IC

Individual Curriculum

Every year, on the basis of an educational program and a catalogue of elective subjects, a student, with the help of advisers, generates an Individual Curriculum (IC).
IC determines the individual educational trajectory of each student separately.
IC includes theoretical disciplines (university component, optional component) and other types of educational activities (practice).

Disciplines

Disciplines by choice (elective disciplines) are an obligatory component of educational programmes (EP).
Purpose of the disciplines of choice is an in-depth study of nodal issues in a particular professional activity.
List of disciplines of choice consists of alternative courses and is focused on the individual needs of students.
When forming a trajectory, a student receives complete information in all areas, with a description of the content of the discipline and the results of learning.

University provides learning in those areas:

1. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT);
2. Telecommunications;
3. Business and Management.

ICT learners have the opportunity to define a trajectory in section 5 of EP:

6B06105 Media Technologies;
6B06104 Industrial Automation;
6B06103 Computer Science;
6B06102 Big Data Analysis;
6B06101 Software Engineering

Disciplines selection process

– Annually, the selection procedure for the next course is carried out between March and April of the academic year.

– Schedule of meetings between students and the editors is determined and is available in LMS Moodle.

– Meetings with students are held according to the schedule with presentations of elective courses.

– Trajectories of students’ EP within the ICT directions are determined.

– Alternative courses in all areas of learning are determined.

– In the list of elective disciplines when forming the trajectory, a student has the right to determine the priority alternative courses.

– IC, academic flows and groups are formed on the basis of the disciplines fixed by students in the support system.

Academic flows

– Academic flows and groups are formed on the principle of a sufficient number of students enrolled in this discipline and achieving a sufficient level of profitability.

– Filling of the academic flow in “Astana IT University” consists of 40-100 students and academic groups of 15-20 students.

Completion of enrollment in academic disciplines

– In the case of enrollment in a discipline that is not profitable (less than 15 people), the student’s IC gets the following discipline by priority determined by him during the selection.

– By enrolling in a particular course, the student must meet all course requirements.

– Selected courses are mandatory and their laboriousness must be in line with the curriculum.

– It is not allowed to change the selected course of study after approval of the IC.
