Alina Dyussenova

“From the first week we were straight into a real project — no warm-up period. My construction teacher used to work at Valentino: demanding, but you immediately understand why. Small campus, everyone knows everyone — that really helps at the start. The pace is exactly what made the difference.”

Fashion Design BA · 2024
Yerlan Seitkali

“I enrolled in Graphic Design — and it turned out to be a completely different scale than I expected. Street installations, work with city spaces, a project with the Milan municipality. A solid base of English covered everything I needed. Three years of growing both in projects and in thinking.”

Zarina Akhmetova

“At NABA I met curators and gallerists before I even graduated. The programme means constant contact with the real art scene: biennales, group shows, critiques with industry people. Now I run my own project in Almaty and know exactly who to call in Milan.”
