Why go to an open day. How to attend an open day. What can be done

Day open doors- an official event that is held annually in each university. Surprising as it may seem, many applicants who know about this day, for the most part, usually ignore it. And completely in vain, becausegive them a unique chance to get acquainted with the future place of study and get answers to many questions on which their future depends.

What is d open door day at universities

Such events are arranged in order to acquaint potential students with a possible place of study. Usually the event consists of two parts: the first is devoted to a general acquaintance with the educational institution, and the second is to communicate with representatives of the chosen faculty. The first part of the meeting gives a chance to learn more about the presence of a military department at the university, about the possibility of obtaining a hostel or the procedure for paying for studies - in a word, to get all the necessary information about the university as a whole.

Usually the rector conducts the first part of the meeting with future applicants. Already by the tone of his speech, one can determine what orders reign here. Of course, the rector should motivate the audience to enter the university he leads, but he should do it as objectively as possible. Ideally, all positive words should be supported by real facts, for example, at least a few annual conferences, the presence in the university of international exchange programs and its own laboratories, a high percentage of employment in the specialty, positiveuniversity reviews from students and graduates or something else. If officials if they sing the praises of their school without any evidence, but at the same time they allow negative reviews about competitors, then, most likely, the affairs of this university are much worse than it seems.

Acquaintance with the faculty and first-hand reviews of the university

Acquaintance with the future faculty is the second important part of the open day. It is during a tour of the faculty and communication with the dean that you can learn a lot about the features of the chosen specialty, as well as about the possibilities of preferential admission or attending special courses conducted for applicants. Here you can also ask questions about the availability of postgraduate studies, about the directions of scientific research of the departments and about everything related to the life of the faculty.

As a rule, the second part of the open day is attended not only by officials, but also by students, from whom you can hear feedback about the university, faculty, and teachers. This information will help you understand how expectations from future studies correspond to reality, and will also allow you to decide for yourself whether you really want to study here.

What is an Open Day?

Open Door Days (DOD) are events held annually by universities, the purpose of which is to attract applicants to a university, answer all questions regarding the conditions for entering a university, areas of study, etc. This name "Open Day" was given because usually at the entrance to the educational and laboratory buildings of Institutes and Universities you will be asked for a document - a student card, a postgraduate certificate. And in the DOD in the building educational institution anyone can enter. Welcome guests are high school students and their parents.

FOR WHAT?

A visit to the DOD can be useful for solving the following problems:

1. Obtaining information about universities in general

(that is, about what the market offers educational services, and what options are available). If you have already chosen a specialty for yourself (name of profession), but do not know where exactly to get an education - write out from the directory of universities those where there is a faculty you are interested in and, closer to spring, call them - find out the dates of the DOD. And then arrange "chess" on open days. If the purpose of your visit is introductory, do not pay too much attention to details such as "documents required for admission", but rather concentrate on what departments the faculty has, what specializations, and where graduates get jobs. Pay attention to the "general impression" of the university.

2. Checking the variant

Suppose you liked the university - and its description in the directory, and the call to the admissions committee inspired you, and even the website on the Internet demonstrates the seriousness of the university and its high level. In this case, it makes sense to come to the DOD in order to take a closer look at the potential alma mater. As a result of visiting 2-3 DOD, you will need to make a final choice in favor of one of the two options (leave, just in case, one more "working" one - you suddenly change your mind). So approach the DOD as a source of comprehensive information needed to make a decision. Make a table in which enter the conditions for admission, where graduates work, the size of the university and the estimated costs of education, competition, etc. Then enter in this table data on other universities, DOD which you will visit. The table should be as detailed as possible, so it’s better not to remove it at DOD and write down everything that comes along the way. In the evening, after the visit, fill in the column "personal impressions" (as you would write down impressions about your day in a diary). This will help later to restore the image of the University in memory. By the way, we cannot explain some things rationally - but we feel intuitively. So, if you already feel “something is not right” (it seems that the university is decent, but I don’t like it, I don’t have a soul for it) - look for something else, trust your intuition.

3. Obtaining specific information about the conditions of admission

Although you decided to enter the University in the 6th grade and you know everything about it, it is still worth going to the DOD. For the latest information. After all, the conditions for admission (list entrance exams, dates and order) are subject to change. New specializations and faculties may appear, the university may move. To be prepared for surprises, carefully write down the information regarding the current year - and run to get ready: Especially since you found your tutor just at the same DOD (there usually come teachers-tutors who specialize just in preparing for admission to this university, to this faculty).

WHEN?

