It was specially created for those people who did not pass the competitive selection for the free places available in the full-time department. The full-time/correspondence form has the following advantages:

1. Some believe that distance learning is ineffective, because students study the material on their own and cannot often communicate with the teacher. On a full-time basis, everything is completely different. Students have more opportunities to communicate with the teacher. The quality of the part-time and part-time form is practically no different from the full-time form.
2. On a part-time basis, you can obtain higher education at an affordable price. It is worth providing clarifying information here.
