The Junior Training Program provides high-quality basic knowledge and experience that can be used to build the foundation of our student’s studies and careers. It balances differences in students' knowledge from varying social backgrounds and cultivates critical and open-minded thinking as well as improving writing and oral skills. By the end of the year, students must obtain a C1-level English certificate, for which we offer free language courses. Courses in the first year include Formal and Informal Logic, Political Philosophy, Economics, Argumentation and Debate Culture, Writing Skills, and Big Issues of the World. By the end of the Junior Training Program are students are prepared to enter the main University Program and join one of MCC’s six schools.
