Free education in Moscow: universities, courses, programs, seminars

Demon paid training in Moscow comes out of everyday circulation, but so far it is not a myth, but a reality. There are hundreds of public educational institutions and private centers in the capital, thanks to which anyone can improve their level of education, learn languages, and acquire a new profession.

Both young people and older audiences want to learn something new. You don’t have to pay for it; the main thing is the desire to gain knowledge and apply it in practice.

For children

Children preschool age and schoolchildren can always get free education in Moscow, they only need to decide on interests and preferences, which their parents can help them with. Many kindergartens, more than 2000, have become real educational and development centers. For example, in the kindergarten “Solnyshko” children are taught choreography, clay modeling and rhythm.

“Ulybka” has an art studio and a children’s theater. General education, cadet, international, evening, correctional, as well as church schools, boarding schools, gymnasiums and lyceums, every student can find a hobby group or attend a sports section. Specialized children's centers and creativity centers are engaged in a wide variety of activities: from science and technology to artistic creativity and tourism. In the “Palace of Pioneers” on Vorobyovy Gory alone, about 15 thousand children participate in rallies and festivals, and go to themed camps.

Except preparatory courses many Moscow universities conduct lessons for free, using such forms of training as lectures, seminars and laboratory works, and in last years In Moscow, a dozen specialized high schools have opened at universities, providing training far beyond the school curriculum.

For students and graduates

Today, graduates of higher educational institutions have an excellent opportunity to continue education is free. A perpetual certificate will provide the opportunity to use media resources and the library of your institute or university, attend lectures and conferences.

How to choose an educational institution?

Part 1

In 2010, there were about 1,800 in Moscow secondary schools, in which nearly 800 thousand children studied. Wherein preschool institutions was even higher and approaching the level of Soviet times. Several hundred public and private higher education institutions in the capital open their doors to a million students every year. The number of non-state educational institutions cannot be counted. A good education in price, but often you have to pay a fairly high price for it. Will there be a paid training? best quality? How to choose an educational institution within your means and not make a mistake? There are quite simple ways, which are applicable to all educational organizations without exception.

Check the year the educational institution was founded: the older you are, the stronger the traditions and the more coordinated the work. Compare the number of courses or services offered: quantity does not mean quality, but it may indicate an attempt to provide a well-rounded education. Does the organization have branches in different areas of the city? The opening of a second branch perhaps indicates demand and successful activity. Does the educational institution have Feedback? Is it possible to find all the necessary contact information publicly available on the Internet: last name, first name, patronymic of the director, telephone number for inquiries, address Email? Does the organization offer deferment of tuition fees? Is it possible to attend a trial or demo lesson for free? Does it provide students teaching aids and the necessary equipment?

Many people believe that private or commercial kindergartens are more prestigious, but in reality, not everything is so simple. The fact is that state kindergartens are under constant inspection by government agencies regarding nutrition, group classes, medical supervision, and so on. All kindergartens in Moscow have recently been attached to some school and even share the same number with it. Therefore, when choosing a kindergarten, find out which school it belongs to. Attachment does not oblige parents to send their child to this particular school, it simply guarantees a place there. It also happens that several kindergartens are attached to one school at once. Considering that many schools are also kind of “attached” to universities, an interesting picture emerges about the attachment of a young citizen to an educational institution from childhood to mature age within the framework of civic education.

Part 3

Before you go looking for a school, take special tests for your child that will tell you about his interests, inclinations, and talents. Look at an educational institution that can maximize your child’s abilities. Study in detail the teaching staff of the school, as well as the number of students in the classes. Less is better. Remember that there is nothing more beautiful in education individual lessons with a good teacher! Visit the website of the school, college or training center you are interested in. Does he exist? Is it updated? Good organization in one there is a sign of organization in many. If the site has a forum, look at the posts: from them you can learn a lot about the internal kitchen and the state of affairs.

