The advantages of the military department at the university. What is a military department and how does it differ from a military training center? Is training at the military department compulsory?

For many university applicants, great importance whether there is a military department on the basis of the university. It is known that such a department allows solving the problem of military conscription right within the walls of the university. Thus, for many young people, a university that has military department, looks much more attractive than an educational institution without one. What is a military department, what does it give students in 2018, why is it important not to confuse a department with a military training center.

What is a military department at a university

Military departments at universities are essentially departments of additional education. Additional education in this case, the military specialty acts.

Depending on the duration of the course, a student, attending additional classes, can acquire the specialty of a soldier, sergeant or lieutenant. Thus, the problem of military conscription is solved - students acquire a military specialty in a civilian university, without undergoing military service.

Graduating from a university and receiving a diploma, a student already has a military ID and is a private, sergeant or reserve lieutenant. He does not need to serve in the army.

What title a student will receive depends on the program and the duration of the course:

  • reserve soldier (or sailor) - 18 months,
  • sergeant (or foreman) of the reserve - 24 months,
  • reserve officer - 30 months.

Classes at the military department usually take one extra day of study. If, for example, classes at the university go from Monday to Friday, then students of the military department study until 8-9 o'clock on Saturday. Classes can include both theory and practical part, including visits to the territory of the nearest military unit.

Why you should not confuse the military department and the military training center

When entering a university and focusing on whether a particular university has a military department, a young person needs to be careful. In addition to military departments, there may also be military training centers at universities.

The difference between them is quite significant. The main difference is that the military department trains reserve servicemen, and the training center trains future contract soldiers.

Simply put, a student, when he graduates from a military department, receives a military ID and goes to the reserve, he is not obliged to serve in the army. But a student of a military training center signs a contract, according to which he is obliged, after graduation, to go to the service in the specialty and in the rank that he receives in this center. The term of service under such a contract is at least three years.

Military training centers are more suitable for those who would like to do military career. In fact, civilian universities with such centers are an alternative to military universities. And if for some reason a young man could not enter a military university, he can apply to a civilian university with a military training center. Such a university provides a deeper education in civilian specialties and a less profound one in military specialties. However, this is an opportunity to join the troops with the rank of junior officer and start a career in the army.

If for young man the main thing is to avoid military service after graduation, he needs a military department.

Military departments ... Sometimes their presence or absence becomes the main priority when choosing. Of course, this primarily concerns young people, and not the fragile representatives of the weak half of humanity, but nevertheless, there is already a fairly strong conviction about this.

In accordance with it, as a rule, there is a military department in universities with a more positive reputation. The level of education in such institutes or universities is in most cases an order of magnitude higher, which means that the competition for applicants is more serious.

In this article we will talk not only about what these formations represent, the reader will learn about their influence on the entire education system as a whole, as well as about what institutes with a military department are available in our capital.

Section 1. General definition of the concept

To date, get military education It is possible not only in higher military schools.

Under civil educational institutions specifically for the purpose of training officers massively and everywhere in the territory Russian Federation military departments are being created.

The achievement of the goals that this formation faces is carried out in various ways, including within the framework of the military training cabinet, the military department, the organization of the military training cycle, the faculty of military training, the military training center, the military training faculty. The choice for students is actually huge.

Section 2. How does the military department affect the education system?

Any citizen in Russia, except for strictly defined categories, can be drafted into the army for active service.

As a rule, students who have been trained at the military department, at military service are no longer invited. It is in connection with this that the universities, in which military departments are organized, enjoy priority among applicants throughout the country. Although, frankly speaking, a possible motive for such behavior is precisely the desire to avoid being drafted into the active army.

IN modern Russia such universities are especially popular. A higher competition for admission leads to the fact that in which a military department has been created, they accept more prepared applicants.

According to experts, this state of affairs has led to the creation of conditions for unfair competition among Russian universities. As a result, the quality of the educational process where there is no military department suffers significantly, since relatively weak applicants are initially accepted there.

There is another consequence of the special situation of universities where such departments function. Due to their favorable position, as recent practice shows, they are more relaxed about the need to constantly take care of their image and create conditions for improving the quality of the educational process.

