    PREVIEW (10:50 June 9 - 10:00 June 10)

     

    During this period you will be able to log into SmartWay to get acquainted with the interface, and look through the list of available courses and time slots. Please look through the instructions

    Your main goal for this stage - prepare for the selection

    You should: 

    1. look through the list of available courses 

    2. get acquainted with courses’ specifications (content, format, estimation formula, whether a course implies any selection and what are the selection rules, or it is speed-based) 

    3. look through available time slots. 

    Note all the courses you find suitable to send applications during the actual selection faster. 

    FIRST SELECTION ROUND (COURSE SELECTION) 10:50-23:59 June 10

    Please look through the instructions

    Your main goal for this stage - select courses.

    Please note! Master's students will be able to select MagoLego courses during the second selection round only on June 19.

    During the first selection round, you should follow 3 steps:

    1. Open “My curriculum” section in the SmartWay system; 
    2. Look through the list of elective courses and available time slots; 
    3. Send applications for selected courses. 
    • For courses with no additional selection application status (Approved/Declined, no places available) form a few minutes up to an hour during periods of peak demand  (during this period the application will have “Application in processing” status) ! Places are distributed according to the time the application was submitted.  
    • For courses with competitive selection applications will be approved or declined by a professor based on selection rules stated in the course abstract or based on the student's rating. 
    • You won’t be able to apply if the maximum number of applications has been reached. 

    Then there is a selection process - you will see its results before the start of the second selection round in your SmartWay account: all your applications for the courses that imply competitive selection will receive “Approved” or “Declined” status.

    SECOND SELECTION ROUND (TIME SLOTS AND ADDITIONAL COURSE SELECTION) 10:50-23:59 June 19

    Master's students are able to select MagoLego courses

    Your main goal for this stage - select timeslots for all courses starting in the 1st and 2nd modules. 

    You should select time slots - groups in which you will attend lectures and seminars. Students themselves are responsible for schedule overlaps. 

    ! If you do not select any time slots for a course you have selected during the first selection round–your application for this course will be automatically withdrawn. 

    During the second selection round you also may 

    • change your selection – withdraw applications submitted during the first round. 

    • submit applications for courses with vacant places. In this case, you can only submit course and time slot applications together. 

    END OF CAMPAIGN: AFTER JUNE 25

    All chosen courses and time slots will be added to your study plans. Check your personal schedule, LMS gradebook and the list of courses in SmartLMS. If there are mistakes, you can inform the study office via the online-form no later than June 30. If there are no comments from you, your study plan will be considered completed and correct.

  • What to select during the elective campaign in June

    Investment Decisions, M&A and Restructuring

    • Students can replace or remove a course from their curriculum if no more than 10 (ten) working days have passed after the start of the respective course. For MOOC-courses the 1st day of the respective module is considered as the start of the course.
    • If you do not participate in the elective campaign in SmartWay and do not compose your ctudy plan and schedule yourself, it will be only possible for you to enrol on the courses with places available. If a student does not select courses via any means, the courses for such a student may be assigned by the academic supervisor of the programme.

You can find the list of courses you are to study and take an exam in this year/module in your Grade Book in LMS. Please pay special attention to this matter and correct your study plan in time.
