Soft Skills is a compulsory part of all ITMO University’s Master’s programs, so you’ll have to choose one of the courses on offer. Based on their project results and practical classes’ performance, all students will receive a “pass” or “fail” grade at the end of the fall semester.
Starting from the 2019/2020 academic year, a new compulsory discipline “Effective Leadership, Conflict Management and Team Building” will be introduced into the curriculum for second-year Bachelor’s students.
