• Official institutional information https://tpu.ru/sveden/common/

  Official institution page with general information about the object.

  Used as the primary public source for the object card.

• Additional Specialization Modules https://iot.tpu.ru/dop/

  The official page defines an additional specialization module as a required 9-credit block of three non-profile courses for full-time bachelor and specialist programs.

  Students choose a module from more than 20 options, confirming a minor-like model while the main program remains fixed.

• General Professional and Special Elective Courses (Simple) https://iot.tpu.ru/elektiv/

  The official page describes elective courses as mandatory for study, but defined by the content and curriculum of a specific educational program.

  The simple model requires choosing one course from the program's predefined list, which corresponds to restricted electives.

• University-Wide Elective Courses https://iot.tpu.ru/ed/

  The page shows that university-wide elective courses are required for master's programs when such a block is included in the curriculum.

  Used as a limitation: for bachelor programs, this page does not confirm free course choice from a university-wide pool.

• University-Wide Optional Courses https://iot.tpu.ru/fakultativ/

  The official page explicitly describes optional courses as non-mandatory and chosen according to personal interests.

  The source separates broad optional-course choice from the required part of the educational program.

• Curriculum Plan 09.03.04 Software Engineering, 2024 https://up.tpu.ru/view/detali.html?id=31044

  The bachelor curriculum plan in software engineering includes a 9-credit additional specialization module and a program-specific specialization module with predefined alternatives.

  Optional courses are placed in a separate block outside the 240 credits of the main program.

• Curriculum Plan 15.03.04 Automation of Technological Processes and Production, 2023 https://up.tpu.ru/view/detali.html?id=32049

  This engineering bachelor curriculum repeats the model with an additional specialization module and a specialized variable module inside the specific program.

  The source confirms that course choice is organized as program alternatives rather than a free university-wide pool.

• Curriculum Plan 22.03.01 Materials Science and Materials Engineering, 2023 https://up.tpu.ru/view/detali.html?id=29055

  The materials science curriculum shows the same structure: a required additional specialization module, a specialization module, and separate optional courses.

  Used as a check in another subject area where choice remains restricted by the program curriculum.

• Higher Education Monitoring 2025: TPU https://monitoring.miccedu.ru/iam/2025/_vpo/inst.php?id=296

  The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 12,685 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.

  The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 65.23% and master students are 24.58%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
