An integral part of the educational system of our country are non-state universities. They began to be created during the period of serious state transformations. Many non-state universities are located in Moscow. Every year they offer applicants paid educational services. The private educational institutions existing in the capital have a wide variety of specialties, ranging from economic to medical.
How to choose one of the huge number of offers? To make the right decision, it is worth considering non-state universities that have a certificate of accreditation.
Why is accreditation important?
In recent years, Rosobrnadzor conducted a huge number of inspections at non-state universities. Many of them were deprived of a certificate of state accreditation and even a license. Those educational institutions that have a license continue to operate without a certificate of state accreditation. However, applicants who intend to enter such universities should consider their decision. The certificate of state accreditation is an important document. It allows the university to issue state diplomas and provide students with deferment from military service.
Educational organizations that do not have a certificate of state accreditation can issue diplomas of the established form. With such a document it is more difficult to get a job. With him, you can’t apply for posts in the budget and public service, you won’t be able to enter graduate school.

Advice for applicants
Before entering a university of your choice, selected among the listed educational institutions or other educational organizations, you should definitely ask the employees about the availability of a certificate of state accreditation. The fact is that any institution that had this document yesterday could be deprived of it tomorrow. Rosobrnadzor periodically conducts unscheduled inspections, the results of which revoke certificates of state accreditation and licenses from inefficient private universities.
It is also important to remember that non-state universities in Moscow receive very often negative feedback. You should not pay attention to them, because the level of knowledge cannot depend on the educational institution. If people want to learn something, then they can do it absolutely in any educational organizations (even if they enter non-state universities). Thus, it all depends on one’s own desires and aspirations.
