Educational institutions have already begun to enroll their students en masse with orders to enroll their students after the completion of all exams and stages of the admission campaign.
Because many applicants from the category of men subject to military service began to be interested in obtaining a deferment from full-time study at an educational institution.
And here the main question arose for those who started studying for a degree higher than their previous education, for example, a master’s degree based on a bachelor’s degree: does the previous education, which one studied for before, matter for the start of work from September 1?
So, in this article below, based on the explanation of a military lawyer, we will provide an unambiguous answer specific to the 2026-2027 academic year.
Will there be a deferment if I continue my studies in another specialty?
Yes, a deferment is granted to all men without exception who are subject to military service (regardless of their age) who have continued their studies in a specialty other than the one they previously obtained, provided that the sequence of education is not disrupted.
In simple words: if you previously obtained a master’s degree in “physical education and sports”, and then enrolled in a master’s degree in “psychology”, you will have the right to a deferral, which you can obtain online in the Reserve+ application after the enrollment order is issued.
If you have previously enrolled in a master’s degree program, but for some reason did not complete your studies and are enrolling again in any or the same specialty in the new academic year 2026-2027, you can only obtain a deferral through a court of law by proving that you do not have the appropriate level.
