The need for education is undeniable. It is the key to success and career growth. High competition in the labor market forces young specialists (and not only) to acquire additional knowledge in related professional fields. Yesterday's graduates educational institutions and experienced specialists want to get a second higher education. “How long to study?” - a question that worries each of them.
Who gets a second higher education and why?
There are many reasons why people pursue a second degree. This is either a banal habit of studying, or a necessity of life, or simply because there is nothing to do (“let it be”). If we look at the statistics, 61% of students receiving a second higher education are working specialists. What prompted them to do this was the desire to climb the career ladder. Indeed, often to build a successful career you need to have knowledge in related areas of work. The remaining 39% include those who do not like their first profession, who work outside their specialty, who hope for a salary increase, etc. For example, an accountant can get a second degree Teacher Education, realizing that numbers are not his calling, or wanting to make a childhood dream come true. People strive to radically change their lives thanks to a second diploma.
Which form of training is best to choose?
You can choose any: full-time, part-time, evening or part-time. It all depends on the intended goals and capabilities of the person. Most often, full-time students are those who do not yet have any work experience. Evening uniform involves studying three to four days a week. Class times are usually from six to nine. During combined training, classes are held both during the day and in the evening. The most attractive form of obtaining a higher education diploma is by correspondence.
Many people who want to get a diploma cannot attend classes for various reasons: for health reasons, because of the territorial location of the university, etc. This problem can be solved by receiving a second higher education remotely.
Requirements of higher educational institutions
There are no age restrictions for applicants to study. At any age you can get a second higher education. How much to study will depend on many criteria, including how much the first specialty and the second, desired, differ from each other.
The basis for enrollment is a diploma of first higher education. It is worth noting that some universities set restrictions. They only accept students who have graduated from state or accredited commercial universities.
As for the training period, with complete re-profiling due to the large number special items it can be increased.
Upon admission, an agreement is concluded with the educational institution, which specifies the terms, conditions of study, a list of subjects studied and payment terms.
The main difficulty is the training schedule, because most often people receiving a second higher education already work somewhere. For such students, sometimes there is an opportunity to study individual plans. But most often educational institutions adhere to standard programs.
Second higher education: how long to study?
Citizens who already have one diploma can be enrolled in both the first and subsequent courses. At the same time, the university independently decides how many tests and in what form an applicant who wants to receive a second higher education will take.
How much to study mainly depends on the specialty obtained during the first training. If the content academic disciplines is radically different, the training period can reach five years.
Also, training at a university can be carried out on a reduced basis. educational programs. This decision is made educational part and depends on what subjects and to what extent the person has previously completed. In this case, the duration of the program cannot be less than 1.5 years.
In what cases does the period of obtaining education increase?
The duration of study can be extended by a year in two cases. Firstly, when developing an individual curriculum for combined and correspondence forms.
Secondly, by provision It can be provided in the presence of medical indications or in other exceptional cases.
How can you reduce the training period?
When calculating the duration of training, the disciplines already studied and passed during the first education are taken into account. This process is called re-offset. It includes the recognition and inclusion in the new academic list of previously obtained grades.
In addition, the possibility of reducing the duration of study depends on the student’s abilities. There is a possibility early delivery exams. According to the rules, such consent can be given by specific educational institution. To do this, you need to write an application addressed to the rector, after which the individual curriculum will be changed.
Distance higher education
A second higher education, distance education, implies a traditional form of education, but at a distance. That is, as when entering a regular institute, you can choose both full-time, correspondence, and combined forms of study.
It runs throughout the semester. Most often, enrollment is carried out twice a year: before the start of the next semester. But there are also universities that are not tied to the semester.
The most popular directions for obtaining a second higher education
Currently, among many areas, the most popular are law, pedagogy and economics. According to demand there are quite a large number of proposals.
For example, most applicants strive to obtain a second degree. This is due to the fact that everyday life confronts us with problems in which knowledge of rights and laws would simplify their solution. Therefore, the number of institutions producing certified lawyers is increasing every year.
