Elective disciplines - disciplines that are part
of the profile, contributing to the deepening
of the individualization of profile education.

The catalog of elective disciplines (hereinafter CED) is a systematized annotated list of all disciplines included in the elective component.

  • elective courses should be presented in the form of certain natural trajectories, indicating the previous disciplines, the mastery of the tools of which is necessary to understand the following;
  • CED should provide students with the opportunity to choose an alternative choice of elective academic disciplines.

The CAD should contain the following information: the name of the university, the name, and cipher of the specialty or the OP code, the academic year for which this CAD is being developed, the approval and approval of the CAD at a meeting of the methodological council of the university, indicating the protocol number and date.
Next comes the QED table containing the following information: blocks of elective disciplines on cycles of general education disciplines (GED), basic disciplines (BD), and profile disciplines (PD). For Master's and PhD studies, only the DB and PD cycles are filled in.
Then the name of the discipline is indicated, prerequisites (preceding the study of this discipline); post-requirements (studied after this discipline), the complexity of loans, a summary of the main sections of the discipline, the purpose of the study, the expected results of the study.

The content of elective disciplines must meet the necessary requirements: relevance, scientific character, research nature, connection with practice, take into account professional specifics, as well as the research activities of teachers.
