Five More MNU Academic Programs Receive Prestigious FIBAA Accreditation

Academic programs at Maqsut Narikbayev University have once again been recognized for meeting international quality standards. Five additional programs have successfully obtained accreditation from the renowned European agency FIBAA.

The decision was recently approved by the FIBAA (Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation) Accreditation and Certification Committee. Following the committee’s review, five programs offered by the School of Liberal Arts were awarded the FIBAA Quality Seal, confirming their high academic quality, compliance with international standards, and alignment with global best practices.

The Bachelor’s program in Psychology and the Master’s program in Applied Linguistics received initial accreditation for a period of five years. In addition, three programs were granted reaccreditation for seven years: the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Translation Studies, as well as the Bachelor’s program in Applied Linguistics.

FIBAA is one of Europe’s leading accreditation agencies, specializing in the evaluation and accreditation of higher and continuing education programs in business, law, and the social sciences and humanities. The agency conducts a comprehensive assessment of academic programs, evaluating everything from institutional strategy and academic governance to the contribution of graduates to their organizations and society. In addition to FIBAA, MNU’s academic programs are accredited by a number of internationally recognized professional and accreditation bodies, including QAA, CIMA, ACCA, ICAEW, CIM, HRCI, GARP, CFA, and CEEMAN.

Earlier this year, MNU also improved its standing in the prestigious Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026, further reinforcing the University’s growing international reputation.
