Correspondence course programming higher education. Second higher education: programming. How to master a profession faster

Second higher education in the field of IT technologies - these are unlimited prospects for a thinking person. Synergy University has created all the conditions for the implementation of such a solution from any “starting” platform (presence/absence of the first higher education, completed secondary education for a programmer).

The catalog of our programs includes the most popular areas: Second higher education: programming

The IT faculty program is MOiAIS, training professionals to work with business software products starting with 1C. Here programmers with deep mathematical training are “raised” - future software developers, international IT directors.
Having mastered the IS&T specification in instrumentation and telecommunications, you will not have time to start looking for a job - it will find you sooner.
The general program for training general-purpose programmers is a deep dive into the mechanics of operating systems, C++ programming, the principles of computer graphics, the basics of IT administration and much more.
A promising direction is the program of the Faculty of Information Security and Technology “Information Security” - your choice if you want to become indispensable. Effective practice with the participation of university company resources, coding skills, cryptography basics - as a result, you will become an expert in preventing cyber risks - a threat of the 21st century.
Applied computer science is a direction for future developers, testers, and application creators.

Forms and duration of training. Entrance tests

A complete and accelerated program for training programmers is available at our university. Dates:

complete full-time education– 4 years, accelerated – 3 years (full range available professional activity);
evening classes – 4 years 6 months;
distance learning: full 4 years 6 months, accelerated program takes 3 years 6 months.

Recalculation for students who have access to an accelerated program for obtaining a second higher education in programming is carried out individually and depends on a number of factors (main profession, past achievements, scientific work, choice of specialty). We constantly have promotions and discounts - you can always ask for clarification to gain a competitive advantage in the labor market.

Employment: relevance of personnel in the market

The IT market employs from 400 to 500 specialists (information for 2016). The current need of the Russian Federation is 1.2 million, according to official estimates, 4 million, according to the data of the speakers of the annual all-Russian forum “Territory of Meanings”.

In 2013, the Russian government approved a program for the development of the market for IT specialists, according to which by 2018 the number of employed programmers should approach 700 thousand people. And we are not talking about completely satisfying the needs of the industry. De facto, today the programming segment suffers from an acute shortage of personnel.

Programmers, software administrators, application developers, testers are in demand by companies of any profile. Banking organizations and insurers, manufacturing, trading, administrative enterprises – 80% legal entities Russia is already working with its own software product (website, applications, 1C), which requires professional participation.

There are many areas of employment for IT professionals:

head of IT department;
startup lead group administrator;
software developer;
Head of Information Security Department;
social network group administrator.

The list goes on. Programming is a specialty that continues to grow with new professions/positions. The number of programmer vacancies in the country (data from the top 10 recruitment agencies) has not fallen below 45 thousand for the third year in a row. This is the only area that is not threatened by unemployment in any crisis.

Beginning: 20000 ⃏ per month

Experienced: 40000 ⃏ per month

Professional: 90000 ⃏ per month

* - information on salaries is given approximately based on vacancies on profiling sites. Salaries in a specific region or company may differ from those shown. Your income is greatly influenced by how you can apply yourself in your chosen field of activity. Income is not always limited only to what vacancies are offered to you on the labor market.

Demand for the profession

This profession is in high demand, but the level of competition is also high. Several dozen people can apply for one position. Success depends on skills, knowledge, and the ability to interpret them.

Who is the profession suitable for?

Required programmer qualities:

Systems thinking.
Analytic mind.
Good memory.
Ability to present information in understandable language.

Working conditions

Programmers spend their working day indoors. The work takes place mainly while sitting. During work, the programmer is often in front of a computer monitor, so the strain on the eyes is high.

Career

Careers, like those of other workers, depend on skills and aspirations. In large companies, a specialist can become the head of the IT department or a leading project manager.

Many programmers open own business in the field of software development.

Working for yourself with independent search for orders is very popular - freelancing.

For career growth, it is important to constantly acquire new knowledge and keep up with technology developments. Preference is given to those who understand the most modern programming trends.

If you want to acquire a new specialty, basic (from scratch) knowledge and applied skills in IT, economics, finance, management, and are ready for long-term (almost 3 years) training, then a second higher education program is better suited for you (preparing a bachelor’s degree in Business Informatics).

Who can study on the program?

The second higher education program - training bachelors in a shortened time in the field of "Business Informatics" - accepts specialists and managers who have a state diploma of higher education (bachelor, specialist, master) in various specialties and areas.

In this case, the direction of the first higher education, the presence of primary knowledge and practical experience do not matter.

Admission is based on results entrance examinations, the form and list of which is determined by the university independently, and interviews. .

Why is it worth studying at the Higher School of Economics?

Schoolchildren, it seems, have already passed the Unified State Exam and are about to go to apply to universities. Programming and IT technologies are in stable demand, much like legal and economic specialties were 10 years ago.

In this article I will tell you how higher education for IT works and how to choose the right IT specialty.
The article will be useful not only for 2015 applicants, but also for high school students who have already decided to connect their lives with IT.

