At the Faculty of Pedagogy of YKSUG, the English-medium Master's programme for international citizens from the People's Republic of China has entered its active summer phase.

Currently, the educational process is organized for 20 Master's students in the specialization 7-06-0111-01 "Scientific and Pedagogical Activity" (groups МДП-НПД-254 и МДП-НПД-255), as well as for 81 Master's students in the specialization 7-06-0114-02 "Educational Management" (groups МДП-ОМ-253, МДП-ОМ-254, МДП-ОМ-246, МДП-ОМ-247).

The educational process is structured according to a hybrid model, combining in-person classes during the summer period and during academic holidays with distance learning formats. Such an organization of the educational process allows for flexible training and the integration of international educational experience.

During the implementation of the programme, systematic and comprehensive educational processes have been achieved. Special attention is paid to the integration of the competency-based approach, and clear mechanisms for assessing the theoretical and practical readiness of students have been developed. The programme has a distinctly practice-oriented and socio-cultural focus. The developed educational and methodological support allows for the effective combination of academic depth with applied skills.

The implementation of the programme contributes to increasing the international attractiveness of Belarusian higher education and the formation of a sustainable interest in studying in an intercultural and English-language environment. As a result, Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno achieves a high level of quality education that meets modern requirements.
