Is it possible to credit special courses at the university?

In case of successful completion of the course, you can get a certificate for presentation at the educational department of your university. For this you need:

For students of the faculties-partners of the Foundation (Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, MSE MSU), statements are formed centrally and sent by the Foundation directly to the faculties before the end of the examination session.

Everyone who signed up for special courses always have the opportunity to be in the status of a free listener on the course.

Special courses of the Fall semester:

Starting this year, we also offer electives - compared to special courses, they have a lower load.

The course load is expressed in credit units (1 credit = 36 academic hours):

special courses "weigh" 3 credits;
electives "weigh" 1 or 2 credits.
