Diploma - in three years: how to get higher education in a shortened or accelerated program. Free higher education in Russia How to get higher education easier

The phrase "free education" has long become a humorous expression. In the new socio-economic conditions in which our country has lived since 1991, the right to study exists, but no one guarantees that such services will be provided completely free of charge.

Consider the issue of eligibility for such education at a university.

So is there any hope for today's high school graduates?

There is certainly such a hope. Many of the graduates of this year and the following years will study at budgetary places, receive a long-awaited scholarship. Many, but not all.

After all, a completely free education in the Russian Federation is provided only in schools, and even then there are paid additional educational services. It is also possible to study for free in colleges and universities, but not everyone who wants to find themselves in such places.

If you have a benefit (you are a disabled person, an orphan, a son or daughter of a Hero of Russia), then it is easier for you to get a university place on a budgetary place, but if you are not one of the beneficiaries, everything becomes much more complicated, and you apply on a general basis.

And to enter a university for a budgetary place on a general basis is very, very difficult.

But more about everything.

All about budgetary places in universities

Each year, the Ministry of Education determines the number of budgetary places in our country. As you know, such places assume that an applicant who enrolled in a university will receive his education completely free of charge (that is, without investing his personal funds in it), and also the state itself will pay him another small material incentive (in other words, a scholarship) ...

However, if the applicant does not score enough points for admission to a budgetary place, he can study in a paid department, making each semester a certain fee for his studies at the university (naturally, he will not receive any scholarships).

Here, it would seem, budget-funded places in universities - this is a real free education. However, everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance.

After all, then our education system would be just perfect, and this is far from the case.

Number of budget places

The number of budget places is calculated by the number of school graduates. It is equal to about half of all eleventh graders in the country who leave the walls of high school.

At the same time, not every second graduate of the school eventually enters a budgetary place at a university, because in addition to yesterday's schoolchildren, there are also college graduates, as well as graduates of previous years. As a result, across the country, the competition for budgetary seats averages 4-5 people per seat. For some specialties, the competition is less, for others it is several times larger and reaches 20-30 people per budgetary place.

It all depends on the prestige of this or that specialty.

Therefore, with such "arithmetic" it becomes much more difficult to get a free education at a university.

The number of budgetary places in full-time and part-time departments

It should be noted that the number of budget places in full-time and part-time departments, as a rule, differs. Higher education institutions allocate more places to full-time departments, and less to correspondence departments.

It also happens that it is generally impossible to get a correspondence education for free. There are specialties in universities, but they are completely transferred to a paid basis.

The only thing that can be advised to the applicant is to collect as much useful information as possible. The exact number of budget places is always known in the spring. All universities have their own websites, where you can always find a page for applicants. The admission plan is always posted on this page.

Hence the advice - if you want to get a free education, do your best to achieve your goal. Find out in advance the number of budget places for a particular educational profile and calculate your strength.

What specialties can you apply for free?

There is a fairly large number of specialties in universities that are considered not prestigious, so there is little competition for them.

Trends, of course, change over time, but in general there are always such professions.

For example, every fifth or sixth large university has teaching specialties, which involve training with the qualification “teacher of the Russian language”. And there is another department, after finishing which you can get a diploma no longer as a teacher, but as a philologist or journalist. Of course, the last two professions are considered more prestigious, therefore there is more competition for the budget for them.

The same can be said about other professions: livestock technician, specialist in socio-cultural activities, librarian, and so on. Here it will not be difficult for a school graduate with an average USE score to enter a budgetary place.

But, for example, it will be much more difficult to become a lawyer or economist for free. And as a specialist in international law - and even more so ...

What is a target location?

However, there is another opportunity for free. It is connected with admission to the so-called "target" place.

What is this about? About the fact that an agreement is concluded between the employer of a potential applicant and the university, according to which the employer pays for the education of a young student, and then he has the right to demand that the specialist work for him for a certain number of years. Often such an employer is the state itself, represented by ministries and departments that need specialists of a certain kind of training.

For example, doctors are needed for a subject of the federation (there is an acute shortage of them now). A quota of 30-70 target places is allocated for this subject. and studies on an equal basis with other students, however, after receiving a diploma, he is obliged to work for several years in public medical institutions of the subject, thanks to which he got his target place.

Otherwise, the student is obliged to reimburse the state for his education in full.

Is it possible to get professional retraining for free?

Some young people who already have higher education, over time, realize that the profession does not suit them.

