Are you in elementary school or middle school and you don’t know what postgraduate education is, here is an article that defines the term, and also describes the types, eligibility and application process to study at the postgraduate level.
Education is the foundation of a thriving society. It offers value and guidance from the early stages of learning in the classroom. Education develops skills and talent, enhancing knowledge communication skills, and reasoning.
Getting an education from an early age is essential for developing skill sets that evolve into professional character.
Sumala sa Wikipedia, educational stages are subdivisions of formal learning and it includes early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education.
Postgraduate education falls under the category of tertiary education. This is the level one attains after completing undergraduate education. Academic degrees conferred at this level, include a master’s degree, postgraduate certificate, or diploma, and a doctorate.
What Is Postgraduate Education?
Postgraduate education is any higher education that is completed after an undergraduate degree or diploma. This is usually a prerequisite for participating in a graduate course. It is an upgrade compared to what a student would have studied, and it is an opportunity to focus on a particular area.
Sa usa ka nagkadako nga kompetisyon nga palibot alang sa mga gradwado sa kolehiyo, ang usa ka postgraduate degree mahimo nga maglain kanimo gikan sa ubang mga aplikante nga nangita alang sa parehas trabaho.
In the United States, it is said to be a “graduate education” and would be taken by a graduate student.
Alternatively, students can attend medical school, law school or business school to study these particular areas, after which a postgraduate certificate will be awarded in diploma or master’s as the case may be.
Types of Postgraduate Qualification (certificate and study)
Now we are gradually moving into the main goal of this article, which is to the possible types and/or levels of postgraduate education, and study; from master’s to PhD, postgraduate diploma, non-degree, and honorary awards.
What is a Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma?
Diplomas and certificates are types of postgraduate degrees that are more professional and tailored to a specific professional area.
They are also shorter and less intense than a degree. Students can expect to earn a final certificate after 15 weeks and a final diploma in 6 to 12 months (both if they study full-time).
What Is a Master’s Degree?
A agalon sa agalon is a very common qualification at the postgraduate level and is generally referred to as a graduate degree in the United States.
It can be based on research, a course based on teaching, or a combination of both. Generally, Master of Science (MSc) and Master of Arts (MA) courses are taught, while Masters based on the research include Philosophy (MPhil).
But an MSc can also be a research course). “MBA” is a term used to qualify a master’s degree in Business.
A master’s degree usually lasts 1 to 2 years on a full-time basis. If it is a taught course, it is similar to an undergraduate degree offered through seminars, tutorials, and lectures. At the end of the course, a master’s thesis is assessed.
What Is a Licentiate Degree?
This is one of the types of postgraduate study, that is not talked about all the time.
In countries, like Sweden and Finland, there is a Licentiate Degree that is more advanced than a master’s degree, but less than a doctorate.
Ang gikinahanglan nga mga kredito katumbas sa gibana-bana nga katunga sa mga kredito nga gikinahanglan alang sa usa ka doctorate. Ang mga kinahanglanon alang sa coursework parehas sa usa ka doctorate, apan ang sakup sa inisyal nga panukiduki nga gikinahanglan dili sama ka taas sa doctorate. Ang mga doktor sa medikal nga natad, pananglitan, mga lisensyado kaysa mga doktor.
Sa United Kingdom ug sa mga nasud sama sa Estados Unidos kansang mga sistema sa edukasyon gibase sa modelo sa Britanya.
In the United States, the master’s degree has long been the only graduate course normally awarded, while in most European countries except the United Kingdom, the master’s degree has almost disappeared.
However, in the second half of the 19th century, American universities began to follow the European model by awarding a doctorate, and this practice spread throughout the United Kingdom.
Sa pikas bahin, kadaghanan sa mga unibersidad sa Europa karon nagtanyag kaparehas o kapuli nga mga agalon aron mahatagan ang ilang mga estudyante og mas maayong higayon nga makigkompetensya sa usa ka internasyonal nga merkado nga gidominahan sa modelo sa Amerika sa daghang mga tuig. Sa pagtapos sa kini nga pagtuon, usa ka sertipiko sa postgraduate ang gihatag.
What Is a Doctorate (PhD)?
A doctorate or PhD is a research degree that is studied after completing a master’s degree. A doctorate lasts 3-4 years full-time and is based on much more thorough original research by the student.
