NGA alumnus, Almazbek Suiunbekov who is a sophomore at AUCA majoring in Business Administration. When graduating NGA in 2013, he received an award “The Best Student of the Year”. He is one of the most active NGA alumni and a very successful AUCA student. Last year, Almazbek was placed on AUCA Dean’s List for excellent academic performance. Among his latest achievements is an exchange program at Hannam University in South Korea, to which he was accepted. Among many deserving AUCA students who applied to this University, Almazbek won the competition and is ready to undertake the rigorous curriculum that the Program offers. Almazbek shared with us that it was not challenging for him to win the competition:
“As AUCA provides various opportunities for its students, I decided that I must not miss such great chances and should benefit from them. One of such privileges is “Study Abroad” exchange program. To tell the truth, it was not too difficult for me to apply and be accepted to a semester long program at Hannam University. As part of the application process, I submitted my statement of purpose, resume, and recommendation letters and that was it. Of course, this does not mean that I did not work hard and spend a lot of time to come up with the best ideas for my statement of purpose, for example. This simply means that to win such kind of competitions I have been preparing myself from the very first days of my studies at AUCA, which started from NGA in 2013. I have been preparing myself for this for more than two years.
I am very happy and excited to study abroad, because I believe that it is the most effective accelerator of personal progress. It will enrich me not only culturally, but also will give me tons of useful academic information and business ideas, since it is going to be my major field of occupation. I am sure there will be plenty of business ideas in South Korea that are “blue oceans” in Kyrgyzstan and which are adoptable or, at least, I will learn innovative approaches to existing businesses in my country”.
