History of the Faculty of Natural Sciences
The Faculty of Natural Sciences was founded in 1950 as the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Geography as part of the N. Baiganin Pedagogical Institute. In 1958, it ceased to exist after the closure of the institute. Later, in February 1978, the Faculty of Natural Sciences was re-established at Aktobe State University named after K.Zhubanov. The first graduates of the faculty graduated in 1983, among them were 43 teachers of chemistry and biology, 16 of them received a diploma with honors.
In 1982, the Department of Chemistry and Biology appeared as part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. A.R.Sadykov became the first dean. At the beginning of its existence, the faculty was headed by: M.D.Dryamova, associate professor B.G.Podlibner, associate professor A.M.Sarsenov, associate professor E.G.Urazaev, professor S.A.Aipeisova and senior lecturer S.M.Brudnaya.
Then Maria Dmitrievna Dryamova, a graduate of the Leningrad Agricultural Institute (Faculty of Plant Protection), the Orenburg Agricultural Institute and a graduate student of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, was appointed head of the faculty.
The Faculty of Natural Sciences maintained scientific relations with scientific research institutions of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Kazakh SSR Academy of Sciences, the USSR Academy of Sciences and higher educational institutions of the Republic. Candidate of Biological Sciences O.H. Abdrakhmanov, together with the staff of the Institute of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR, conducted experiments on the entomopathogenic fungus and fish Aplocheilus, listed in the Red Book of the USSR and the Kazakh SSR.
Teachers such as A.R. Sadykov, A.T. Saginaev, E.G. Orazaev, S.I. Aipeisova conducted scientific research on environmental problems of the Aktobe region, namely, they were looking for ways to purify water from chromium, boron, harmful substances, etc. Under the guidance of associate Professor S.A.Aipeisova, scientific research was conducted to study the flora of the Aktobe region.
Since 1990, departments with the Kazakh language of instruction have been opened. In 1995-2000, the specialties "chemistry-biology" and "biology-geography" were opened. In 2004, the training of specialties in one area was started under the credit system.
Since the establishment of the faculty in different years (during the period of separation and reunification of the university), the faculty has been led by qualified scientists and teachers in the position of dean:
