The master students conduct their research at the production facilities: "Foodmaster-Shymkent Company" LLP, "Sairam-sut" LLP, "Altyn-Dan" LLP, "Shymkent-sut" LLP, "OrdabasyKus" LLP, "Gulmaira" LLP, "Balmuzdak" LLP, etc.
Training is provided with the support of the South Kazakhstan Region State Administration and the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the South Kazakhstan Region. For the development of joint actions in the training of personnel on the basis of the University, the Regional Innovation Forum has been provided.
Visit of the Minister of Science and Education Aslan Sarinzhipov and the South Kazakhstan Administration Mayor Beibut Atamkulov to the experimental and technological line for milk processing and dairy products.
Currently, the foreign universities-partners for the training of personnel in the educational programs "Food Engineering and Food Safety" and "Safe Technologies for Processing Agricultural Products" are, such universities as the best universities in Europe in the field of food and food safety sciences: the Ghent University (Belgium); Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain); University of Padova (Spain); University of Plovdiv (Bulgaria); Latvian University of Agriculture (Latvia); National Research University of Information Technologies and Optics (Russia).
With the participation of foreign partner universities and employers' representatives, the modular educational programs have been developed.
The Ghent University (Belgium) is in the TOP 100 universities of the world in the Shanghai ranking and ranked 129th in the QS rating. The Polytechnic Valencia University (Spain) is the 67th position by the QS rating, the Padua University is the 169th in the Academic Ranking of Universities of the World.

The Scientific Center for Food Engineering and Regulation of Food Safety is equipped with experimental technological lines that allow to process milk with obtaining of various dairy products, processing meat to various meat products, as well as a line for the production of dried vegetables and fruits. Research equipment makes it possible to carry out research on the quality of raw materials and finished products
Fundamental research preparation of the Master students is carried out in the Regional Laboratory of Constructional and Biochemical Materials, equipped with research equipment of the latest generation.
The services of the master students are the scanning electron microscope with systems of energy-dispersive microanalysis, the scanning spectrophotometer, the Variant Pro Star high-effective liquid chromatograph, the inductively-coupled plasma spectrophotometer with mass spectrometric detection, the gas chromatographic mass spectrometer.
The analytical capabilities of the laboratory allow for the researches to conduct studies of materials and microstructures at the nanoscale level with a high accuracy of the obtained results.
Professor of Latvian Agricultural University (Latvia) Inga Ciprovica conducts a master class on the experimental and technological line for milk processing and producing dairy products.
Laboratory classes on the "Equipment for processing milk and dairy products" discipline. The study of the device and the principle of operation of the equipment of the processing line for processing milk.
In general, 80% of the personnel requirements of the industries introduced by the Industrialization Map in the South of the country by 2017, it will be provided by graduates of the M.Auezov’ South Kazakhstan State University.
The implementation of educational programs for the training of personnel will become a contribution of the university in enhancing of the competitiveness of the national economy and the prosperity of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Academic mobility of master students and teaching staff of the educational program
On the base of the academic mobility, 5 master students were trained at Ghent University (Belgium), where, besides the theoretical training, they had the opportunity to visit the following enterprises: Fribora - deep frozen prefabricated enterprise, Cobelplast – production of films for the packaging, Avamoplast – manufacture of the packaging for food products.
At the Latvian Agricultural University (Jelgava, Latvia) two master students have been trained and they visited the “VICA” company-seafood production (Latvia)
One master student has been trained at the Padova University (Italy), and he has got acquainted with the cheese factories – “Grana Padano”, “Commakampanya”; factories for the production of soft cheese in the cities: Camolino, Santa Giustina and Cesomaggiore. Also under the program in the framework of GPIIIR there were advanced training and foreign internships for teachers’ staff of the Food Engineering Department and master students. As.Prof. G.E.Orymbetova and Senior Teacher G.O.Kantureeva from 28.09.2015 till 16.12.2015.have been trained Under the ITP program "Food Safety, Quality Assurance Systems and Risk Analysis". In total, more than 70% of the qualifications and foreign internships passed (20 people of teachers’ staff).
Currently, three master students are studying at the Padova University (Spain), two people are being trained at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain), one student is at the Latvian Agricultural University (Latvia).
