What is the difference between a full-time diploma and a correspondence diploma

The issue of higher education is always relevant. It is believed that having a diploma of education will increase yesterday’s student competitiveness in the labor market and provide an opportunity to get a well-paid and interesting job. Which form of training to choose depends only on the future student.

Differences between full-time and part-time studies

Full-time and part-time studies are structured according to fundamentally different schemes. Full-time training provides for a greater number of hours of classroom work with teachers, that is, the student is required to attend lectures and seminars the entire semester, at the end of the semester exams and tests are taken. The knowledge gained is much deeper than that of an extramural student. By correspondence course of study, most of the hours are devoted to independent work, the student prepares for exams autonomously.

Studying full-time, the student is almost always studying, it is very difficult for him to find a job and combine it with study. A correspondence student is not so connected with training, therefore, he can work and study. An extramural student can find a job by profession, and by the time she graduates, she will be not just a certified specialist, but a specialist with work experience.

The cost of training in the correspondence department, as a rule, differs to a lesser extent from the cost of full-time training.

At the correspondence department there is no deferment from the army and no scholarship paid.

In medical specialties do not teach in absentia. Perhaps part-time education for people with secondary vocational education in the relevant profile, that is, evening training.

In full-time education there are places paid by the budget, that is, it is possible to get higher education for free. Budget places for correspondence courses are quite rare. In some specialties, extramural studies are completely absent.