Section 3. Military department in Moscow

Currently, they are already functioning in 27 Russian universities. And now it is quite possible to get a higher education in universities of a humanitarian profile.

A number of establishments technical profile lost such formations that were actively functioning during the Soviet Union.

As a result, technical universities began to lose contact with defense enterprises and the opportunity to practically master the new equipment that military factories produce. In addition, graduates technical universities, where the military departments were abolished, they had to start serving in the army in the position of an ordinary private.

Accredited formations today function in:

  • MATI - Russian State Technological University. K. E. Tsiolkovsky;
  • Interregional Institute of Economics and Law under the EurAsEC (St. Petersburg);
  • National Research Nuclear Institute MEPhI (Moscow)
  • another 23 Russian universities.

The Union of Rectors stands for their creation in more universities. To date, 62 more educational institutions are ready to open it. However, the Ministry of Defense came up with a different idea - to create scientific companies in universities. Service after the military department is also of great importance in this moment is under development.

Section 4. MGIMO

One of the leading Russian universities with such a department is MGIMO, whose graduates study international relations.

MGIMO is the founder of this educational institution. This educational institution has a military department that produces military linguists - this university organizes training in 53 foreign languages. Thanks to this indicator, MGIMO is included in the Guinness Book of Records.

International specialists study at least 2 foreign languages. The rating class of this educational institution is very high, according to the Expert RA agency (2014).

Section 5. MEPhI

This university is a leading research university in Russia. On its territory is located

MEPhI is the organizer scientific research and holding various events in the scientific world. MEPhI actively operates laboratories headed by leading scientists. Within the framework of such laboratories, the problems of nanobioengineering, electromagnetic methods for the production of new materials are studied.

There is a military department in MEPhI, as part of the Faculty of Cybernetics Education at this department is carried out in parallel with the passage of the basic education course. In 2013, MEPhI began work on organizing the formation of scientific companies from among MEPhI graduates who had not been trained at the military department.

Section 6. Expected Changes

In 2014, the preparation of a legal framework for the reform in the field of military training in universities will begin. The purpose of the reform is to create conditions for students to master, in parallel with the civilian, also the army specialty.

It should be noted that the opportunity to conduct military training without interruption from the main one allows for a more rational use of time.

The combination of educational and military training involves a stage of intensive work, since in this case it is necessary to solve many organizational, educational, methodological and financial issues.

Information for reflection for those thinking to do.
Last year I was at a meeting for freshmen, where my parents were very worried about how things were going with the call after VK. If I'm not mistaken, something in the region of 20 people was shaved last year.

Do not go, student, to walk in the army

(7 reasons why a student should not enter the military department)

If service in the army is a debt to the Motherland, then when did I manage to owe so much?

"A primo facie" of the layman to enter the military department is cool. The officer is great! Again, you see, the chances of getting into the army are less. Indeed, earlier, entering the military department, the student was 90% sure that he had avoided the fate of being drafted into our valiant armed forces. However, "Nihil simper suo statu mane". Now there are 7 main reasons why you should avoid entering into a contract with the military department.

1. The military department is the worst way to "slope" from the army.
After graduation, in accordance with the contract for training at the military department, you will be obliged to fulfill your obligations, i.e. serve two years as an officer. Admission to the military department is the worst way to realize the desire to be free from obligations to our humane and peace-loving state, which solves external and especially internal problems exclusively by peaceful means.

2. An officer can be called up at any time convenient for the military commissar. If the conscript is still somehow protected by law by the collegiality (albeit formal) of the draft commission and the limitation of the terms of conscription in spring and autumn, then for a reserve officer everything depends on the sole desire of the local military commissar. A reserve officer can be called up at any time only by the sole decision of the military commissar. Thus, you lose, albeit not very honest, but very effective way filing a complaint against the actions of the draft commission in court and "delaying" the case until the end of the draft.

3. Health.
The health requirements for an officer when drafted into military service are not higher, but lower than for a soldier. For example, with myopia in - 6 diopters. an ordinary conscript will be examined for category "B" (limited fit for military service) and will be exempt from conscription. A conscript with the rank of an officer will already be examined as a contract soldier in category "B" (fit with minor restrictions) and will be called up. Conclusion: if you want to have more chances to get into the army, enter the military department.

