Second- and Third-Year Focus Group

2nd- and 3rd-Year Student Focus Groups are conducted to explore the academic experiences, social engagement, and well-being of sophomore and junior students at Nazarbayev University. These studies complement institutional surveys by providing in-depth, qualitative insights into the evolving student journey beyond the first year.

The focus groups aim to capture the nuanced perspectives of second- and third-year students. This mixed-methods approach helps uncover shared challenges, evaluate academic and co-curricular support systems, and gather student-driven recommendations for enhancing programs, services, and campus life.
