Rating of the best universities in Yekaterinburg in 2020

The life of a person directly depends on what profession is chosen. Unfortunately, in the modern world there are a large number of unhappy people who are dissatisfied with their work. This is due to the fact that most people choose their future specialty based on prestige, without thinking that in the future they will have to spend a significant part of their lives at work every day, year after year, and it will be very difficult if work does not bring pleasure. In order for the work to bring satisfaction, it is worthwhile to take a responsible approach to the future profession and the choice of an educational institution. The best universities in Yekaterinburg will be discussed below.

How to choose a university

1. First you need to decide on your future profession.
   According to research, by 2022 the most in-demand specialties will be: food production technologist;
   mobile application architect;
   biochemist;
   financial analyst;
   strategist in the field of search and personnel management.

   In turn, the labor market is overflowing with such specialists as:

   lawyer;
   librarian;
   System Administrator;
   bank teller, analyst;
   secretary, logistician;
   driver, dispatcher, journalist.

   When choosing a profession, the first step is to pay attention to personal characteristics, inclinations. If a person does not go to the humanities, then you should not choose such professions as journalist, philologist and so on. Also, you should not choose a profession just because it is in demand. If the market needs biochemists, but these items are hard for a person, he is unlikely to be able to become a demanded specialist. It is better to make a list of specialties of interest for yourself, and then think about their relevance.

2. Compile for yourself a "personal rating" of universities that conduct training in the chosen specialty.
   To do this, you should pay attention to the following points:Budget or commercial training.
   The cost of studying in universities is quite high. Therefore, the first step is to decide whether you can get paid education. If so, the choice of educational institutions will be wider than if you only need a budget.
   University rating.
   The more rated university is chosen, the higher it will be quoted by potential employers. It is worth remembering that education in top-rated universities is more expensive, the number of budget places is lower, competition and the average USE score for admission are higher. You can view the university rating on the website https://russiaedu.ru/rating.
   Form of study.
   There are 3 main forms of education: full-time, part-time, part-time.There are also 3 main training programs: bachelor's (specialist), master's, postgraduate studies.
   The number of budget places.
   In different universities for different specialties, there may be a different number of budget places. The more popular the university and specialization, the fewer budget places there can be. Therefore, if it is the budget that is needed, it is worth giving preference to a less rated university.
   The presence of a hostel, cafe, canteen.
   Cooperation of the educational institution with international universities, the presence of a student exchange program.
   The location of the university, infrastructure.
   At first glance, it may seem that the location of the university plays a small role, but imagine that you have to travel to classes on the other side of the city for at least 4 years. It is necessary to determine for yourself what is more important is the quality of education or your own comfort.
3. Study the requirements of the university for applicants. Passing balls, deadlines for submitting documents, entrance exams for creative specialties - all this should be studied in advance. All relevant information is contained on the official website of the university. In case of admission to a theater university, it is worth taking preparatory courses for applicants in order to understand the logic and requirements of the entrance exams.
