On October 16, the presentation of IAEA certificates to graduates of the FBIUCS Master's program "Management in the Nuclear Industry" took place at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI in a telecommunication mode with the IAEA and the Republic of Kazakhstan. This educational program was developed jointly with the IAEA experts and was launched at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI in 2016 (IEEE-INMA Master Program "Nuclear Technology Management").
Since 2021, undergraduates from the Republic of Kazakhstan, most of whom are employees of NAC Kazatomprom, have been studying under this program along with our students.
The teachers of FBIUX and IAFiT participate in the implementation of this program. The graduate department is the Department of Business Project Management (No. 72) of FBIUKS. Graduates of this master's program receive, along with a diploma from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI in the field of Management, an IAEA certificate reflecting the compliance of the educational program with the requirements of the IAEA for managers in the field of nuclear technology. In 2025, 12 masters completed their studies under the program, 6 of them were employees of NAC Kazatomprom JSC, which is the national operator of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the import and export of uranium, rare metals, and nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants.