Visit the website of the school, college or training center you are interested in. Does he exist? Is it updated? Good organization in one thing is a sign of organization in many things. If the site has a forum, look at the posts: from them you can learn a lot about the internal kitchen and the state of affairs. How many students of this educational institution passed the Unified State Exam with 80+ points? What was GPA? The average USE score in Russia for 2015 was 59.47 points. Compare it with data for the school you are interested in and draw conclusions. If educational institution does not advertise the results obtained by students at the final Unified State Examination or OGE, this also says a lot. In general, the suppression of data by an educational institution is a worrying factor. Does he participate? this school or a gymnasium in city or regional competitions? Is it regular? What are the progress?

Part 4

Go to several Moscow labor market websites and look at the selection of vacancies offered for university graduates. The number of mentions of a university per 100 vacancies will give you the first clue about the demand for an educational institution among employers. Look at the information on the official website of the higher education institution. Divide the total experience of 20 teachers in your department by 20. The ideal figure would be from 10 to 25 years. If the average length of service is below ten, this may mean an imbalance towards young specialists; if it is higher, then perhaps this educational institution lacks “fresh pedagogical blood”. Check the average length of service at this particular institute: a low indicator indicates staff turnover.

Quality higher education usually directly proportional to teachers' salaries. If an educational institution charges high fees for educational services, and at the same time, the salaries of teachers are not up to par, you should not expect good things, since teachers usually devote their energy not to students, but to searching for additional income. Unfortunately, this is especially true for many state universities. For non-state educational institutions, the most relevant information is work experience in the field of education. How less years the university is functioning, the less one can expect organization and coherence in educational process educational institution, the less stable the students’ output knowledge will be. In all sections of the catalog, we have added the ability to leave a review about the educational institution; some of them will also help you make the right choice.

I recently decided to get a second education, but not in Russia. Knowing about the quality education that my peers receive in Europe and America, I also wanted to follow their example. If you believe the statistics, 10% of Russian students annually go to study and conquer the USA, Canada, Czech Republic, England, China and other countries. The issue of free education abroad is still relevant today.

In which countries can a Russian student study for free?

First of all, I decided to decide in which country it would be easier for me to live, where education would cost me less.

Please note that you can study for free only at state universities. They provide free education to foreigners.

In other organizations, training is paid.

Many people call training “free” in quotes. The reason is that you must provide for themselves , you will have to spend money not only on food, but also on the library, gym and other services of the educational institution. Everything is paid annual contribution . In addition, if you are not entering a university through a funding program, you will need to transfer a sum of money to your bank account, which would be enough for accommodation and food during the entire period of study .

Since I work and can support myself, I did not pay attention to the “free” education. While studying in Russia, we also spend on accommodation and food. Moreover, considerable sums are spent on rent, and if I live in a student dormitory , then my expenses will be much reduced.

So, I will list the foreign countries where you can get a free education and with what entrance requirements:

Note that educational establishments Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, China and other countries provide the opportunity to receive free education for Russian students.

But education at universities is not carried out on English language, but only on native language of this country, for example, Czech, Chinese, etc.

Despite this, they are admitted to universities without exams, after school and after completing the first year of a Russian institute.

Basic requirements for applicants for foreigners

Each university and country has its own requirements, however, they are almost the same.

Foreign applicants can enroll in universities, taking into account the following requirements:

Documents required for studying abroad

The standard package of documents includes:

Each document submitted to the commission plays a big role.

If you do not submit any document, you may be denied admission.

5 ways to study abroad for free

There are several methods for obtaining free foreign education. All forms directly associated with gratuitous assistance . It can be provided to students by an educational institution, the state, a private entrepreneur, or a representative of a public foundation.