But they have already received higher education for free once in their lives. They have a need to undergo professional retraining to engage in a new type of professional activity.

Is this possible? Yes, it is possible, but if budget-funded places in universities are still preserved, then additional professional education is offered exclusively as a paid type of educational service. Therefore, such a person, in fact, has two ways of solving his problem.

The first solution: pay for your own tuition.

Second solution: try to get the employer to pay.

In fact, there are cases when employers are interested in raising the level of professional skills of their employees and even giving them the opportunity to get the right to engage in a new type of professional activity.

This can be used to get a professional retraining diploma for free.

Is it possible to get a second higher education without payment?

Unfortunately, according to the law on education of our country, it is impossible to get a second free education at a university. The state guarantees only one education. Let's make a reservation right away that we are not talking about continuing education, for example, in a magistracy or graduate school.

But, alas, it will not be possible to study twice for free at the bachelor's degree or to stay in the master's program twice. This applies even to those cases when the first higher education was also paid for.

Is it possible to transfer from a paid branch to a free one?

Many students who enter the paid departments of universities, sparing their financial resources, and sometimes simply not having enough of them, tend to transfer from the paid department to the free one.

Thus, they want to get higher education for free, only starting not with the first year, but a little higher.

Is this possible?

In general, this is possible, but there are certain nuances that you need to know.

First, a paid student can get a budget-funded place only if there are vacant budget-funded places in the university. Simply put, if one of the state-funded students was expelled. Further, it is necessary that his translation was coordinated with the curator of the group, the dean of the faculty. Many universities prescribe the rules for transferring from a paid department to a budget, indicating that such a student-candidate for a budgetary place must be an excellent student or good, must show his best side, his teachers must speak positively about him, etc.

If secondary education was received for free, is it possible to enter a university on a budget?

Yes, such a procedure is possible. Secondary specialized and secondary vocational education will not prevent a young person from continuing his studies at a higher educational institution. Moreover, college graduates today have an opportunity that school graduates are deprived of: they can enter universities without the Unified State Exam, passing only entrance exams.

Moreover, practice shows that such applicants receive higher scores on entrance exams than school graduates, so they are more likely to get a budget place.

What can help an applicant get a budget place?

Well, firstly, good knowledge in the field of those sciences that he will have to study. A high USE for a modern school graduate is a "real ticket" not only to a budget place, but also to a prestigious university.

Secondly, the applicant needs to show real ingenuity, study carefully all those specialties that are offered in universities, find out what kind of competition is in these specialties, etc.

Thirdly, the applicant must know their rights well. Nowadays, members of admissions committees, at the suggestion of university leaders, refuse to accept documents for budget education for far-fetched reasons. This is done in order not to admit “people from the street” to budget education. Therefore, the applicant himself and his parents must firmly know all their rights and be able to defend them.

Are there other opportunities to get a budget place?

Basically, we have listed all the ways to a budget place above. There are, however, several more ways. For example, there are free contests from the Ministry of Education. The prize for winning them often becomes the right to a budget place in a particular university. Also, in rare cases, a university can accept a promising student not for a budgetary place, but for a place that he himself will finance from his own funds.

Thus, in general, everything depends on the will of the heads of universities themselves and the executive secretary of the selection committee.

What conclusions can be drawn?

Based on the above, we can conclude that it is possible to get an education free of charge in modern conditions. However, this requires a lot of effort. It is also necessary to have high academic performance, to be able to navigate the modern labor market, to competently choose the right specialty and the right university.

In fact, today, despite the significant progress made, it is also difficult for a person dreaming of knowledge and an academic degree to prove their worth, as in the time of M.V. Lomonosov. What did the Russian genius not survive to get the proper degree of education: deprivation, hunger, and cold. Meanwhile, he also studied at public expense, that is, in modern terms, he took a budget place.

His example proves that those who want to study can get higher education for free. Therefore, everything is in our hands: our successes and our defeats. You just need to boldly go forward and not be afraid of anything.

I would like to comment on the situation as a teacher (from the other side of the barricades, so to speak). I talk a lot with my students and many tell why they entered and why. Often forced by parents and grandparents. Often a person does not know what to do after school, why not go to a university? Often girls believe that education is such a kind of dowry, it is more interesting to talk to an educated wife. Many go, because "nowhere without a tower." And only a small part comes to receive education with adequate expectations and understanding of the process.

In my opinion, in order to answer a question worth it or not, it is necessary to consider several trends and facts.

