The online ceremony for signing the agreement to commence operations took place on March 1 at Energo University, attended by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Sayasat Nurbek, and the President of the New York Film Academy, Michael Yang.
Classes at the globally recognized academy will begin on September 29 of this year at the modern campus located within the Energo University Creative Industries Park in the city of Kaskelen, near Almaty.
