subject: Post-graduate Grading Principles Of The Scientific Workers [print this page] Post-graduate education presupposes starting a scientific career, and the development of research projects aimed at improving any particular aspect of science. In fact, scientific career is based on the constant self-education, and self-improvement, associated with the necessity to increase the complexity of the researches, as well as the structure of argumentation.
The key principles of grading are closely associated with the aspects of research activity, and the difficulty of scientific investigations. Depending on the origins of the study process, the opportunities of the grading system provide the increased possibilities for career growth. Hence, the higher the grade, the wider opportunities are opened.
Grading System
The grading system of the post-graduate education presupposes the division of the qualification levels into several grades. Hence, there are the following degrees:
1.Bachelors degree
2.Masters degree
3.Doctoral degree
4.Honorary degrees
5.Non-degree qualification
In fact, the principles may range a bit; however, the structure stays the same independently on the world region or study specification. The lowest degree presupposes possessing the key abilities associated with research and looking for the necessary information. On the one hand, it is the lowest scientific grade that may be acquired; nevertheless, it presupposes the ability of a person for self-development and self-education. This fact means that he or she will be regarded as a potentially successful; worker in a selected sphere, hence, employers will be glad to see this grade in a CV.
Honorary degrees are assigned for immense achievements. However, these achievements are often not related with science, as honorary grades are assigned for musicians, politicians, poets, artists etc. As for the non-degree qualification, sometimes they may be even more important than a grade, as they are assigned for participation in conferences and grants.