Do you need to go to university to become a programmer?

There are many points of view on this issue and I am sure it will be raised more than once in the comments. In my humble opinion, higher education is not a prerequisite for becoming an IT specialist, nor is it a guarantee of this. But it can become a solid foundation for professional growth.

You can read books, participate in the OpenSource community, work part-time on oDesk, and in a few years you will be an experienced developer, without a higher education. True, nothing prevents you from doing all this in parallel with your studies at a university, except your own laziness.
You can enroll, take tests and exams, get a diploma and not end up becoming a professional programmer - there are millions of such stories.

A good university provides, first of all, excellent conditions for gaining knowledge, experience, connections and growing as a person. And it’s up to you how you will use them (and whether you will use them at all).
Let’s assume that you have already decided to get a higher education in the IT field, and let’s move on.

Bachelor, specialist and master

Years have passed since the Ministry of Education decided to integrate Russia into the Bologna higher education system and much has changed. Previously, all IT workers could only obtain a specialist diploma. This year the last certified specialists graduated (with the exception of specialties where the training period is more than 5 years).
Now you can become a bachelor, after that a master, and then enter graduate school to obtain the Russian equivalent of a Ph.D.

What has really changed?
In the old curricula for “specialists,” the number of hours was cut for one year, while the most difficult disciplines were either removed or shortened. Many academic topics from the field of algebra, probability theory, and physics will remain uncovered by the teacher for the bachelor's degree. In a number of specialties where programming is an auxiliary competency (for example, information security), various programming technologies have come under the knife - from web development to parallel programming.

Otherwise nothing theoretical material, nor the teaching methods have changed. The volume of material has been reduced. If some university used to give laboratory tests for Pascal, they still do.
At the same time, master's curricula can boast of novelty. You can write about this separately if there is demand.

It must be taken into account that a bachelor’s degree is not a ready-made employee who can come to an employer with a diploma with honors and ask for the average salary in a hospital. A bachelor knows something, knows something about technology, but as a rule, does not know how to work in a team, a large group, or completely independently solve specific practical problems. In developer terminology, this is a Junior, promising to become a Middle Developer in 2-4 years. In many companies, such graduates without experience are offered internship programs with a mentor for 6-12 months.

Applied and Academic Bachelor's Degree

Of course, the fact that the specialty was simply reduced by 20% could not please the Ministry of Education. Few people can be pleased with an “under-specialist” who now knows even less. Therefore, starting from 2015, applied bachelor’s degrees will be introduced everywhere as an alternative to incomplete academic education.

In short, the applied curriculum differs from the academic one in the new curriculum, where all disciplines are focused on producing an employee who is as ready as possible for real work tasks. Without internships and other headaches for the employer. For example, from an academic bachelor’s degree a “mathematician-programmer” may come out, and from an applied bachelor’s degree “.Net Developer”, “Relational Database Developer” or “C++ Programmer”. The latter are more interesting to the labor market immediately after graduating from university, while the former, after graduating from a bachelor’s degree, must enter a master’s program and further develop their competencies in order to qualify for higher positions after graduation. Other useful thing- participation in the applied bachelor’s program of employers (as a base of practice) and IT vendors.

Despite the fact that the idea, in my opinion, is sound and its implementation was started 5 years ago in 44 pilot universities, I have not yet met either qualitatively new educational materials or graduates ready for independent work. I assume that nothing will change in the next 2-3 years and there will be no significant difference in the preparation of academic and applied bachelor’s degrees. However, if you have already decided to pursue a master’s degree, go to the academic one; if after 4 years of study you plan to go to work and return to the master’s program “someday,” then apply to the applied one.

Teaching at a university

If they study at school, then they study at a university. And the difference here is huge. No one will force you to study. If you want to get a diploma, sit down, figure it out, ask your classmates. A teacher is simply a carrier of knowledge who knows how to explain this knowledge. His goal is to tell, yours is to understand. If you don’t understand something, the teacher still fulfilled his goal. Even if in some cases this is not the case, it is better to think in this paradigm, there will be less disappointment.

The quality of teaching lies precisely in how well the teacher conveys knowledge to you and what practical competence you gain from it. For example, you can convey the principle of OOP in the Delphi programming language, or you can use C# or Java. You will understand OOP anyway if you try, but familiarity with C# or Java will be useful for you in the future when preparing coursework, during part-time work or further employment.

Teaching is an inert thing. The more a teacher teaches the same course using the same technologies as an example, the better he is able to convey knowledge to students. But IT technologies change too quickly, so two extremes are possible:

the teacher reads to you something that is morally outdated, but you understand everything perfectly
the teacher talks about the latest technologies, but you still have large gaps in your understanding of something (if you don’t fill them in yourself in books, on StackOverflow or MSDN, then it will remain so).

There are wonderful teachers who update 30% of their educational material every year, but not everyone is ready for such efforts.

