For many years in Russia, higher education had only one step. Now there are three of them: bachelor ‚specialist and master. Students study for a bachelor's degree for four years ‚for a specialist - five to six years‚ for a master's degree - six. The main result of the reform of higher education: the Russian diploma is now quoted abroad.
Bachelor is a higher education
In the Russian state, teachers of the Theological Academy were called bachelors, their title lasted until 1869. This degree of higher education came to Russia from Western Europe, where the terms for preparing bachelors are different: from 3 to 6 years. In France, for example, even those who graduated from high school become bachelors. This opens up an opportunity for graduates to enter universities. In Russia, the title of bachelor allows you to enter the magistracy.
So, a bachelor is a higher education, or rather, its first level is basic. Education takes place in 4 years, and for applicants who have behind them secondary vocational education - for 3 years.
Content Characteristics of Undergraduate
Bachelor is a higher education, which is focused on practical training.
In addition to compulsory general educational disciplines, students study general professional subjects. In this way, students receive fundamental broad-based training in the areas that they choose.
The training is completed by final certification, according to the results of which graduates are assigned the qualifications “Bachelor” and diplomas are issued to obtain higher professional education.
What gives a bachelor's degree
Bachelor is a completed higher education. Having such a diploma allows applying for a job to apply for those positions whose qualification requirements provide for higher education.
For those who decide to devote themselves to science or teaching, a bachelor’s diploma will be an important and necessary step on the way to entering a master’s program, in which it will be necessary to study for another two years. However, although a bachelor is considered a higher education, holders of this title will not be able to enter graduate school . First they must become masters.
Distinctive features of three degrees
The training of bachelors and specialists in the first two courses is almost the same. But from the third year, their curricula are still different. Bachelors receive mainly theoretical, wide-profile knowledge, and specialists receive practice and narrow specialization. Two additional years of study are provided for undergraduates, and they are aimed at scientific activity. Undergraduates, as a rule, leave the walls of the institute by experts in a specific field of science.
Significant advantage
A bachelor's degree allows its holder to change the direction of his studies. For example, after receiving a bachelor’s degree in economics, you can enter the magistracy in the field of “jurisprudence”, etc. In addition, with a bachelor’s diploma, you can enter foreign universities or try your luck at foreign companies. After all, a bachelor is a higher education ‚and its holders have every prospect of succeeding in the professional field.
Note
The mantles of the bachelor and the master differ in the shape of the sleeves: in the second they are long, in the first they have a closed shape and a cut in the elbow.
Headgear differs among students and graduates in the arrangement of the brush. On the confederate cap of the student she is on the right ‚and on the graduate is on the left. After graduation, a special ceremony takes place: graduates transfer tassels from one side of the Confederate to the other.
