The degree works as a certificate of skills.
The degree is the achievement of a degree . The notion of title, meanwhile, refers to a certification, recognition or appointment.
Typically, the term refers to obtaining a diploma or academic certificate . Thus, upon completing a degree, a course, a career, etc., the corresponding qualification is achieved.
It should be noted, however, that the concept also has other uses. The set of documents that prove ownership of a land or property and the assessment of a chemical solution is called titling.
How to achieve the degree
There are different ways to achieve an academic qualification, which vary according to the degree and the country. The most common thing is that the student must meet certain requirements and demonstrate their knowledge .
In primary education and secondary education, for example, generally the student must attend classes regularly (that is, without exceeding a certain limit of absences) and achieve a certain average in the evaluations of the different subjects or subjects. In this way you demonstrate your understanding of the contents of the curriculum and can advance year by year until you achieve academic certification when you complete the training.
In the case of higher education, there are systems that contemplate the existence of credits that students must earn with their activities and performance. At the university level, likewise, the presentation and defense of a thesis or dissertation is a frequent requirement for the degree.
Online learning can allow access to a degree.
Some considerations
It is important to indicate that the idea of a degree is usually used with respect to university education , whether undergraduate or postgraduate. When it comes to compulsory education (initial, primary and secondary), the term is generally not used, although students - as we already indicated - have to achieve certain goals to graduate.
It must be taken into account, on the other hand, that the qualification is an official endorsement granted by the competent educational authorities. However, there are also unofficial recognitions that function as accreditation of having participated in a workshop, a seminar (or webinar), a symposium or a conference. This is even common when taking a massive online course (MOOC). These diplomas, which demonstrate a commitment to training and continuing education, help enrich the curriculum vitae as they reinforce professional training.
Another aspect to consider is that the importance of the degree varies according to the sector. In medicine , for example, it is essential: in fact, it is illegal to practice this profession without the qualifying title. In the trades, on the other hand, the demonstration of knowledge and skills in practice is privileged and not so much the diploma. That happens in journalism , to mention one case.
In some cases, qualification is achieved by achieving a certain grade on the final exam.
Types of qualifications
As we already pointed out, different types of degrees can be listed. An official title is recognized by the State and grants the necessary qualification to practice a profession. If the qualification is unofficial, it is only a recognition of studies provided by the entity that offers the training, so its validity can be questioned.
The university degree is one that is achieved by completing a degree at a university. Depending on the country and the institution, this training can last between 3 and 6 years. Bachelor's degrees, for example, grant a bachelor's degree.
Those who have already achieved an undergraduate degree have the possibility of continuing their professional development and seeking a graduate or postgraduate qualification . Doctorates and master's degrees (master's degrees) are degrees of this kind.
On the other hand, in some countries there is also a tertiary qualification . The tertiary level is a degree higher than secondary school but lower than university. Techniques, in this framework, are often tertiary.
The notion in chemistry
In the field of chemistry, titration is the act and result of titrating : titrating a solution or solution. The action of titrating, meanwhile, refers to establishing the exact composition of the mixture.
To carry out the titration, a quantitative analysis is carried out using a reagent whose concentration is known (called titrant ) to calculate the concentration of the analyte (the substance of analytical interest). Since the analyte and titrant react stoichiometrically, the concentration of the analyte can be calculated by examining the sample size and the concentration and amount of titrant.
There are different types of titrations, such as redox titration (based on a reduction and oxidation reaction between the analyte and the titrant), acid-base titration (a base is titrated in an acid or vice versa), precipitation titration (titrant and analyte generate an insoluble salt) and complexometric titration (when a chelating agent is used as a titrant).
It is interesting to note that currently there is automated or automatic titling. The process is no longer carried out manually, but rather a device called an automatic titrator is used. This increases efficiency and precision and eliminates the possibility of human error.
