The focus of MGIMO undergraduate programs as a whole will shift towards the liberal arts model, towards the development of universal competencies, supplemented by the opportunity to form a unique set of knowledge and skills through independent choice disciplines. This model will increase the flexibility of the system and quickly replace unclaimed courses with more relevant ones. In master's programs we will deepen specialization, focusing them on a specific industry. All MGIMO programs will be structured based on the forecast of demand for competencies over a horizon of three to five years. through a more systematic involvement of employers and our partners in the field of education in the process of updating programs. The transition to new teaching methods means increasing the role of independent work, preparation students to cases, reasoned defense of their position, development of group and individual projects.
