Note: Correspondence higher education is a unique opportunity to combine learning with work. Some consider correspondence education to be superficial, mistakenly believing that it implies payment twice a year, attendance at examinations and everything is a “diploma”. This situation is possible only if you just need a “crust”. All studied topics student-extramural passes independently, it is necessary not to “cram” and mechanically rewrite all the abstracts, but really to find and understand the material. Distance learning provides an excellent opportunity to accumulate experience and build a career. Combining study and work in the specialty, the student learns in practice much more than his friends – in theory. Moreover, industrial work is very appreciated by potential employers, which will allow in the future count on more prestigious work. Distance learning is also a good option for mothers who do not have the ability to permanently leave the child unattended and students from small towns, because in the correspondence department they do not need to leave the family and work for a long time.
