You will not see such a unique event as the AUCA orientation program at any Central Asian university. It started as a week-long team-building event for freshmen and evolved into a two-week program combining team-building and preparation for freshmen! The Orientation Program will introduce students to important intellectual, cultural, and artistic ideas that serve as the basis of humanitarian education and give them an understanding of the "unique spirit of AUCA."
The Orientation Program for first-year students is designed to facilitate the transition from previous study experience to the one that will be at the university. This year's academic program is held under the motto "The Sound of Silence". The study is full of academic, social, and socially valuable activities that contribute to the development, freedom, and values of AUCA as a humanitarian university.
The purpose of the academic sessions is to introduce the interdisciplinary and complex learning process at AUCA, which includes a creative and, at the same time, exciting learning experience and intensive writing in a wide variety of genres. Students will read, research, and work hard on texts using written and other creative approaches. It may be challenging to imagine what can be expected in the first weeks of study at the university. Still, our goal is to provide an opportunity to get an idea of the complex and unique culture of intellectual learning at a humanitarian university in Central Asia.
The Orientation Program is a great way to start an exciting journey into university life and beyond, make new friends, and gain unforgettable memories. By actively participating in planned events, freshmen receive a tremendous amount of information that will be useful to them throughout their studies at the university.
Students not only learn important information about academic issues, institutional policies, and rules but also become part of our university, get to know their peers, and get their first experience participating in various extracurricular university events.
