With so many university degrees and extensions that include students who have already graduated from college, choosing a course to continue their studies is not always a simple task and, even those who are fully immersed in the university world, may have doubts about the meaning behind of some programs abroad.<\/p>\n
This is because the titles acquired in Brazil are not always equivalent or have the same meanings as those offered in educational institutions in other countries, such as universities in the United States and Europe. With that in mind, we've prepared a terminology guide to help you prepare and hit the right\u00a0choosing a higher education abroad<\/strong>. Check out!<\/p>\n As in Brazil, there are\u00a0two postgraduate categories abroad<\/strong>: lato sensu and stricto sensu. The fundamental difference between them is that the\u00a0lato sensu consists of a specialization<\/strong>\u00a0and the student does not earn an academic title at the end of the course. already the\u00a0stricto sensu is composed of scientific and academic training courses<\/strong>, such as masters and doctorates.<\/p>\n THE\u00a0postgraduate studies<\/strong>\u00a0Lato sensu<\/strong>\u00a0It is ideal for those who are already in the job market and seek improvement and evolution in their area of expertise. Even without granting any academic degree, these courses are usually highly valued in the job market because they have\u00a0focus on hands-on professional training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n already the\u00a0stricto sensu postgraduate<\/strong>\u00a0is more focused on\u00a0academic aspect<\/strong>. The study in these courses is more objective and less broad, closely related to the\u00a0research and theoretical knowledge<\/strong>. It is indicated for those who intend to pursue a career as a researcher or university professor and acquire a master's or doctorate degree.<\/p>\n O\u00a0MBA<\/strong>\u00a0(acronym\u00a0of Master of Business Administration<\/em>) is one of the most esteemed qualifications by professionals with experience in the labor market who are looking for qualifications to assume important positions in the\u00a0business area<\/strong>. Internationally recognized, the program is aimed at those who want to\u00a0develop your management and leadership skills<\/strong>, with classes commonly complemented by activities that involve consulting projects and\u00a0networking<\/em>.<\/p>\n Originally from the United States, the MBA program has gained space in the best universities and institutions in the world and, nowadays, it is seen as a fundamental step for anyone who wants to have a successful career in the business area. However, the course is not equivalent in all countries.<\/p>\n the program of\u00a0MBA in the United States and Europe is a Masters in Business Administration<\/strong>\u00a0and, therefore, graduates acquire the title of master at the end of the course. In Brazil, the MBA has become synonymous with specialization and is not always linked to the roots of business administration, with options that focus on management in the areas of marketing, finance, etc. Therefore, the\u00a0Brazilian MBA is considered a lato sensu postgraduate course<\/strong>, guaranteeing the student a certificate of specialization, and not a diploma, as would be the case with a master's degree.<\/p>\n Many professionals in the business area are in doubt between the MBA and other master's degrees in the area of\u00a0business<\/em>, such as finance and accounting. Before choosing, the student must analyze the most significant differences between the MBA and other master's degrees: the\u00a0teaching method<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0curriculum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The curriculum of traditional MBA programs is dominated by so-called \u201ccase studies\u201d, examples from the business world that students should\u00a0explore and discuss in order to evolve professionally<\/strong>. On the other hand, most masters have a more theoretical framework, offering professionals a precise academic framework for specific areas, conferring research techniques that can be very useful for those who want to build a teaching career.<\/p>\n Master's Degrees and Doctoral Degrees (PhD, EdD etc) are the types of postgraduate courses most sought after by those wishing to continue their higher education. Abroad, master's and doctoral programs have guidelines that may vary by university. To apply to either of the two, you must have a complete higher education, some professional experience and a solid academic curriculum. Having fluent English is also essential and, in this case, an exchange experience abroad can be a great differential.<\/p>\n In general, the\u00a0Master's courses abroad last two to three years<\/strong>. Most are intended to initiate students into scientific research and prepare them for a possible academic career. However, some specific master's programs can bring a more practical and less theoretical curriculum, with real case studies and simulations of everyday situations, as is the case of the MBA.<\/p>\n O\u00a0doctorate degree<\/strong>\u00a0is a more advanced program of study, the duration of which can vary from\u00a0four to eight years to completion<\/strong>. Unlike what happens in Brazil, abroad it is not mandatory to obtain a master's degree to start a doctorate. Even the student who is interested in\u00a0invest in an academic career<\/strong>\u00a0more robust can go straight to the doctorate. In some cases, he even gets the opportunity to earn a master's degree in the process.<\/p>\n Specialization courses abroad serve to\u00a0deepen the knowledge of professionals in specific areas<\/strong>. Unlike masters and doctorates, this\u00a0program does not award diploma<\/strong>\u00a0but a certification \u2013 the so-called\u00a0certificates<\/em>.<\/p>\n These courses also tend to have a shorter duration than master's and doctoral courses, with some exceptions that go as far as extrapolating the two-year duration. It is suitable for professionals who wish to expand their professional knowledge beyond their area of expertise or acquire more practical knowledge,\u00a0networking<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0know-how<\/em>\u00a0to perform certain activities.<\/p>\n Depending on the chosen destination, a university extension course abroad can also be a good path for those who want to apply to the OPT program (Optional Practical Training<\/em>) and have\u00a0permission to work legally for up to one year in the chosen country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The list of documents and exams required to pursue a graduate degree abroad varies depending on the university and the type of program chosen. In general, all programs require\u00a0proof of language proficiency<\/strong>\u00a0(usually TOEFL or IELTS, for English) and\u00a0logical reasoning tests<\/strong>, such as the GMAT and GRE, as well as\u00a0letters of recommendation and professional resume<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The best option is to have the\u00a0consultancy from specialists in universities abroad<\/strong>\u00a0to chart the best path to your goals.