I will list 5 ways of such training:

Grants or so-called social help students , which is intended for educational expenses, implementation of a professional project, training in summer schools, taking courses, etc. The grant is issued as a one-time incentive. You can receive it again.
Scholarship . When receiving a scholarship that can cover the cost of all or part of your studies, a motivation letter plays a huge role. The scholarship can be awarded for achievements in volunteer, sports, creative, academic, or other talents. The scholarship can be issued by the university itself or by the Russian state.
Research Fellowship . This method of obtaining an education is intended for those who have graduated from a higher education institution and plan to enroll in a master’s program for further research activities. Such a scholarship can be issued by the state, representatives of private or public foundations.
Assistant . Intended for those who wish to enroll in doctoral studies. In addition to teaching, you will work as an assistant professor. His responsibilities include teaching introductory courses in your specialty, participating in research projects that your department implements. Such financial support can be provided by both the state and the institution itself.
Global Education Program . A program was developed so that a student studying abroad at the expense of the Russian Federation budget, after graduating from a university in a master's, postgraduate, or doctoral program, would return to Russia and work at the enterprise for 3 years. This is a great opportunity to get a free education and have workplace at the end.

So, as you understand, get free education abroad is possible . The main thing is to have a desire. When choosing an educational institution, I rely on entrance exams and requirements.

If you are also planning to study abroad, then my advice is: think through everything down to the smallest detail, how you will finance your studies, how much money you will need for accommodation, food and other expenses, what exact documents should be sent to the university upon admission.

The profession of “jeweler” sounds proud. However, fifteen years ago, high school students dreamed of faceless but promising specialties. For example: “manager”, “economist”. When choosing a profession, of course, one should rely on such concepts as demand, prestige, and high pay. But do not forget about personal abilities and inclinations.

Fortunately, today everything fell into place. Most applicants strive to choose exactly the specialty that will allow them to not only live comfortably in the future, but also provide the opportunity to enjoy work. The jeweler profession, along with other creative professions, is experiencing a rebirth today.

What does this word mean? Who is a jeweler? Where can I get a job as a jeweler? What is the scope of his activities?

Concept

The profession of “jeweler” presupposes the presence of artistic skills and the ability to grasp the aesthetic preferences of the customer. A person who has this specialty is able to perform manipulations to mount jewelry. He knows how to secure inserts in a product and carry out other operations for the manufacture and repair of jewelry.

In addition, such a specialist is capable of not only being an employee, but also starting his own business. Namely, a jewelry workshop. Approximately this concept is given in specialized courses.

In any training center, when a future student is asked what prospects the profession of a jeweler offers, they will answer: high wages, demand. But, of course, not everyone can master this creative specialty. Just like not everyone is given the opportunity to become an astronaut, lawyer or long-distance train.

The profession of “jeweler”, training for which in Russia is provided both paid and budgetary basis, has both advantages and disadvantages. Let's consider the pros and cons working days goldsmiths.

Advantages

Theoretically, anyone can become a jeweler. In addition, its advantage is the possibility of continuous development. Anyone who is not afraid of painstaking work and working with stones and metals, having received an education, can safely apply for a place in one of the jewelry enterprises.

If you have an artistic gift, you should think about a more serious education. You can choose a university whose list of programs includes training in design with a jewelry focus.

Thus, two types of specialists can be distinguished. The first ones create, create something new. Their work is similar to the skill of a sculptor or painter. And, of course, it is impossible to learn it without artistic abilities. The second ones are restored, brought into proper shape, appraised, and done in a pawnshop.

Flaws

Being a jeweler also has its downsides. And first of all, they include a sedentary lifestyle. Jewelers strain their eyes every day and receive, albeit minor, hand injuries. Burns are also possible chemicals. To all of the above it is worth adding great responsibility.

A jeweler who evaluates expensive items has no room for error. After all, it can lead to huge expenses and loss of reputation of the enterprise.

An applicant who has decided to become a jeweler should answer the following questions:

Does it match your personality traits?
Do you have enough perseverance?
Can you become a specialist in a narrow focus (for example, work exclusively with cold enamel).
Will you be able to evaluate jewelry products?

