On August 15, 2017, 42 top students of School of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Science and Technology and School of Engineering (14 from each school) returned from an eight-week Visiting International Student Program (VISP) fully funded by Nazarbayev University that took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
Since 2014, the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison), a strategic partner of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, accepted 197 junior students of NU to the Visiting International Student Program (VISP).
Each NU student was registered as a full-time student at UW-Madison for the summer term with all related privileges and earned between 6-9 Carnegie credits. Students took at least one course with a research component and were free to choose any other course out of 160 offered this summer and approved by their advisors.
In addition to taking courses, a special cultural program with visits to historical and cultural sites was arranged. Nazarbayev University students established peer-to-peer contacts with UW-Madison students and helped them to learn Kazakh and Russian languages.