4. The absence of some delays in the call.
When called up, a reserve officer is not provided with a number of so-called. "social delays". For example, an ordinary conscript who has a child under 3 years old. or two kids? has the right to a deferment, and the conscript officer will again be called up.

5. The impossibility of refusing to serve due to conscience.
Since 2004, the law "On alternative civilian service" has come into force, according to which the term of service for university graduates is 1 year 6 months. or 1 year 9 months, depending on where the young person who chooses alternative civilian service will serve. This, though not much, but still less than the term of service of a drafted officer. You should not have problems with proving that you have a desire not to kill and not to be killed (who said that a doctor working in a hot spot would not be forced to pick up Kalashnikovs?) You should not have. Since you have devoted 6 years of your life to studying how to alleviate the suffering of a patient, it means that you are not indifferent to someone else's pain and it is more important for you to help a particular person, and not "repay a debt" to the state. In the alternative service, you will be able to work as a doctor in a civilian structure or as civilian personnel the same doctor in the hospital. Only, unlike your fellow officer, your working day will not be around the clock, like a military man! and the usual one - as in a "citizen".

6. Big workload at school.
The military department is extra hours. These are optional exams. The knowledge that a student of the military department receives is not of paramount importance for a doctor. In any case, you will study everything related to possible defeats in the war in other, "peaceful" disciplines while studying in medical. university.

7. That sweet word "freedom"
Be a free man- this is great! Is it possible to be free in the army? Doubtful! The army is based on the absolute subordination of juniors to superiors. A military man is a very limited person in freedom

However, if you like to live according to the schedule. You prefer your bosses to think for you, you are tempted to spend the best years of your life in a not very reliable iron box called "submarine", if you are ready to voluntarily give up your freedom for an extra piece of bread (or for underwear from MO), then this is for you. Just remember about "free cheese"

To begin with, let's figure out what is military department at the university and military training center. What are the differences between them and what is right for you.

the federal law "ABOUT military service and military service provides citizens studying in higher educational institutions with two opportunities for voluntary preparation for military service. Article 20 The federal law "On military duty and military service" speaks of training under the military training program for reserve officers at the military department. Article 20.1 of the same law speaks of training under the military training program at the military training center at this educational institution. A conscript must clearly understand the difference between studying at a military department and studying at a military training center, since there is a fundamental difference between them in terms of subsequent military service.

When entering a military department or a military training center, each recruit must keep in mind that training both at a military department and at a military training center is voluntary. Talks about it Art. 20 And st. 20.1 federal law"On military duty and military service", which say that a citizen has the right to conclude an agreement on training at a military department, or a military training center. This is also evidenced by clause 3 of the Regulations on the training of citizens of the Russian Federation under the training programs for reserve officers at military departments at state, municipal or state-accredited non-state educational institutions of higher education in the relevant areas of training (specialties). vocational education, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 14, 1999 No. 1255:

“Education of citizens under the training programs for reserve officers is integral part voluntary preparation of a citizen for military service ...

The training of citizens under the training programs for reserve officers is included in the state educational standards of higher professional education as an additional educational program ... "

Thus, the conscript has the right to both attend and not attend the military department, or the military training center, which in no way deprives him of the right to receive higher education at the university.

There is a very common misconception that the military pulpit has something to do with the reprieve from military service, and many young men go to the military pulpit for fear of being called up for military service. In reality, citizens who study at universities full-time training, have the right to deferment from military service for the duration of training in accordance with paragraph "a" part 2 of Art. 24 of the Federal Law "On military duty and military service". This right has nothing to do with studying at a military department, or at a military training center, and a student can receive a deferral, regardless of whether he is studying at a military department, or at a military training center or not.

In accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of Art. 52 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service", a citizen who has successfully completed the military training program for reserve officers at the military department is credited to the reserve with the assignment military rank officer. In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 22 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service", only citizens who are not in the reserve are subject to conscription. Thus, the end of the military department and enrollment in the reserve with the assignment of the military rank of officer exempts the citizen from conscription for military service in peacetime. This citizen can be called up for military service only in wartime when mobilization is announced.

