Oliy ta'lim ikki asosiy turga bo'linadi:

Higher education is of two main types:

Birinchidan — O'qitish orqali o'rganish (o'qitish tadqiqotdan ustun bo'lgan holda): Bu fakultetlar va universitetlar tomonidan kurslar (manohij), ma'ruzalar va ta'lim jadvallari orqali tashkil etilgan/rasmiy ravishda taklif qilinadigan ta'lim hisoblanadi.

Firstly—Study by Teaching (where teaching is greater than research): This is organised/formal teaching offered by faculties and universities via courses (manaahij), lectures and educational time tables.

Talaba "Birinchi daraja" guvohnomasini oladi, bugungi kunda u texnik yoki kasbiy ta'lim bo'lgan taqdirda diplom deb ataladi; yoki universitet fakultetlaridan birida ma'lum bir fan bo'yicha ikkinchi akademik guvohnoma (ijoza) oladi, bugungi kunda u "litsenziat" yoki "bakalavr" deb ataladi.

The student attains the “First Degree” certificate known today as a diploma if this education was technical or vocational; or a second academic certificate (ijaaza) known today as a “licence” or “baccalaureate” in a specific subject in one of the university faculties.
