The guidelines & FAQ for offering elective courses at Innopolis University
General information about elective courses
What is an elective course?
An elective is a course chosen by students based on their interest.
There are two types of electives: technical and humanities. Some of the electives we have offered during the last couple of years are:
- Technical Electives: https://eduwiki.innopolis.university/index.php/List_of_BSc_Technical_Electives
- Humanities Electives: https://eduwiki.innopolis.university/index.php/List_of_BSc_Humanitarian_Electives
What should be the content of an elective course?
The content and topics can be suggested by the instructor who is delivering the course. If you are hesitating as to what exactly to offer we can help you out.
Generally speaking, we welcome industry-related subjects. The main criteria are two:
- subjects have to be suitable for students given their background;
- subjects must not repeat the core subjects that students take during their degree. (See: core subjects by each year BSc & MS)
Some subjects of interest to our students could be: Industrial Programming in Java; Backend Development with Kotlin; Advanced С++: New Language Concepts, Features and Mechanisms; UX/UI design; Back-end development with Python.
Example subjects we are already delivering: Introduction to Quantum Programming; Front-end Web Development; Programming in Haskell; Introduction to Game Development; iOS Development with Swift; Cross-platform Mobile Development with Flutter.
