Previously, everything was simpler: the graduate school received matriculation and was considered a person to receive a secondary education.It was the base for further study.Young people who want to chew on granite science, could enroll in vocational schools, technical schools and universities.The first two schools to issue diplomas of secondary special and the last - of a university degree.But now the situation has changed.Comes the applicant for the post - bachelor."It is a higher education or not?" - Thinks the employer.The question, at least in Russian, somewhat confused.We will try to understand it.
In countries that are included in the so-called Bologna process, Bachelor - is the lowest academic degree awarded to students who have mastered certain courses in high school.As a rule, they defended their final work before the National Certification Commission and received a diploma.Qualifications Bachelor of allowing such a person to continue their education.A graduating, he can become a master.
It seems that everything remained as it was.Bachelor - a young specialist with higher education consummated.A Master - is a person that has passed postgraduate and master's thesis.In the European Union and the United States the vast majority of graduates of colleges and institutes come into adulthood and found a job with a bachelor's degree.The Masters are only those pundits who are planning to do research and, in turn, become university teachers.However, western employer knows that sitting in front of him biting his competitor Bachelor science in college for at least four years (and a doctor - 5-6 years).Thus, the Bachelor "there" - a full university degree.
In Russia Bachelor - a high school student who after high school disaccustomed four years.After vocational or technical school - three or 3.5, depending on the form of education.However, as you know, in Russian universities and institutes students take five courses.Thus, the two-tier system, introduced in 2011, suggests that the first four years of the student masters only general discipline.Only in the fifth year of a person chooses a narrow professional orientation in a given direction.This so-called specialty."Bachelor of psychology" - is one example of a high school graduate.There is another option."Specialist family psychology" - is an example of the second type of student training.
Diplomas, which are issued by such graduates, black and white indicates that the bachelor - is the highest completed education.The document also notes the profile (direction) of the young specialist: law, economics, management.However, the student has received only basic skills mastery.This has its pros and cons.Of course, four years - it's not five years old, and Bachelor significantly loses specialties, and the more the master.But on the other hand, Bachelor - a person is not "obsessed" to some one very narrow specialty.It can find application in all sectors of professional activities which require higher education.And in the future bachelor, focusing on the needs of the employer is able to hone their skills, received a second degree in two years or 2.5.
