SADYRBAEVA AIDANA ABATKYZY
In 2022, graduated from SDU University with a degree in “Media Studies and Journalism”. My professional expertise is in media and public relations. After completing my studies, I worked as a Public Relations Manager (PR Manager) in the press office of the Mukhtar Auezov Kazakh National Drama Theater, where I was responsible
for media relations and public communication strategies. Currently, I serve as an Editor in the press office of the Kazakh National Women’s Pedagogical University, overseeing editorial content and media communications.
The master’s thesis is titled “The Production and Presentation of Information on Religious
Extremism and Terrorism in Kazakh Media: A Case Study of the Documentary Film Zhusan”.
Pursuing a master’s degree has provided me with a deep understanding of contemporary
media trends, advanced analytical skills, and the ability to critically evaluate media content
and its societal impact. The program’s practical components have enhanced my journalistic
expertise and given me comprehensive knowledge of the media industry and communication
strategies

KANATBEK ARAILYM MAULENKYZY
Graduated from SDU University in 2024 with a degree in Media Studies and Journalism. Since 2020, I have been working in the press service of a government institution. Both before and during my studies, as well as currently, I hold the position of editor in the Press Department of the Akimat of Nauryzbay district in Almaty.
The thesis is titled: “The Image of the Police in the Media (Case study of the Polisia.kz portal and the official Instagram page of the Almaty City Police Department).” The master’s program, guided by experienced professors, prepared me for all areas of modern media. It enhanced both my theoretical knowledge and practical skills, helping me to conduct research, analyze data, and transform it into concrete results. It also enabled me to write scientific articles and explore current issues in the media.
This research has deepened my understanding of how to shape an organization’s
image and manage strategies during a crisis. I believe this will help me advance my
career and become a highly qualified specialist in the future.

BOLEK SULU ZHANASKYZY
Graduated from SDU University in 2025 with a degree in Media Studies and Journalism. I have over three years of experience in informational journalism and have recently transitioned into the field of public relations. Prior to this, while studying, I worked as a correspondent for the “Tengrinews” and “Massaget” websites.
The thesis is titled: “Gender Issues in Journalism during the Colonial Era.” This research involved a content analysis of the 20th-century publication Әйел теңдігі (Women’s Equality) and the 21st-century magazine Қазақстан Әйелдері (Kazakhstan Women). By analyzing media from two different centuries, I examined how societal messages have evolved and how the representation of women has been portrayed. During my master’s studies, I developed skills in critically analyzing media and assessing its impact on society. Through the practical component of the program, I learned how to focus on key aspects of research, apply research methods, integrate them into the theoretical framework, and adhere to the proper academic writing style.