In addition to splitting bachelor's degrees into academic and applied ones, education standards are also being updated from the second generation to 3 and 3+. With so many changes in teaching, there is a risk that the next 2-3 sets of students will be less prepared than the next. This means you need to make more personal efforts.

When choosing a university and specialty, it is advisable to know Who and What will tell you. Before final choice- find out from current students, read VK student groups.

Choosing a specialty

So, you decided to get a higher education and become a programmer. And not just a programmer, but, for example, a Web developer specializing in frontend. It’s great that at 18 you already have a goal in life, but I’m in a hurry to disappoint you. In our state there is such a thing as standards of higher education and they are much more abstract than you would like.

The full list of higher education standards can be found here. Not all of them have generation 3+ standards yet, but they will by the end of the year. I recommend reading these boring documents.

Mathematical support and administration of information systems (MOAIS).

Specialty that gives best conditions to develop developer competencies.

You will study: programming technologies in various languages (usually in 4 years you will become familiar with at least three programming languages - for example: C++, C#, Lisp, or C++, Java, Python), development and basic administration of relational and object-oriented databases, network technologies , development of “client-server” applications, “client - application server - database server”, parallel programming.

Training gives an understanding of programming in principle; in a couple of months you can learn any programming language and develop in it; understanding how any program works and how to solve most computing problems. After receiving your diploma, you are a strong Junior, but as soon as you understand specific tasks and tools in a specific company, your knowledge base will be enough to qualify for Middle.

After work experience and a good master's degree in this specialty, you will be able to not only make programs and Information Systems, but you will become familiar with the principles of developing high-load systems, team management, development planning and will be able to apply for Senior and Team Lead.

Fundamental computer science and information technology (FIIT).

The specialty is close to MOAIS, but is focused on computational experiments and research problems.
In other words, you'll be in top shape as a programmer, but you'll be nearly useless for solving practical business problems. But you are a valuable personnel for R&D departments, scientific laboratories and research teams. Studying in this specialty at a good university gives you the opportunity to choose a place of work around the world, working in well-known companies. It is already initially assumed that a bachelor's degree will be only the first step of your education.

Quite real story: Having received a bachelor's degree at Moscow State University, enter the CalTech master's program. Of course, physics, algebra and calculus should be your passion.

Informatics and computer technology (ICT)

The specialty is focused on training system programmers who work with hardware. You will have skills in programming robots, real-time systems, and working with a blowtorch. With such an education, develop boring accounting systems and you won’t want a web application, but your future career can begin as a video surveillance engineer in a small private security company, or in a robotics laboratory of a large brand (of course, after completing a master’s program).

In my opinion, that’s all with purely programming specialties. Below is a list of specialties that also teach programming. But if the specialties at the top have a curriculum designed so that they graduate as a Programmer, then the specialties below produce a Specialist in something with programming skills.

Not only a programmer

Software Engineering

A relatively new specialty that essentially trains managers software product. This specialist looks beyond development tasks, manages requirements, functionality, versions, and development teams. In the first courses you will learn programming technologies and perhaps a couple of languages, but further on curriculum There will be more and more about software development management. You can start your career as a Junior Developer, but instead of further upgrading to Middle, you will become a project manager.

Applied Informatics

Produces system analysts with a broad outlook in IT and business. They also know how to program, but they are really good at writing technical specifications, formalizing business processes, and communicating effectively with developers who hover in high abstractions. You can become a project manager or even a director of your company if you have such ambitions.

Business Informatics

It is very close to applied computer science, but the graduate’s managerial competencies are much stronger. You can be a consultant on the use of IT or manage the IT policy of a small holding. After receiving your diploma, you can start working even in support, but the career goal “IT Director” can be achieved in a matter of years.

Information systems and technologies

Focus on information technology administration and making the right choice software and hardware for corporate tasks local network. There will be programming, but at a procedural level, closer to scripts and configuration files.

Mathematics and Computer Science

A large portion of fundamental knowledge will allow you to work both as a computer science teacher at school and as an analyst in a large company. In a good university this specialty tends to scientific research and can also be a start in R&D for those who prefer mathematical sciences to physics.

Information Security

The first course is often similar to specialties like MOAIS, where there is a lot of programming and different languages, but then it stops. You don't have to write code, you have to understand how any code can be attacked. Networks and operating systems will be familiar to anyone else, you can call yourself a hacker, but you will have to work in the field of security, with regulatory documents, and not just with firewall and sniffer.

It is important to understand that everything depends on the specific educational institution. This is like the HTML standard and its implementation on the website of a provincial beauty salon. There are universities where students of all specialties attend the same lectures. There are universities where MOAIS studies Visual Basic and Pascal, writes macros in Excel, and studies databases using Access as an example. If in your hometown such a university, then it’s time to buy train tickets.

The choice of specialty upon admission is extremely important, since it determines your future career and, perhaps, your whole life. This is essentially the first independent choice in life and the mistake will be measured in years. Therefore, it’s too early to “exhale” after the Unified State Exam; it’s time to find out as much as possible about the nearest university, its students and teachers. Good luck.
