Elective courses are courses or subjects that students can choose at their discretion within the curriculum of a higher education institution. They are not mandatory for all students but are offered as additional opportunities to expand knowledge in areas that are not part of the core specialization.
Elective courses allow students to tailor their academic program according to their interests and career goals, and they contribute to the all-round development of the individual.
The regulation on the implementation of students’ right to freely choose academic courses at the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” can be found on the academic department’s website via the link.
A list of elective courses by semesters and educational programs offered by the department for the 2024-2025 academic year is available.