DOD usually takes place 1-3 times a year. Each university determines its own date for the DOD. Moreover, large universities hold both a general DOD (or just a general meeting) and faculty ones. Faculty DOD are not held on the same day, but on different days - so that applicants who have not yet decided on the choice of faculty can go to different ones. Almost always, DOD takes place on Sunday: there are no classes (that is, students), and parents with applicants are not at work or at school.

WHAT IS WAITING FOR ME?

The first stage of DOD is usually held in assembly, conference rooms and halls. There are tables and a microphone on the stage or dais. There are usually the rector of the university, the dean of the faculty, the chairman of the selection committee, deputy. By academic work and so on. They speak: about the education system in a given university (for example, what are the levels of education - specialist, bachelor, master), about the rules for admission in a given academic year. On the departments and specializations. They tell (or show slides or videos) about the university - how many students study, how much money has been spent this year on furniture and computers, how well the graduates are doing (and where). can touch and brief description curriculum(for example, how many workshops, is there a summer practice - this happens in specialties such as "biologist", "geologist", is there an industrial practice and where). At the end of this, the general part is invited to ask questions.

Here are some questions you can ask:

1. Does your university pass the state attestation?

3. How are things going with the military department and deferment from the army?

4. Does the university have a hostel and is it provided to residents of the periphery?

5. What is the hostel fee?

9. Is it possible to apply for several specialties?

10. Is it possible to study at two faculties at the same time?

11. What subjects do the medalists take at the entrance exams?

12. Are the results of centralized testing taken into account and for which faculties?

13.What is the average special education considered profile. Is it taken into account upon admission and is work experience taken into account?

14. Is there a distribution after graduation?

15. What firms does the university cooperate with in terms of graduate employment?

16. Is it possible to get a second higher education at your university

17. Is the second education paid?

18. How much does a second higher education cost?

19. How many students study on a paid basis?

20. Is it possible to transfer from a paid form of education to a free one during the learning process?

21. With a lack of points when entering a university, is it possible to enter a technical school or other universities?

22. Is it possible to move from faculty to faculty during the course of study?

23. Is it possible to transfer to your university from another university?

24. Is it possible to transfer from evening to full-time education?

You can ask the same number of questions, it is better to prepare them in advance on a separate piece of paper and transfer them to the stage.

Consultations on the conditions of admission and the organization of entrance examinations to the University (more detailed) are usually carried out already in the premises of the admission committee. However, the chairman Admission Committee may well go on stage and, following the general part, talk about admission and answer questions. Carefully write down all dates and names, because a mistake in such information can be costly.

Now applicants and their parents are dispersing from the conference hall around the building of the educational institution. Near the departments, poster presentations and speeches by teachers are usually waiting for them, who talk about their specialty or specialization, praise it in every possible way, and even form excursion groups - for those who want to walk around the laboratories, visit an experimental factory, arboretum or publishing house at any of the departments. Here you will be told about priority areas scientific research, about the latest achievements and latest developments, as well as show an impressive list of graduates of the department working in the most prestigious organizations.

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU?

In addition to a pen and a notepad (right, instead of a thick notebook it is convenient to use a small notebook - it is more mobile), take some money with you. Very often, field tents with literature for applicants are set up in the lobby of the building in the DOD - both with information about the university and with manuals for preparing for exams. Immediately, the walls and stands are full of advertisements for the services of tutors. Carefully tear off the paper strip with the phone and fold it into a separate transparent "file" brought with you specifically for this purpose. Paper tabs tucked into a pocket tend to get lost.

Branches offer their services here. pre-university training, training courses profiled schools. Write down their coordinates (all existing proposals), having the greatest confidence in faculty preparatory courses: after all, they give the specifics of the program best of all, and the teachers will be the same at the exams.

By the way, if DOD in the universities you are interested in are held on the same day - do not try to chase two birds with one stone: you are only out of breath, and important information lose here and there. Better cooperate with friends, classmates - and share "spheres of influence". By the way, writing down information "for another" you will be more accurate and detailed, which will ultimately benefit you yourself.

If the theater begins with a hanger, then the university starts with an open day. It is after this event that most applicants make the final decision whether or not to enter the chosen institute. So, what points do you need to find out at the open day so that the impression of the university is the most objective?

Most educational institutions hold open days in the spring or fall. Usually, information about this event is advertised quite widely: announcements on the official websites and information stands of the university, announcements in specialized publications, etc. It is not necessary to go to an open day, but it is desirable: first of all, the applicant himself needs it. Ideally, it would be nice to "check in" at this meeting several times: in the 10th grade - for a purely educational purpose, in the autumn of graduation school year- to finally decide on the faculty, specialty, specialization and form of education, and in the spring - to find out the conditions for admission.

