Which university to choose for distance/correspondence education?

Question

IT education

Friends, I looked at the previous questions, but almost never reached the choice of universities.
The situation is as follows: 27, there is an unfinished higher (3/5) building. Now in the office in the oil industry at a good salary, but I'm tired of it, emotionally burnt out.
I am interested in IT (the call of blood, my mother was a programmer), I lost Delphi and Pascal at school, now I sit by myself, in my free time I study Java, books, Internet resources, etc. That is, there are no problems with self-study.
Thinking about evening/distance education.
Tell me, which universities have relevant undergraduate study programs?
Yes, I heard the opinion that the employer is not interested in your diploma, they are interested in your skills. Here I decided a few things:
1) All the same, you still need to get a higher education, albeit formally
2) A more or less normal university will give at least some structured knowledge and a program, even if it is a little backward, but it will lay the foundation.

Answer 1

Pulls in IT (call of blood

- this is some kind of poetry, or spontaneous construction of a sentence ...
you first need to gain enlightenment of the brain - and become a programmer from scratch
, two things are based on:
1) a machine, as an assistant to a person
2) tasks that need to be solved - from construction to medicine and decide on music
- what do you want to create and what tasks to solve?
for example: game making, gardening or robotics and AI,
and accordingly stupidly immediately start making an interesting project,
for example, the first thing I did was the simplest kms on files
and there you will immediately understand what you need - zhs, si, go ...
to learn - you must do it yourself
program it
in order to become a programmer - there are a lot of books, it is not necessary to have a piece of paper with a seal - but you definitely need to work the code on your own for several years
normal restructuring of the brain takes 3-5 years of practice in training program thinking - when you become a programmer you will express your thoughts more accurately

Answer 2

Do you want to compile the entire list of universities in the Russian Federation or make a selection according to some criteria?

Answer 3

Don't waste your time. Only practice and experience matters.
Where a real CS is needed, a formal diploma "to be" does not make sense.
There are quite a few such vacancies out of the total number.
Well, from the field of distraction, if java is not an android, then it is extremely difficult there without mentoring on self-study. It might be worth considering other languages.
