It happens that a student could not, due to any circumstances, master the program of a higher educational institution in full. Or he continues to study, but wants to get a job with the knowledge he has already obtained. In such cases, we are talking about incomplete higher education. What does this concept mean? Is it possible to get a decent job, having studied the materials of only a few university courses? What document can confirm the existing incomplete higher education? The answers to these and other questions are in the article below.
What does incomplete higher education mean?
Persons who have graduated from a university, institute or academy are given a diploma. An incomplete higher education is considered such an education when a student has not fully completed a course of study at a university. In our time, this can be confirmed by the presence of a special certificate. Prior to its appearance, higher educational institutions issued other documents testifying to the fact of incomplete education.
In the case when studies at the university were completed before October 24, 2007 and the student successfully passed the exams for at least two courses, the supporting document is a diploma of incomplete higher education. If intermediate certification has not been passed, a person can only have academic certificate.
If studies at the university were completed between October 24, 2007 and September 1, 2013, then the document confirming the existing incomplete higher education is an academic certificate. In the event that the learning process occurred after this, the student is issued a relevant certificate of training. How to get incomplete higher education? The answer can be found below.
Necessary steps
What needs to be done to get an incomplete higher education? To do this, it is enough to take an incomplete course of study at a university. Until 2007, the following norm was established: a diploma of incomplete higher education could be issued to a student only if the attestations in all disciplines of the first two courses were successfully passed. Now there are no such restrictions. The certificate confirming the presence of incomplete education will list the actual duration of training and the results of certification.
Thus, incomplete higher education is that level of training when a student has not mastered the university program in full. Is it possible in this case to get a job in a specialty? Let's try to figure it out.
Applying for work with incomplete higher education
Some enterprises recruit staff based only on previous work experience, real skills and the general qualification level of the future employee, not paying attention to his education. In this case, the management of the company is enough just to have a resume.
However, most companies want their staff to consist of employees who have received the basic course of specialized higher education. For the management of such enterprises, it is not particularly important whether the future employee continues training or left this occupation. But they need confirmation that the person really studied at the appropriate university. It is for this case that such a document as a certificate of incomplete higher education is provided.
What is such a document?
From January 1, 2014, any student can confirm their incomplete higher education with a corresponding certificate of education.Such a document is received by persons who have not completed a full course of study at a university, academy or institute. A certificate of incomplete higher education is issued to a student if he has not completely overcome the educational program, but only part of it. Also, this document can be obtained in the case when the final certification was not passed successfully or the student was expelled from the educational institution.
AT Education Act it was established that the content of the certificate, as well as its form, is independently approved by the university. As a rule, this document contains the following information:
- f. and. about. a student;
- name of the university, specialty and faculty;
- list of studied disciplines;
- information about passed tests and exams;
- training period.
If such a certificate is issued to a person, this does not mean that he was expelled from the academy, institute or university. Often this document is necessary for applying for a job, and the student will continue to receive education. In this case, the certificate must necessarily indicate that the training continues. What is needed to receive a special document on incomplete higher education? The answer is given in the next section.
How to get help?
To obtain a certificate confirming that a person has an incomplete higher education, you need to contact the educational part of the university. A corresponding request should be made in the name of the rector. 
Regardless of when the training took place and how long it lasted, the university is obliged to issue such a certificate. This procedure is free.
Why do I need help?
Such a certificate is necessary in two cases:
- If a student had to interrupt the educational process for any reason, this document will allow him to recover at a university in the future.
- If a person wants to get a job, the management of the enterprise will need confirmation that he really learned the basics of the specialty. Moreover, this document is needed if the training has already been stopped, and when this process is still ongoing.
Conclusion
Incomplete higher education is such a level of education when a student has not fully mastered the university program. It does not matter if the learning process is completed or continues. The document confirming the presence of incomplete higher education is the corresponding certificate, which, if requested, is issued in the educational part of the university. This document is necessary if the student decided to get a job in the specialty, but the learning process is still incomplete. You should be aware that representatives of such professions as a lawyer, doctor or university teacher are required to have completed higher education.