Who gets up early...

An open day is a rather long event: it usually starts at 10 am and lasts five to six hours. Considering that there is almost the whole day ahead, there may be a temptation to come later - they say, there is a lot of time, everything will be in time. In fact, you should show up at the open day half an hour before the start of the official part to look around, get acquainted with the agenda, study advertising booklets and methodological brochures (most often they are sold in the lobby). By the way, the literature for applicants usually already contains FAQ - answers to the most common questions.

Rules of the Open Day

Open days in all universities are built according to the same scheme: a general fee - an introductory part (for example, in Russian University Friendship of Peoples (PFUR), a short video about the university is shown first) - the rector's word - a speech by two or three more people from the administration - consultations in classrooms at faculties. After the official part, applicants and their parents get the opportunity to ask all their questions. As practice shows, guests prefer to send notes from the audience to the presidium: many are embarrassed to contact the rector personally. The most popular questions can be divided into two groups: of a general nature (possible forms of education, military department, the procedure for conducting introductory exams etc.) and specific, i.e. related to a certain specialty, specialization, etc. The latter are best asked not at a general meeting, but directly at the faculty - in this case, you will receive a more comprehensive answer.

Rector's word

The rector's address to applicants is the key moment of the open day. By the way the speech is constructed, you can tell a lot about the educational institution. Ideally, this monologue should be as specific as possible: guests want to hear a story about the specifics of this university, and not about the system higher education generally. The purpose of the rector's address is to explain to applicants how this institute differs from dozens of similar ones, why the education received here is especially valuable, what prospects await graduates. If the speech consists of endless praises to the alma mater and - worse than that - negative statements about colleagues from "competing organizations", it's time to wonder if everything is so good in the "Danish kingdom".

Thirteen important questions for the rector

The rector's address is over, and it's time to ask questions. Ideally, it is better to make a list of points of interest to you at home, otherwise you can forget or miss a lot. So, what needs to be clarified at the open day?

1. University status: usually applicants are aware in advance which university they are going to enter - state or non-state. Nevertheless, if the educational institution is not included in the "top ten", if there is not too much information about it, it is better to clarify this point once again.

   If the university is non-state Be sure to find out if the university has a license and a certificate of state accreditation. These documents are fundamental: the first guarantees the right to organize training as such, the second guarantees the right to issue state diplomas. Both the license and the accreditation are "renewed" every five years. By the way, the presence of an accreditation certificate should also be clarified at a state university - especially for new, recently opened specialties (to be accredited, a specialty must exist at the university for at least five years).

   It is very important whether a non-state university has its own building. If not, you need to find out for how long the lease agreements are concluded. It is not difficult to determine the absence of a university’s own premises: usually such educational institutions rent several small areas (often in different parts of the city), and rent the building of a concert hall or cinema to hold an open day. If you find yourself in such an environment, be sure to specify where exactly the classes will take place. It is possible that the "spacious bright classrooms" will be in the area of ​​South Butovo or Strogino.

2. Entrance tests: the procedure for conducting exams in your chosen specialty, terms, features. Do not forget to find out if the university counts USE results, and if so, what system of points transfer is adopted at this institute.
3. Competition and passing score: as a rule, last year's data is given as a guide, but do not forget that the competition is a rather inaccurate "measuring device": many applicants apply to several universities at once, in this case the number of "mythical" applicants for one place can significantly exceed the real ones numbers.
4. Privileges: if you belong to one or another group of beneficiaries, it makes sense to clarify how your right can be exercised in a particular university: what documents and certificates you need to collect. The provision on granting benefits does not apply to commercial universities - this issue is decided at the discretion of the local administration.
5. Olympics: besides All-Russian Olympiad Many large universities hold their own competitions for schoolchildren, and their winners can, by decision of the university administration, receive certain advantages upon admission.
6. Training courses: the mode of their work, possible forms of training (full-time, part-time, remote, etc.). It is also worth asking if applicants who complete these courses receive any privileges upon admission.
7. Military department: it is worth noting that the question of the possibility of receiving a deferral from the army is usually not forgotten, and sometimes it is raised several times at the open day.
8. Dormitory: free places, conditions of settlement (paid / free, immediately or after some time from the moment of admission to the university).
9. Education system: it can be either two-stage - bachelor's degree (four years) + master's degree (two years), or traditional (built according to a five-year scheme).
10. Teaching Staff: the ratio of the number of own and freelance teachers, the number of teachers with academic degrees. A university may have about 30-40% of freelance teachers - usually these are practitioners who combine their main work with teaching. This ratio is considered the most optimal for a progressive educational institution.
11. Material and technical base: equipping the university with computers, the availability of libraries (including electronic ones), sports grounds, recreation centers, etc.
12. Features of paid education: this issue is relevant for both commercial and state universities that have paid departments. You need to find out a number of details: how much you have to pay per year, is it possible to get a loan for education, is it planned to increase the cost of education over the next five years. If you are going to study for money, you can ask for a sample of the contract that is concluded between the student and the university for review.
13. Practice: the possibility of internships abroad, contacts of the university with potential employers, prospects for further employment.