Like any other specialty, the presence of special personal qualities the profession of “jeweler” requires. Reviews are sometimes negative. But, as a rule, those who choose this profession by mistake, without analyzing their own abilities in time, leave it.

We figured out what the profession of “jeweler” is. Where to study? What is the cost of training?

Higher education institutions

The profession of “jeweler,” which is briefly described above, implies the presence of a complex of knowledge and skills. You can purchase them at the specialized university. The basics of jewelry making are also taught in college. Finally, you can take specialized courses that last only a few weeks.

Those who take a thorough approach to mastering the profession should choose one of the universities below:

Moscow branch of VSHNI.
Art and Industry Academy named after. Stroganov.
Moscow State University design and technology.
Moscow Research Technological University.

There are not many universities that provide education in the jeweler profession. But there are many higher educational institutions that have a design department. After graduation, you can continue your training in the jewelry profile.

Stroganov Academy

In 2016, a training program was launched at one of the most prestigious universities in the country additional education in the direction of “jewelry art”. Students of the course are necessary for the production of full-fledged jewelry. They get acquainted with all stages of manufacturing such products: from sketches to working with metal and stone.

The course also includes lectures covering legal and legal aspects and issues related to copyright. As a credit - a collection made by yourself.

After receiving the appropriate diploma, a newly minted jeweler is not only able to create a sketch, but also has the necessary skills further work knowledge from the field of gemology. Training includes 72 Cost - 95 thousand rubles.

VSHNI

The branch provides training in several areas, including the specialty “art metal”. Those who dream of becoming a jeweler should choose this specialty. The university has both a paid department and a budget department.

IN syllabus, in addition to general disciplines, lectures and practical lessons on the history of jewelry art, materials science, design, the basis of composition, gemology, computer graphics. The cost of training per year is 193 thousand rubles.

You can also get a profession in college. In this case, the duration of study will be four years.

Carl Fabergé College

This educational institution positions itself as a leader in training professionals in the field of jewelry manufacturing. The college provides additional education in areas such as laser soldering, 3D modeling, engraving, casting, and creating wax models. Students of this educational institution participate in prestigious international competitions.

Other educational institutions:

College of Entrepreneurship No. 11.
Polytechnic College named after. Ovchinnikova.
Art and Industrial College named after. Vasnetsova.

Courses

Often a person graduates from a university, spends several years doing work that gives him neither pleasure nor well-being, and only then decides (if he has the courage) to change his profession. For example, become a jeweler.

In this case, there is no need to submit documents to the Academy. Stroganov or another educational institution listed above. It is enough to complete specialized courses. Finding information about them is not difficult. However, it is better to opt for additional education programs offered by reputable universities. Along with them there are also training centers, training personnel for the jewelry industry. Among them:

British graduate School design.
Author's courses at MSTU. Kosygina.
Russian Academy of Crafts.
"Glass Academy"

The course of study lasts from five to twelve months. Students master a basic range of knowledge, which in the future allows them to occupy their own niche in jewelry production. And finally, there is another way to gain knowledge in this area. Namely, to become an apprentice to an experienced jeweler.

Salary

The question of how much a jeweler earns is difficult to answer. It all depends on the specialization and experience of the master. Depending on the workload, the region in which the specialist works, and other factors, a jeweler’s earnings range from thirty to one hundred thousand rubles.

Some people know from childhood that they want to become a doctor or a miner. Others have no idea what to work with. For some, finances and school results allow them to enter any department, while others choose from what is available. What if you don’t yet know which university is best to go to? Depends on what is preventing you from making a choice.

You don't know which university is better

A good university is a vague concept. To understand which university will turn a student into a cool specialist, you need to dig through a bunch of data.

Please note that university rankings vary. Simple lists like “the 100 best universities in the world” are not suitable: what they evaluate is not always necessary for future profession. Look for ratings that reflect the employment of graduates: how many specialists found a job after studying, how quickly they got a job, and whether they work in their specialty at all.

