For people who already have a university degree, NRU HSE offers not only retraining or advanced training programs, but also bachelor's programs that provide a full-fledged second higher education. We talk about how the "accelerated bachelor's degree" attracts top managers of banks, start-up entrepreneurs, promising IT specialists and even doctors.

What is an "accelerated bachelor's degree"

These are bachelor's programs for students who have already graduated from a university, which involve obtaining another diploma of higher education. Education in such a bachelor's degree is called accelerated, since it takes not four, but three years, which, however, does not affect the quality of training. Time savings are achieved by recalculating a certain number of hours in general disciplines (history, philosophy, etc.) that the student has already studied as part of the first higher education.

Accelerated bachelor's programs are being implemented at the Higher School of Economics by five divisions, in particular, which has been operating in the second higher education market for more than twenty years.

Who and why receives a second higher education

The difference between an accelerated bachelor's degree and a regular one lies in the duration and fundamental nature of the training. “You need to understand that a professional retraining program means a very short time, and a person must have a serious basic level in this area, otherwise he will not be able to immediately get involved in special subjects and master them. But the bachelor's degree smoothly leads to the opportunity to master and acquire competencies based on serious theory, ”says Tatyana Grigorieva, director of IPPS.

There are three main groups of people who come for a second higher education.

Firstly, these are those who want to change the scope of their activities. These may be people whose life circumstances have changed radically (for example, military personnel who have been transferred to the reserve, who have a military specialty, but they need to adapt to civilian life). And someone just changes professional interests, and they want to do something new. “These are the most unusual examples, but a priest studied with us, a ballerina studied with us, who retired at a little over thirty and who, by the way, defended herself best in financial matters,” recalls Tatyana Grigoryeva.

Secondly, these are those who already have serious skills and practical experience, but do not have a diploma in this field, and would like to systematize knowledge and master new technologies, for example, in managing the company's finances. “Insurance companies and banks have strict requirements for having a higher economic education if you work in the relevant departments,” explains Tatyana Grigorieva.

Thirdly, these are those who are interested in starting their own business, but for this they need basic management and financial training, and not just advanced training. For example, doctors who would like to open their own clinic or run a blood transfusion station.

Of course, there are other categories of listeners. Thus, Elena Koval, director of additional professional education at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, notes the influx of graduates who want to get in a field that is either closely related or complementary to their main activity. For example, lawyers come to study. At the same time, the list of areas of study for the second higher education on the Moscow campus is quite wide: management, economics, business informatics and law.

Why choose HSE

First of all, because of the quality of education and focus on results, on the increment of knowledge and skills that allow you to move to a new stage of professional development. But the HSE diploma itself is recognized and welcomed by employers and then actively helps in life.

“There was a case when a top manager came to us for a second diploma in the status of financial director of one large corporation,” says Elena Koval. - We offered him to enroll in a program that, in terms of level and status, seemed to be more in line with him. But he admitted that, although he had studied a lot and achieved a lot on his own, he was uncomfortable with presenting the diploma of higher education that he had.

And surveys of alumni conducted by the IPPS show that they name the teaching staff as the main competitive advantage of HSE programs. “About a third of the teachers are practicing teachers, they teach classes with us, and they themselves manage companies or work in consulting,” says Elena Koval. “And this is very important for our students - they get good academic knowledge and first-hand experience.”

How is the training

“In our institute, we have been forming a team of teachers for the past twenty years,” says Tatyana Grigorieva. - We test teachers, we always support feedback from students. We look not just at whether the teacher likes it or not, but we find out what exactly the problem may be - teaching methods, inappropriate material, just psychological incompatibility.

HSE lecturers can “hold” an adult audience. On the one hand, they are able to methodically build theoretical material, on the other hand, they bring ready-made cases and analyze “live” problems. In the same way, on the basis of specific material, including the cases of companies, of which they themselves are employees, the project work of students is organized.

Training takes place in the evenings, usually four times a week - and you need to study for real. “If someone decides that, having entered, he will receive a diploma without much effort in three years, then he is mistaken,” warns Tatyana Grigorieva. - It will be necessary to hand over projects, take exams - and be ready for this. The expulsion conditions are the same as in the regular one, and there are dropouts in our programs.

But in an accelerated bachelor's degree, you can not only interrupt your studies, but also recover. “We understand that there are a lot of objective reasons, both vital and professional, that can prevent an adult from studying continuously for three years,” says Elena Koval. - He can be sent on a long business trip, he has an emergency at work, he can get sick, face financial difficulties, and so on. Students have the opportunity to leave the program, then recover and complete their studies.”

What Accelerated Bachelor's Graduates Achieve

“A huge number of our graduates hold high positions in credit and financial institutions, and then return to us with cases and conduct trainings for current students,” says Tatyana Grigorieva.

Graduates of the programs of the second higher education work in government structures and head large corporations

“Many listeners come to us for knowledge, and they also get wonderful networking,” adds Elena Koval. - Colleagues who are successful in business come and begin to implement joint projects. Someone finds a job with their own fellow practitioners, and after some time organizes their own business.

How to enter the second higher education program

All details can be found in the admission rules on the website of a particular program. There is also a list of entrance examinations and documents required for admission. After submitting an application, the applicant signs up for testing or an interview (there are different options for entrance tests). For example, in IPPS testing is organized in an electronic format, without a teacher. Those who have scored a sufficient number of points (they are also indicated in the admission rules) are enrolled in the program.

You can learn more about the accelerated bachelor's program and other HSE continuing education programs on May 18 at a special open day. Managers of the Institute for Professional Retraining of Specialists, the Graduate School of Business Informatics, and will be happy to tell you in detail about the programs and conditions for admission. The open day will also feature a series of lectures where leading lecturers from HSE institutes and centers will talk about topical issues in business and management.

High competition in the labor market forces modern specialists to constantly improve their skills and acquire knowledge and skills in related professional fields. Both yesterday's graduates of universities who are just starting their careers, and specialists with "experience" are striving to get a second higher education in Moscow today.

Currently, among the many areas of study, management, economics and law are still the most popular. In accordance with the high demand in the market of educational services, there are quite a large number of proposals. An applicant can choose from several dozen educational institutions. Depending on the prestige of the university, the cost of education sometimes differs several times.

As you know, the second higher education is provided on a paid basis, in this regard, it is easiest to assess the possible conditions for training on the basis of paid admission statistics. The tables below show the results of the 2011 admission campaign. These data are the result of monitoring carried out by RIA Novosti and the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
