I was given an incredible opportunity to get a high-quality education at one the best universities of Kyrgyzstan, AUCA. Those four years have made a huge contribution to my intellectual, professional, and personal growth. My interest in mathematics led me to economics as my future profession; however, I fell in love with it.

Meder Akeneev is a recent alum of the Department of International and Business Law. In the Fall, he will be heading to Budapest, Hungary, to continue his education with a Master’s at Central European University (CEU). Meder took a moment to reflect on his time at AUCA and give advice to our current and future students:

A child’s university education should be taken seriously. Not only is it nearly a half-decade of their time, it creates a solid foundation for success in life. The New Generation Academy preparatory program enables high school graduates to make the most of their time at university by providing them with proficiency in multiple foreign language, communication skills, and critical thinking.