Default figure

By the way the rector and other participants of the open day answer questions from the audience, one can form an opinion not only about their oratorical abilities, but also about the "transparency" and openness of the educational institution as a whole. In fact, there is no place for "fog" and a veil of mystery at the presentation of the university - each question must find a specific, exhaustive answer. All aspects related to education (starting from the ratio of paid and budget places in a particular specialty and ending with the period of validity of licenses and lease agreements) cannot be the subject of trade secrets.

Feel free to ask questions

An open day at RUDN University is always held in a solemn atmosphere and, as a rule, begins with a general meeting in the assembly hall, during which university guests ask questions directly to our rector Vladimir Mikhailovich Filippov.

What is important here? Feel free to ask questions. If you did not have time to do this at the general meeting, you can find out the points that interest you later, at the faculty meeting. Lots of questions come in. Among them, a large percentage of those that are repeated from year to year: is there a deferment from the army, are there any benefits for medalists and college graduates, who can count on living in a hostel, etc. Questions related to a single state exam. From funny questions - "Will it be possible to play in your KVN team?". In addition, the guests of the university are concerned about such topical issues for all as the spread of drugs, security, racial intolerance and others. It is important to note that not a single question asked at the open day (whether in writing or orally) remains unanswered.

Discussion

IMHO, the lion's share of the answers to the proposed questions for the open day can be read on the university website (and they can be viewed and considered in advance). And the day of open doors, first of all, is a check of the coincidence of one's own expectations and real professions and departments of the university. So it’s just right to go to the faculties (sometimes the departments, if their representatives are not at the general faculty meeting), listen and ask what problems the faculty and departments are dealing with, where graduates go to work, what they do there, how much they get, etc. It happens that the details are very disappointing and the question arises of a different university.

Open day at the university - why is it needed?

Open Day usually takes place in all universities, 1-3 such events can be held per year. On such days at universities and institutes you can get a lot of interesting and useful information. Open days are intended not only for applicants, but also for their parents.

What it is?

IN Open day at the university prepare stands with brochures and booklets about the faculties. Applicants can consult with representatives and find out how to enter the budget. In an educational institution, they can tell applicants about how it goes educational process.

Much attention is paid to the future of faculty graduates. After all, applicants and their parents are interested not only and not so much in the study itself, but in the result. The result does not mean obtaining a diploma, but employment. Therefore, universities talk a lot about graduates, about practice and about which companies the educational institution cooperates with.

Why is this needed?

Open Day allows one of the students to decide on. Many school students do not know where to go and what profession to choose. It is difficult to do this without attending an educational institution. At the event, the student has the opportunity to look at the classrooms and laboratories at the university, see how the educational process goes, read brochures and compare the attractiveness of different professions.

Parents also need an open day. One of the parents cannot give recommendations to their child on the choice of faculty. Someone needs to make sure that the university really produces demanded specialists. In some cases, elders have to convince their children to prepare for university.

An open day is also an event where a future applicant receives a lot of useful information about upcoming exams. Many applicants are worried and cannot take up the preparation for exams. Going to college can help relieve stress.

How to find out about the event?

To visit the Open Day, you need to know about it in advance. Such events are usually held at the end of spring, in the middle of winter or at the beginning of the school year. Pick a day off for the meeting. You can find out about the upcoming event via the Internet on the website of the educational institution. Such information is published in the news section of the university. Often universities publish the main news on the main page of the site.

An open day at a university is a great opportunity to look at an educational institution "from the inside" and make a final decision about whether the chosen institute or university meets your criteria and whether it is worth entering it. How open days are held in Russian universities, and what you should pay attention to so that the impression of the educational institution is as objective as possible, you will learn from this article.

Open day at the university- this is a great opportunity to look at the educational institution "from the inside" and make the final decision on whether the chosen institute or university meets your criteria and whether it is worth enrolling in it. You will learn about how open days are held in Russian universities, and what you should pay attention to so that the impression of the educational institution is as objective as possible, you will learn from this article.