Food for thought:

Ratings of the Expert RA agency: starting from the abstract “best university” and ending with a list of the most sought after by employers.
Monitoring of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation on the employment of graduates.
Quality Rating educational activities(also according to the Ministry of Education).
An example of a salary rating for the SuperJob portal. Look for similar collections for other professions.

If you are planning to enroll, but your educational institution does not appear on any list, ask the university representatives whether it is easy for graduates to find work. Perhaps the university does not track the fate of all graduates, but at least it cooperates with employers and helps in finding employment. Ask about such programs: whether they operate and under what conditions.

Chat with Alumni

How do employers react to a university diploma?
Was the knowledge from lectures and seminars useful in your work?
How do your colleagues rate the university?
Are graduates satisfied with the salary level? How quickly do they move up the career ladder?

Go to all the open days

Universities hold meetings with applicants to promote themselves. Come and listen. Ask how to find a job after university, whether it is possible to transfer to another faculty and how to do this.

Find out more about opportunities for studying and traveling abroad. Ask questions about the equipment in the labs and even the quality of the food in the cafeteria.

You don't know who you want to be

Don't worry if you don't know what you want to do yet. You have time to choose your dream business. But if you want to enroll now (in order not to waste time or for other reasons), try to find a suitable option.

Look for professions you don't know about

Open the directory of professions (at the Ministry of Labor and social protection RF there is such and such) and see who you can work with. Just read the job descriptions in order. If you like something, go to any job search portal and consider vacancies. Analyze what requirements are imposed on applicants and what you will need to be able to do.

Sometimes such a free search gives more than all career guidance tests.

Choose a university with a large number of directions

If after a year or two you realize that you want to do something completely different, you can find a suitable specialty within your university. Then it will be easier to transfer to another faculty and take additional subjects.

Stop at the hardest part

If you have no idea what you want to be, but you still need to study (your parents are pushing you or you are more afraid of the army than the session), then choose a difficult specialty.

Firstly, there is less competition in complex areas. Secondly, if you decide to change your faculty or specialty, after difficult studies, everything else will seem like paradise. Thirdly, the skills of self-discipline and overcoming difficulties are the best that a modern university can provide.

Choose a practical specialty

Such that you can start immediately after studying or even during it. Otherwise, after university you may find yourself with a diploma that neither you nor your employer needs.

It’s better to earn money in a position you don’t like and save money for a new business than to spend several years on jobs that won’t be useful at all.

You have no money

Training is expensive. Or not?

Don't get hung up on a big name

Roughly speaking, if you want to become a mathematician, you need to become a mathematician, and not a student at the Best Mathematics University. Therefore, look for the desired specialty in other universities and in other cities. Maybe you will find an option many thousands of kilometers away, but with a scholarship.

Don't stop at Moscow and St. Petersburg: good universities is not only in them. A HSE study on the accessibility of education in 2016 will help take a fresh look at the geography of education.

Go to college

Colleges are cheaper. They complete the program faster. And in a few years, you will have a ready-made specialty, a job and the opportunity to study by correspondence or evening classes, without thinking about how your parents will pay for your studies.

Choose a university that pays good scholarships

Many universities encourage active and talented students by paying them additional scholarships. The region can also help with money.

Find out if the university you are going to has such scholarship holders. Ask how they achieved it. There will be only one small thing left - to become one of best students university.

Try Target Set

Targeted recruitment is when an enterprise pays for your training, and after studying you must work at this very enterprise. Sometimes an agreement is concluded not with an enterprise, but with municipal authorities. In fact, this is a type of educational loan, but you have to repay the debt not with money, but with work.

Find out if the university you are interested in has a targeted enrollment, ask what companies they work with. Take the contacts of departments that conclude contracts - and go ahead, study the conditions and features of training.

Please note that orders for enrollment of target students are signed earlier, and applications must be submitted in the spring. The best time to do everything is during spring break.