1. In general, all people do not need a higher education. There are a huge number of jobs and specialties where a person needs a specialized secondary education or just a secondary (completed school). For example, to work as a waiter, receptionist, secretary, courier, barista, it is enough to finish school and undergo on-the-job training. If this kind of suits you (they pay for it, by the way, often higher than for the work of specialists with higher education), then higher education will simply be a loss of 4-6 years of time (for which you will earn money at work and maybe get a couple of promotions ). Many students want to get practical work skills and algorithms (do it once, do twice, here's the result), they want a specific craft, on the income from which you can live. This is a good request, but it is essentially a request for secondary specialized education. And this is not necessarily about electricians, plumbers and car mechanics. There are also hairdressers, manicurists, system administrators, jewelers and many, many others. These are good, necessary and paid professions. You can make a career in them and see the result of your work. Again, if you like that, then a college degree will again be a waste of time and a loss of profits.

2. Unfortunately, the attitude of people towards higher and secondary special education is not the same.Higher education in our country is still perceived with respect and honor. And about the secondary special they often speak with disdain (for example, "fu, some kind of birdie", "this is for stupid", "why couldn't I enter a poor university?). I think this is completely wrong. This phenomenon is rooted in Soviet times, when specialists with higher education worked in more comfortable conditions, received much higher salaries and moved up the career ladder. Higher education was about 20% of people, and getting a degree was a powerful claim for social success. The memory of those times is still alive in the minds of our parents, grandparents. The situation, however, has completely changed since the mid-1980s (30 years have passed, but the stereotypes have remained). The demand for specialists with higher education is not as great as the supply (thousands of university graduates are not in demand). And, conversely, the professions of a make-up artist, administrator or call-center operator are much more in demand, they pay more for them and a higher education is essentially not needed there. Why waste 4-6 years?

3. Higher education now performs the functions that used to be performed by secondary education.Previously, the school did not hesitate to leave for the second year children who did not master the school curriculum well enough. The "one" grade was in use and the two had to be earned. No higher requirements were imposed, just the requirements were met more consistently and clearly. By the end of school, a person had not only a basic set of knowledge, but also a number of social skills sufficient to start an adult life. Now a school graduate is rarely ready for something. The certificate is given to everyone, repeaters are drawn up to grade 11 (even if they don't really know the 7th grade). But in the end it is necessary to send these people somewhere, so that they still "mature", acquire communication skills, understand how, what and where. And now they are sent for another 4 years to the university, to learn the mind to the mind. This is not about a full-fledged higher education, this is about socialization and entering the culture. + Of course, now there is objectively more information and a more complex social structure, people grow up later than before (a global trend).

4. The quality of higher education leaves much to be desired (this applies to both conventional and top universities).There are many reasons for this. This is also a massive exodus of teachers in the 90s. And insufficient funding, insufficiently high salaries. And excessive bureaucracy, endless checks. And as I wrote above, the level of training of applicants is not always sufficient (and often it is not about knowledge, but about the ability to plan your time, communicate politely with teachers, independently complete assignments without super-detailed instructions, the ability to motivate yourself, etc. ).

5. Ultimately, higher education for many is a way to get some kind of magic crust.Its magic lies in the fact that parents and relatives will leave him alone. The magic is that the employer will not show off (and the employer requires a higher education both where it is needed and where it is not needed).

Is it worth it or not?

If you just want to quietly earn money, the content of your work activity itself is not so important for you, your relatives put pressure on you, and you want to “be no worse than everyone else,” then it IS NOT WORTH. You will lose several years of your life without seeing the meaning in your actions. Get less professional experience and money that you could get if you immediately went to work.

If it is important for you to be engaged in any specific work or field of activity that requires in-depth training. If you want to engage in teaching and / or scientific activities. If you want to gain deep knowledge not only about how to do a specific job, but also about how society and the world work. If you are determined to self-development in the intellectual sphere. Then WORTH.

In fact, the normative documents describing the system of higher vocational education, shortened and accelerated programs are allowed. But who has the right to enroll in them? What is the peculiarity of studying? Let's understand the concepts.

ACCELERATED PROGRAM

An accelerated training program is provided for those who decided to master the basic educational program in a shorter time. To switch to accelerated training, you must write an application after successfully passing the first session (intermediate certification). Then the academic council of the university (faculty) decides whether the student can switch to accelerated learning. Then an order (or order) is issued, an individual training schedule is developed.

