedagogical University, Ufa, Russian Federation;
• University of Kragujevac, Serbia;
• Shakarim University, Semey;
• Toraighyrov University, Pavlodar;
• Dostoevsky Omsk State University;
• General education schools of Pavlodar city and Pavlodar Region.

Graduates are qualified to work in secondary schools, technical and vocational education institutions, and other educational organizations, regardless of their form of ownership or departmental affiliation.
