Abstract

As a part of the elective, the invited experts from top companies participate in blocks of lectures, where they give basic knowledge of their sphere and share their experience. The program is divided into 3 parts: introduction to industries, consulting and finance. The invited experts’ objective – to tell students what a candidate needs to know when applying for job in each company or industry. That is why all lectures are aimed at specifics of work in a particular sphere. In addition, experts will solve cases with students that are similar to the projects they are working on. After the end of thematic blocks, multiple forms of control are carried out (tests, mini-projects, homeworks, case interviews). Students who receive the highest score for the elective will get an advantage in the selection process in companies, the speakers of which have been invited. Upon completion of the elective, all students will receive a certificate, which will be a good addition to the portfolio.