Citizens who have passed training under the military training program at the military training center find themselves in a completely different position. In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 20.1 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service", a citizen studying at a military training center concludes an agreement not only on training, but also on further military service under the contract after graduation educational institution. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 20.1 of the same law, this citizen is obliged immediately after graduating from the federal state educational institution of higher professional education to conclude a contract for military service. In accordance with paragraphs. "e" p. 3 Art. 38 of the same law, the term of military service of this citizen under the contract should be 3 years. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 20.1 of the same law, in case of refusal to conclude a contract for military service, a citizen is obliged to reimburse the federal budget funds spent on his training at a military training center. At the same time, this citizen is subject to conscription for military service on a general basis.

From the foregoing, it follows that a citizen, making a decision to study at a military training center, actually makes a choice between one year of military service by conscription, and three years of military service by contract. For a citizen who does not want to do military service in principle, studying at a military training center does not provide any advantages.

What is a military department? Why do students need it? How to get to it? Let's figure it out together.

Military classes are held 1-2 times a week

What is a military department and what does it give students

Military department - a department at a civilian university that deals with military training of students. Its essence lies in the fact that in addition to the main specialty, you have the opportunity to get a military profession. After graduation, you will be awarded the rank of officer, sergeant or reserve soldier.

One of the main benefits of learning is exemption from compulsory military service . You can only be called up for military training, which most often lasts no more than a month. If you decide to connect your life with the army, you can enter the contract service.

Another plus is that in some universities, military departments provide additional payments to the basic scholarship.

How to get to the military department

Not everyone can get there. Among those who wish, a competitive selection is carried out. To participate in it you need:

  • the presence of citizenship of the Russian Federation;
  • age not older than 30 years;

  • admission for military service;
  • the absence of an unexpunged or outstanding criminal record and other problems with the law.

Competitive selection is carried out in two stages: preliminary and main. The preliminary one takes place in the military registration and enlistment office, the main one - in the university.

To participate in the preliminary competition, you need to write statement at the military department, providing a passport and registration certificate. After that, the head of the department issues a referral to passing the military medical commission at the military registration and enlistment office at the place of registration or stay. Application deadlines can be found on the website of the university, most often the admission begins from March 18.

To pass the main stage, you need to provide:

  • decision of the medical board on suitability;
  • photo format 4 x 6;
  • a characteristic from the dean's office;
  • record book and student card.
  • supporting document, if there is an advantage in enrollment.

The right to enrollment is entitled to:

  • orphans;
  • military family members;
  • conscripted students.

At the main competitive selection, you need to pass standards for physical training: running at a distance of 100 m and 3 km, pull-ups on the crossbar. Admission to the department is carried out according to their results, as well as after analyzing the overall performance.

After graduating from the military department, you can enlist in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

How is the educational process at the military department

Students who entered the department continue their education in their specialty and at the same time undergo military training. For this War days are determined 1-2 times a week. The total training period for reserve officers is 3 years, for sergeants - 2, for soldiers - 1.5.

The military day begins at 8:45 am with the morning formation and inspection. Then students proceed to theoretical and practical classes. In theory, they study the statutes, orders and disciplines that correspond to their military profession. Practical classes consist of fire, drill and tactical training. At the end of the general period of study, military training takes place, which lasts 1 month.

Students at the military department are presented with increased requirements for discipline and appearance . Guys must wear a short haircut, piercings, tattoos, jewelry and other defiant attributes are not allowed. Behind gross violations discipline and internal regulations students can be expelled.

What is the difference between a military department and military training centers

If you decide to enter the military department, be careful in some universities instead of them there are military training centers (UVC). It's not the same thing. Upon admission to the UHC, the Ministry of Defense enters into an agreement with a student, according to which he is obliged, after graduation, to serve in the army for 3 years in the status of an officer. Catch.

The military department is not just an excuse from the army. And getting on it is not so easy. Remember that in addition to basic training, you will have to complete the Young Fighter Course (KMB). If you are ready for this, start now to pull up your physical training. After all, only the strong and hardy are taken to the military department.
