Internationally Accredited Degree Programmes

 

The Accreditation Agency for Study Programmes in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics (ASIIN) is a non-profit association founded in July 1999. Since then it has provided expert support to German and international universities in the implementation of accreditation procedures on the programme and institutional level. It is a leader nationally and internationally in the accreditation of programmes in engineering, the natural sciences, mathematics, computer sciences as well as in medicine and economics. The following MNUE degree programs are accredited by ASIIN.

  • The “Teacher, Mathematics Education” programme (D011401) is the package of programmes aimed to prepare mathematics and informatics teachers. Accredited by ASIIN on 2018, and extended until 2023.
  • The “Teacher, Natural Sciences Education” program (D011402) is the package of physics, chemistry, biology and geography teaching programs. Students study full time on daily basis and graduate with a bachelor degree in Educational studies, and are eligible to teach Biology at lower and upper secondary school levels. Accredited by ASIIN on 2021, and extended until 2024.

Physics Teacher Education

The Teachers’ institute was founded to train 5-7 grade secondary school teachersstarting from the academic year of 1951-1952 by resolution 178 of August 9, 1951 of the Ministers’ Council of People’s Republic of Mongolia and one of the first four departments was the Mathematics-Physics department to train “Mathematics-Physics teachers”. Since the academic year of 1960-1961 the Mathematics-Physics department has been divided into 2 departments as the Physics department and Mathematics department to train Physics-Mathematics teachers. The historical background of the Physics-Mathematics department started from this point and existed till 1990. In 1996, Physics and Technology School was established with two departments as Physics Theory and Physics Technology departments which trained Natural Sciences teachers, Physics and Mathematics teachers, Physics and Electronics teachers, and teachers of Informatics. Since 2014, the above mentioned two departments have been merged into the Physics department with a sole aim to offer Physics teaching program.

Currently the department provides educational services for training Physics teachers, in-service training and retraining of them, and runs advanced programs for masters and doctors, as well as conducts research in the field of physics and physics teaching. The department faculty membersare actively involved in major national projects, secondary school physics standards, curriculum, guidelines, textbooks and teachers’ books development.

Over the years the department has gained a substantial experience in teacher education and prepared more than 4600physics teachers with bachelor degree. It is also worthwhile to note that many generations of our graduates (the first involvement in 1960) as well as the current staff of the department serve as authors of the national physics standards, curriculum, core curriculum, textbooks, teacher’s books, workbooks, and recommendations for secondary schools.
