Master's the what?
Everything changed with gaining independence andtaken on the course of integration into the European process of training and training of qualified specialists. Now in the Russian education there are various degrees - "bachelor", "specialist" and "master". What is the last of them? Let us dwell on this issue in more detail.
Master is a step highervocational education. It follows the Bachelor's degree and is designed to deepen the acquired professional knowledge. If the bachelor's degree is considered, in general, a complete higher education that allows you to work according to the profile you received, then the master's program is a stepping stone to a scientific career. It is in this regard, after the completion of the 4th year in many universities, the division of the flow of students into two directions - "specialists" and "masters" - follows. The first receive additional knowledge, focused on practical skills in the profession and their application. Masters also devote their training to grinding knowledge as such, as well as studying the scientific method, the methods of research in specialization, in order to continue to receive the opportunity to enter post-graduate studies and continue research activities.
It is not necessary to consider thus, that the magistracy issome higher education on the background of "experts" or "bachelors". This is not true. It's just that this stage of training is sharpened for scientific work, and the emphasis is on the theoretical foundations of the profession, often at the expense of practical skills. In this case, the Master's program does not actually meet in absentia. According to the norms of modern education, this degree is obtained solely in training at a hospital. Although, of course, there are exceptions for private sector education institutions.
