Professor Galina Seitmagzimova,

Head of the Department “Chemical Technology of Inorganic Substances”

Shymkent, Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan, Astana, October 2018

The contents of the doctoral educational programme

- theoretical course;

- research work, including implementation of a doctoral thesis;

- practical training (pedagogical, research); scientific internships;

- intermediate and final attestation.

The structure of the Cycle 3 (PhD) Programs contains two components: educational (20%) and scientific (80%).

Doctoral educational programmes correspond to the 8-th level of National Qualifications Framework, industry frameworks, 3-d cycle of the European Qualifications Framework and the 8-th level of The European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning; they are developed based on a classifier of specialties of higher and postgraduate education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Research based learning

Acquired competences: the abilities to

a) apply the skills of scientific abstracting and quoting when publishing papers on scientific research;

b) effectively work with modern printed and electronic sources of scientific information;

c) conduct an independent scientific research in accordance with main phases of the research work

d) – develop independently a scientific mini project in and apply it for native or international competition for grant financing

Research workshops for doctoral students are held in the university’s library for learn to use databases and various subscription publications

Research methods used in doctoral studies of technical direction

Problem based learning : analysis of problem industrial situations and their solving to choose optimal technological mode, most effective ingredient for a reaction mix, etc. based on acquired theoretical knowledge

Doctoral training with a combination of laboratory and practical classes; they are the middle link between the in-depth theoretical work and knowledge application in practice.


Laboratory classes and research are conducted at the

department and at the study-research-and-production

complexes at the partner enterprises

Infrastructure for training doctoral students

• The organization of students’ research work in doctoral studies is implemented at graduating departments provided with highly qualified scientific and pedagogical personnel, necessary laboratory-research and scientific-methodical bases.

• Doctoral students have free access to the laboratories to fulfill research works


Current control of the research work of doctoral students

• Current control of doctoral student research work of is held by consulting commissions. To assess the current control, the results of research work are recorded by students at the end of each semester in the form of a report.

• When doctoral student assessing for current control, supervisors and consulting commissions assess the following parameters:

a) quality of the experimental work;

b) the number and quality of presentations at scientific / methodical seminars;

c) quantity and quality of scientific / methodical publications on the research theme


Results of research work of doctoral students

• At the end of each academic term students defend research results at the scientific and methodical seminar

• Results of research work:

1-st year of study:

• Detailed analytical review on the doctoral thesis theme

• Formulation of the research problem and working plan

• Selection of techniques of experiments, analyses and data processing

• Report on the student teaching

• Attestation on research results

in 1 and 2 semesters

Results of research work of doctoral students

2-d year of study:

• Collection of factual experimental data

• Development of data collection methodology

• Evaluation of data reliability and adequacy for research work completion

• Report on the exploration practice

• Attestation on research results in 3 and 4 semesters

• 3-d year of study:

• Experimental research results processing and optimization

• Probation of laboratory research results

• Scientific internship results defense

• Results’ publication and a final report (preliminary thesis defense and recommendations for defense)


Doctoral seminars, classroom and extracurricular work of

doctoral students in the study room for doctoral students

delivered by “Erasmus+ C3QA” program


Scientific internships of doctoral students at foreign

universities and domestic enterprises

• At the Kazan Federal University (Kazan, Russian

Federation)

• Internship at Technical University Munchen

(Germany)