Rules for holding open doors

Open days in Russian universities are usually held in spring or autumn. Information about such events is advertised quite widely: announcements on information stands and official websites of a higher educational institution, announcements in specialized publications, etc.

This event begins, most often, at 10 am, and lasts for 5-6 hours. The schedule of the event in all universities is built according to the generally recognized scheme: general meeting - introductory part - rector's speech - speeches by administration representatives - consultations at faculties.

What to look out for and what questions to ask

The general impression of the university can be obtained already based on the condition of the premises. If the classrooms are in a deplorable state, then this may indicate either that the rector of the educational institution is a very bad manager, or that the "lion's share" of the funds allocated to finance the university ends up in the "pockets" of the administration. In both cases, it is worth considering whether you really want to study at this educational institution.

A lot of information can be gleaned from the official speech of the rector, and it is worth paying attention not so much to the words themselves, but to their background. If the rector's speech consists of only praises of the university entrusted to him, and, worse, critical statements about colleagues and competing educational institutions, then you should think about the fact that things are not going as well in this educational institution as the rector wants to imagine.

In order not to get confused and find out all the questions that interest you, it is best to make a list of those points that interest you in advance. Ideally, the list should look something like this:

1. University status. As a rule, applicants at the stage of selection find out the status of the university - public or private. However, if the educational institution is not very popular, and there is very little information in the public domain about it, it is better to clarify this point once again.
2. Accreditation. If you have chosen a private university, you should definitely ask about the availability of a license and a certificate of state accreditation. These are fundamental documents that guarantee the right of an educational institution to study and issue state-recognised diplomas. By the way, in state university it is also worth clarifying about accreditation (especially for newly opened specialties).
3. Education system. Today, a university can have both a traditional education system (built according to a five-year scheme) and a two-stage one - a bachelor's degree (4 years), and then a master's degree (2 years).
4. Entrance exams. First of all, you should be interested in the procedure for conducting exams in the specialty you have chosen, the timing and features of their conduct. It is also worth clarifying whether the results of the Unified State Examination are counted in this university, and what system for transferring points is adopted.
5. Contest. Most often, it is customary to cite last year's data as an approximate guideline. However, it must be understood that these data are very inaccurate, since many applicants apply to several universities at once, so there may be much fewer real applicants.
6. Privileges. If you belong to the category of beneficiaries, then it is necessary to clarify exactly how your right to the benefit will be exercised and what documents you need to provide to receive it.
7. Training courses. If you are planning to enroll in training courses, then it is necessary to clarify the mode of their work and possible forms of training (full-time, part-time, etc.). It would also be useful to ask if you will receive any privileges for admission after completing the courses.
8. Olympics. Some universities hold their own competitions, the winners of which may receive some advantages upon admission. It is also worth clarifying what advantages you have if you are the winner of school olympiads.
9. Availability of training space. This item also applies to private universities: it is necessary to clarify whether the educational institution has its own building. If the building of the university is rented, then it is necessary to clarify the terms for which the lease agreement is concluded. The fact is that if the building is rented, and the lease term ends, for example, next year, then it is quite possible that next year you will have to attend classes in premises that are located in an area that is inconvenient for you.
10. Dormitory. This question is very relevant for nonresident applicants. You should be interested in whether there are free places, and what are the conditions for settling (free or paid, immediately after enrollment or after some time).
11. Military Department. Most likely, the question of a possible deferment from the army will be asked more than once, but it is worth once again making sure of this possibility.
12. Material and technical base. Ask about the availability of libraries, recreation centers, sports grounds, etc. It is also very important to find out how the educational institution is equipped with computers and other equipment.
13. Practice. You should be interested in employment prospects after graduation, the possibility of internships abroad or in large domestic enterprises operating at the international level, and the contacts of the educational institution with potential employers.
14. Teaching Staff. The most optimal ratio of the teaching staff is: 60-70% of in-house teachers and 30-40% of freelance teachers who combine teaching with their main job.
15. Features of paid education. It is imperative to find out such questions as the amount of the annual payment, whether it is possible to get a student loan, whether the cost of education will increase, etc.

Conclusion

When you get acquainted with the university, which will quite possibly become the place of your study, remember that for every question the administration and Teaching Staff should give a clear and complete answer. Otherwise, the "transparency" of the work of the university can be safely called into question. It is important to understand that all aspects related to education in one way or another (from the duration of the license and the lease of the building to the ratio of budgetary and paid places) are not the subject of trade secrets.