It's important to remember that the transition to accelerated learning is voluntary. The student at any time has the right to abandon the accelerated program and switch to the full program of study. On average, the term of study can be reduced by no more than one academic year.

REDUCED PROGRAM

An abbreviated training program can be organized by the university for those who already have secondary vocational education of the relevant profile or higher vocational education. The transition to the program is also voluntary. Before submitting documents to the admissions office, you need to find out if the university has abbreviated training programs. If yes, then whether there are specially formed groups (then enrollment will be made for the first year in such a group) or not - then you will be added to the students already studying for subsequent courses.

The university itself makes a decision on the formation of groups of students for reduced programs. Features of training are prescribed in the admission rules.

It is worth remembering that the period of study is reduced not due to the fact of having a previous education, but solely due to the transfer (for persons with higher education) and recertification (for persons with secondary education) of previously completed disciplines and the number of hours listened to.

If you have a diploma of higher (incomplete higher) professional education, then:

Subjects that are similar in name and content to the disciplines in the curriculum of the chosen university by at least 55-60% are subject to recalculation (i.e., the transfer of disciplines and grades for them from the previous diploma to the future). Usually, subjects of the humanitarian, socio-economic, mathematical, natural science block and general professional disciplines similar in content are reread. A reduction in educational and industrial practice is envisaged.

You can find out which disciplines will be transferred and what will have to be passed at the admissions office or at the faculty. Before arriving at the university, be sure to take with you a diploma and an appendix to it, on the basis of which the question of the number of re-read disciplines will be decided.

After enrollment, an individual schedule will be drawn up with a full list of disciplines that will need to be passed within a certain period. An important condition: students studying in a shorter period of time, with intermediate certification during the academic year, can take no more than 20 exams.

The term for mastering an abbreviated program is set depending on the profile of the previous higher education:

A profile that does not correspond to the education being received - at least 3 years (full-time), at least 3.5 years (part-time (evening) and part-time studies);
- a profile corresponding to the education received - at least 2 years (full-time), at least 2.5 years (part-time (evening) and part-time studies);
- for persons with a bachelor's degree and who wish to continue their studies in a specialty of the corresponding profile without a break in training - at least 1 year (full-time), at least 1.5 years (part-time (evening) and part-time studies);
- for persons wishing to obtain a master's degree - at least 1.5 years.

You should be especially attentive to those who have an old-style diploma (issued before 1996). Most likely, the term of study will be increased compared to those who recently received a higher education diploma. The fact is that in such diplomas, in addition to the lack of information about the hours studied, there are a number of subjects that are no longer in the modern curricula of universities (for example, disciplines of a Marxist-Leninist orientation: "History of the CPSU", etc.) - such disciplines are impossible will be re-read, therefore, the number of items that will need to be delivered will increase.

NOTE!

An abbreviated training program can be implemented as an accelerated one (usually no more than 1 year).

Mastering a shortened or accelerated program is voluntary. A student who, for some reason, cannot cope with the study, at any time, upon application, can be transferred to the full period of study for the corresponding main educational program (if it is available at the university and there are vacancies).

The university has the right to change, in comparison with applicants for the full term of study, the number, list and forms of admission tests (usually universities are limited to interviews or testing).

When mastering an abbreviated educational program, the study of optional disciplines may not be provided; upon the student's personal application, previously studied disciplines can be re-certified and re-read as disciplines established by the university at the student's choice.

In the absence of a diploma supplement, the student requests an academic certificate from the educational institution in which he received a higher or secondary vocational education, or a curriculum valid for the relevant period. Otherwise, it will not be possible to enroll in an abbreviated training program.

The terms of study should be the same for both state and non-state universities with state accreditation. Therefore, the offer to get a second higher education in one year should not please, but seriously alert: in this case, either the university does not have accreditation (and you will receive not a state sample diploma, but a filthy letter), or in the course of study it will become clear that you allegedly “do not have time »Read off all disciplines of the curriculum and extend the term of study (a common trick of some unscrupulous universities).

FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES

If you have a secondary vocational education diploma, then:

An abbreviated program is possible only for those who have secondary education of the corresponding profile. In other words, for example, if you have a diploma in the specialty "Jurisprudence", you can only study at the university in the specialty "Jurisprudence". If you want to continue your studies in an unrelated specialty (for example, "Management"), you will have to go to the full training program for the first year.

The term for mastering an abbreviated program for persons with secondary vocational education of the corresponding profile is at least 3 years (full-time) and 3.5 years (part-time (evening) and part-time studies).
