Environmental safety is one of the key priorities of the state policy of Belarus. The country is actively developing the environmental management system. This area requires qualified personnel who are able to develop and implement regulatory legal acts in the field of environmental certification of products, services, management and production systems. At the Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU), the Faculty of Mining and Environmental Engineering has opened a new direction for training specialists — "Environmental Audit and Environmental Quality Assurance", which has already attracted the attention of future professionals. In total, about 4.000 first-year students are already studying at the university in the new academic season in more than 50 specialties.
