Corporate culture of the University as a factor in the development of international educational programs

Abstract

Using the example of the MEPhI Nuclear University, the role of the university's corporate culture in the intercultural adaptation of foreign students to study at Russian universities, as well as in the university's readiness for such new challenges as the implementation of international interdisciplinary educational programs and other educational initiatives, is substantiated. The article shows that the human resources potential of the university and the established corporate culture of the university are key factors in the development and promotion of interdisciplinary educational programs on the international market. The features of approaches to their development and implementation, as well as to the organization of teaching and learning activities of students, taking into account the mentality and socio-cultural interactions of representatives of different countries and cultures, are analyzed. It is shown that interdisciplinary integration changes the content of education to a more saturated and holistic one, activating the cognitive activity of students and forming integrated professional thinking. The authors identify the "three pillars" of interdisciplinary education in the field of nuclear medicine at MEPhI – the development of professional, communicative and entrepreneurial competencies aimed at training leaders and innovators. It is shown that in order to form flexible skills, a teacher should be considered not only as a leader and innovator in the educational process, but also as a friend and mentor in the socio-cultural environment of the university, helping to unlock the student's personal potential, taking into account and understanding different mentalities, approaches to learning and knowledge control in different countries. The authors of the article pay special attention to the special role of the university's corporate culture in the process of attracting, retaining and developing young professionals engaged in international interdisciplinary programs
