Maqsut Narikbayev University (MNU) is strengthening its cooperation in the field of education with the Financial Monitoring Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan. University students now have the opportunity to pursue an additional specialization (minor) in financial intelligence and financial security.
The launch of the new minor took place within the framework of a memorandum between the Financial Monitoring Agency and the MNU International School of Economics. The program combines fundamental knowledge in accounting, finance, and data management, as well as an understanding of compliance and financial intelligence. Students will gain insight into the specifics of detecting and preventing financial crimes such as money laundering, tax evasion, and the financing of criminal activities.
The “Financial Intelligence and Financial Security” minor also includes an internship component and offers strong employment prospects. In addition, MNU serves as a core university for training specialists for the Financial Monitoring Agency. Previously, the university also launched a joint minor program with the Agency focused on the investigation of economic crimes.
It is worth noting that a minor allows students to develop new skills and acquire additional knowledge in areas beyond their main field of study, thereby broadening their academic and professional experience. Currently, MNU offers around 40 minor programs.
