When I applied to UCA, many people wondered why I went to study in the remote town of Naryn. But I knew that the quality of education there would be at a high level and UCA exceeded all my expectations.
Iskender Berdiev, Computer Science, Alumnus, Class of 2021, Software Engineer at Google
As a Computer Science graduate, I had the opportunity to explore a wide range of fields within the discipline, from software engineering to network systems. My passion for Data Science was sparked by courses in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, which provided a solid foundation for my future master’s studies and professional work.
Shahnoza Dodikhudoeva, Computer Science, Alumna, Class of 2023, Senior Data Analyst at Qatar Airways
At UCA I saw real programming for the first time. Thanks to the broad computer science corriculum, we covered everything - software development, AI, mobile development, robotics and much more.
Ilhomjon Sidiqov, Computer Science, Alumnus, Class of 2025, Software Engineer at io.net.
Pursuing my Bachelor's degree at UCA was unforgettable. I had a remarkable opportunity to study at both campuses and learnt about the diverse cultures of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Over the summer, I had a wonderful internship working at USAID in Monitoring and Evaluation. I was exposed to the real world, and learnt a lot about business ethics, data science, and data collection.
