The Department Agriculture and Bioresources

Training of students in agricultural specialties by the teaching staff of the department "Agriculture and Bioresources" was conducted initially on the basis of the Semipalatinsk Zootechnical and Veterinary Institute, since 1996 - at the Semipalatinsk State University named after Shakarim, and since 2013 - at the State University named after Shakarim of Semey, at this time-NAO "Shakarim University of Semey". In 1996, several departments were created, which are currently the basic departments of Agriculture and Bioresources: - The Department of "Morphology and Physiology of humans and animals" - the Department of normal anatomy of domestic animals, the Department of Normal pathological Physiology, the Department of Histology, Embryology and Cytology of the Semipalatinsk Zootechnical and Veterinary Institute, the Department of Anatomy and Physiology, the Department of Zoology, the Department of Sports Physiology of the Semipalatinsk Pedagogical Institute, the Department of Morphological and Physiological Disciplines of the Semipalatinsk Technological Institute. - Department of "Animal Husbandry and breeding" - Department of feed production, Department of large animal husbandry, Department of feeding, Department of Breeding and Genetics, Department of Mechanization, Department of sheep breeding. Then it was renamed the Department of "Animal Husbandry, Breeding and fundamentals of life safety". In 2005, the Department of " Morphology and Physiology of animals "was renamed the Department of"Biology". In 2005, the Department of "Animal Husbandry and Agronomy"was formed from the specialties of the departments of the faculty. In 2009, the named department was renamed the Department of "Agrotechnology". In 2013, it was renamed the Department of "Agrotechnology and Forest Resources". In the same year, the Department of Biology was renamed again and called "Animal Husbandry and Hunting". The Department of Agriculture and Bioresources is headed by Nurzhanova Kulsara Halimardenovna, Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor. The staff of the teaching staff includes 16 full-time teachers. The degree level of the teaching staff of the special department is 56.3 %, including doctors of sciences-3; candidates of sciences-5; PhD-1; masters-6. The uniqueness of the OP department is that students receive practical skills in real production conditions. Professional types of practices are conducted in leading enterprises and organizations of the East Kazakhstan Region and the Republic of Kazakhstan. The elements of dual education allow you to consolidate theoretical knowledge in practice. The educational program provides an opportunity to obtain training results and acquired competencies that meet the requirements of employers. Students have the opportunity to form their individual learning trajectory taking into account the modern requirements of training specialists, which allows them to logically complete their education in the chosen field of training. The choice of additional competencies is large – it is economics, ecology, biology, engineering geodesy and information technology. The department conducts comprehensive training of students, i.e. technologists study crop production, agronomists – animal husbandry, foresters - biological disciplines, which allows future specialists to better navigate in the branches of agriculture. All this, ultimately, increases the competitiveness of the graduate. The teaching staff of the department actively participates in the harmonization of the OP, is interested in the innovations of other universities. As far as possible, it introduces innovations in its OP. Teaching staff and students actively participate in the academic mobility program.
