Student Testimonials

Bekbolat Tagabai portrait

This program has been instrumental in shaping my career in finance and economic analysis. The program's focus on real-world applications and current financial challenges prepared me to tackle complex problems effectively. The faculty, composed of industry experts, provided insights that extended beyond textbooks. Their experiences enriched our discussions and prepared us for actual challenges in the finance field. The program emphasized quantitative methods in finance, portfolio management, and analysis of financial markets, which have been invaluable. 

Since graduating, I have experienced a substantial impact on my career trajectory. The skills I acquired enabled me to secure multiple job offers. I currently apply advanced financial modeling and data analysis techniques daily, directly benefiting from the knowledge gained in the program. Additionally, I work as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Accounting and Finance at Kazakh Agrotechnical University named after Saken Seifullin, one of the leading departments in the region for training highly qualified personnel in accounting and finance.

I can say where I was before actually starting on my grad degree, and I can feel where I am now, and I can see there is a difference. Certainly there was positive change. The knowledge I obtained from my degree is practical, things that we’re going to implement in the industry. The faculty were really good. Some of them have both industry experience and also have teaching experience, which is good for us students.