In contrast to the previous study, where there is more differentiation between professors and students, doctoral students work with their research director on research, which is related to what the department of this institution is already focusing on.
PhD students are also allowed to work as teaching assistants, where they are allowed to teach undergraduate courses and mark works done by undergraduate students.
What Is an Honorary Degree?
Many universities award honorary degrees, mostly at the postgraduate level. These awards are given to individuals such as artists, writers, musicians, politicians, entrepreneurs, etc. To recognize their accomplishments in their various fields. Recipients of these degrees typically don’t use related titles or letters such as “Dr.”
How Are Postgraduate Courses Taught & Assessed?
As we have already emphasized, postgraduate education is structured differently than undergraduate education. Yes, there are a few similarities between the undergraduate courses and the postgraduate courses.
However, the focus is on students being serious and working on their original research. This idea is further reinforced by the fact that they work as teaching assistants, also attend and speak at conferences and are more likely to get in touch with their study supervisors.
Ang gitudlo nga mga kurso sa postgraduate mahimong masusi dugang sa oral nga mga presentasyon pinaagi sa mga eksaminasyon ug thesis. Bisan pa, ang katapusan nga kwalipikasyon ug grado alang sa mga estudyante sa PhD labi na bahin sa labi ka taas nga tesis.
What are the Eligibility Criteria for a Postgraduate Study?
A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with an upper second-class honour is required for one to enter graduate school. You can take a pre-master course if you do not have the necessary skills and knowledge.
Mahimong adunay mga kurso sa pagkakabig aron matabangan ka nga mabag-o ang imong agianan sa pagtuon. Kung ikaw adunay degree sa unibersidad, imong gipakita nga ikaw adunay mga yawe nga kalidad aron tun-an sa sunod nga lebel. Ang usa ka kurso sa pagkakabig mokompleto sa kahibalo nga gikinahanglan sa pagtuon sa usa ka bag-ong hilisgutan sa sunod nga lebel.
- Kung ang English dili imong inahan nga dila, kinahanglan nimo usab nga matuman ang mga kinahanglanon sa English para sa kurso nga imong gi-aplay.
- Palihug timan-i nga kasagaran alang sa graduate nga mga kurso nga adunay mas taas nga mga kinahanglanon alang sa English admission kaysa sa parehas nga undergraduate nga kurso sa parehas nga unibersidad.
- Ang ubang mga estudyante sa internasyonal mahimo’g kinahanglan nga mokuha ug dugang nga estandard nga mga pagsulay depende sa kung unsang hilisgutan ang gusto nila tun-an o kung diin nila gusto magtuon.
- Mahimo usab nga kinahanglan nimo nga interbyuhon ang imong kaugalingon ug ipakita nga ikaw adunay pondo aron pondohan ang imong pagtuon sa gawas sa nasud pinaagi sa pag-aplay ug pagdawat sa husto nga visa sa estudyante.
Proseso sa pag-aplay
Kung itandi sa mga aplikasyon alang sa mga programa sa bachelor, ang mga deadline alang sa mga aplikasyon alang sa postgraduate, gikan sa master hangtod sa PhD mahimong dili kaayo estrikto sa daghang mga nasud. Diyutay nga mga estudyante ang nag-aplay alang sa postgraduate nga edukasyon.
Ang ubang mga deadline pipila lang ka bulan sa dili pa magsugod ang kurso. Bisan pa, ang mga oras sa pagproseso alang sa mga aplikasyon alang sa mga gradwado usahay mahimong mas dugay kaysa sa mga estudyante sa lebel sa undergraduate, mao nga kinahanglan ka maghulat ug dugay aron mahibal-an kung gidawat ang imong tanyag. Kinahanglan nimo kanunay nga kumpirmahon kini nga hinungdanon nga mga deadline sa institusyon mismo (mahimo kini usa ka pangutana nga imong gipangutana sa usa ka unibersidad).
Kanunay nga gitambagan nga isumite ang imong aplikasyon sa labing sayo nga mahimo aron ang kurso nga imong gi-aplay dili mapuno ug ang imong aplikasyon moabut sa maayong oras sa wala pa ang deadline.
Panapos
Types of Postgraduate study can include the study of qualifications such as postgraduate diplomas, Master’s (master’s), and postgraduate certificates. They are in some cases used as steps towards a normal degree, as part of training for a particular career, or as a qualification in a field of study that is too narrow to justify a full degree course at the postgraduate level.
