Minor
Additional education profile of Academic Consortium "IUK"
MINOR (additional profile) is an important component of the new educational model of the bachelor’s degree. This is a block of four interconnected disciplines of a non-core area of study for the student. For example, a future economist can gain additional knowledge in programming by choosing to study the Minor “IT”, and a future software engineer can gain additional knowledge, skills and competencies in economics or management by choosing to study the Minor Economics or Management
