subject: Post-graduate Education: Aims And Principles Of Science [print this page] In fact, post-graduate education is generally divided in two aspects: scientific career, and education for career development. Hence, the aims and principles of both variants are different. Considering the necessity to start the scientific career, a person needs to assess his or her abilities and skills, whether they suit the requirements of scientific activity. The aims of such education will be explained by the strong determination to make the important scientific discovery, which will improve the existing scientific sphere, or even improve the whole world. Hence, people are pursuing aims which are filled with nobility. As for the matters of educational aspects, students need to find out all the aspects of the research project in order to be sufficiently motivated for fulfilling all the research requirements. The principles of the education for these aims will involve the following:
1.Wider and deeper study of the selected research project
2.Relation of the research sphere with the similar spheres
3.Assessment of the research perspectives
Career Growth Perspective
Considering the perspectives of career growth, it should be stated that the principles of post-graduate education, linked with the (non-scientific) career growth, are closely associated with the requirements of the career. In fact, people rarely choose to start post-graduate education, as qualification improvement courses are simpler and more available. Nevertheless, grade offers more opportunities for further career growth, and a person becomes a more valued worker. Nevertheless, it presupposes higher responsibility level, and more complex educational process. The aims and principles of this education will be:
1.Research of the topic, required for business sphere improvement
2.Discovery and development of the business sphere links with other aspects of business activity, and related spheres
3.Looking for a way of improving the theoretical base of the business activity
