End of school marks for manygraduates beginning of a new life stage - entering the higher educational institution. The future of the child largely depends on the choice of the educational institution, and therefore it is necessary to do it consciously. And the first thing that should be paid attention is not the feedback or reputation of the institution, but the conformity of the chosen direction of preparation of the profile of the institution.
Surprisingly, by determining the place of receipthigher education, it is important to focus on professional programs. The profile of the institution determines the availability of certain disciplines in accordance with the curriculum. Before applying for admission to the selected university, you must first familiarize yourself with its educational program.
So, what does the direction of training mean?To implement the basic educational programs of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia standards have been approved, therefore, for each level of higher education today operates its GEF. Accordingly, it is inadmissible to conduct training in a bachelor's degree or a specialist in master's or graduate school standards. Thus, our country guarantees the functionality of the created system of professional personnel of different profile and specialization, which the national economy and the business sector need.
Each GEF provides dozens of enlargedareas of training, which, in turn, include several specialties. For example, 11.00.00 "Electronics, communication systems and radio engineering" is the basic enlarged direction with specialties:
Further it is necessary to name division into profiles onthe direction of education provided for by federal standards. At the same time, each educational institution has the right to create unique education profiles in the appropriate order and to approve them in the Ministry.
As already mentioned, the choice of directiontraining and specialty must be approached responsibly. Despite the general blocks of fundamental disciplines that are part of the educational program of profiles of a particular specialization, each of them has unique subjects that take into account the specifics of the graduate's profession in the future. That is why, when getting acquainted with the list of training directions, applicants should know that all of them can include dozens of profiles. For clarity, as an example, we should consider the specialty "Construction", which presumes variants of professions in the areas of construction that have nothing in common with each other:
Thus, to get acquainted with the educationalprogram is necessary long before submitting documents to the university. After getting an idea about the professional block of disciplines of the curriculum, it's easy to guess which graduate of the institution will be the owner of what profession.
List of training directions and specialtiescan be found on the official website of almost any university, but it is unlikely that you will quickly find profiles and corresponding educational programs. The thing is that the statutory documents of the institution are obliged to publish data on the quotas of budget and contract places in this or that specialty. The university may not detail the professional programs related to each direction. At the same time, most educational institutions that have a transparent reputation do not hide the profiles of education and indicate them in the section "Admission Committee".
This information may be contained in anothersection of the site. Often information about the profiles are present in the description of the institution itself, its structure. But if the list of directions of training and specialties of higher professional education is open and accessible to every visitor of the site, information about profiles is often deliberately hidden from entrants. The reason for this may be the unpopularity and unclaimedness of a certain educational program in comparison with a profession that sounds more prestigious and attractive for those who enter. Such an unscrupulous step is undoubtedly beneficial for the university.
By the way, in the context of the above,note that most applicants do not see any fundamental differences in the concepts of "direction" and actually "specialty". In fact, in general, these two terms do not have much in common. The main difference is the difference in the periods of training. In accordance with the Bologna process, knowledge in the areas received bachelors and masters for four and two years respectively. Here, rather, there is a question of a form of training that meets European standards and provides students with the widest range of opportunities for building a personal training plan. Thus, by the end of the bachelor's degree, students become holders of higher education diplomas, which allows them to officially find a job.
But for those graduates who would like toTo continue studying to improve their qualification level or change the professional direction, there is a magistracy. After graduating, the graduate can become the owner of two professions and two diplomas on higher education.
When choosing a specialization and profile onlyattentiveness and caution will save the incoming from making a mistake. Unfair educational institutions for the purpose of increasing income sometimes include in the list of professional programs profiles that do not correspond to their general specialization.
The most common and profitable from the point of viewthe view of the commercial system of providing educational services is the profiles of "Design", "Economics", "Management", "Jurisprudence", and therefore when entering a university for which these specialties are not profile, you should not lose your vigilance and be on your guard - that this educational organization sets a goal to improve its financial position.
Of course, exceptions come from all the rules, butso as not to fall for deception, it is advisable to conduct a serious analysis of the institution before submitting the documents. Particular attention should be paid to the following points:
Most of them are higher educational institutionshave a balance of contractual and free places on this or that specialty. Demanded universities have more budgetary places for students than paid ones. The prevalence of contracted places for programs over free ones is an occasion for additional information gathering on the account of the quality of the provided educational services in this organization.
Having become acquainted with the list of specialties anddirections of preparation of higher education, remember that the university is not only a place of study for students. Each university can be called a place of accumulation of knowledge, the development of a scientific school and the formation of new ideas about scientific and technological progress, culture and art. However, it is impossible to concentrate forces on all directions at the same time.
