The Coursera platform, created by Stanford University professors, today unites more than 77 million users worldwide. It opens access to courses of leading universities—Yale, Berkeley, Caltech, and many others. Thanks to the initiative of the MSHE RK, students of Kazakhstani universities got the opportunity to study on Coursera for free.

Kozybayev University has actively joined this program:

-in the last academic year, 100% of the university's students completed training under the "AI-Sana" program aimed at developing competencies in the field of artificial intelligence ;

-about 2,200 students received Coursera certificates, which became a serious confirmation of their knowledge and skills.

Author's courses of the university's teachers are also presented on the platform. Thus, the course "Analysis, Modeling, and Forecasting" by Professor, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Head of the Department of "Economics, Accounting, and Finance" Dinmukhamed Shaikin became available to a wide international audience.
