HIGHER EDUCATION IN RUSSIA

Every citizen of our country has the right to education.

Higher education plays an important part in the life of any country as it provides the country with highly-qualified specialists for future development and progress. It trains people to become teachers, engineers, doctors and other professional workers.

The information explosion has affected every field of study, especially, of course, in the natural and applied sciences and in all other sciences as well. The increase of information requires new methods and new approaches to students’ training and instruction.

The system of higher education in Russia is going through a transitional period. The main objectives of the reform are coordination of the national system of higher education with the European one and training highly-qualified specialists able to work at the level up to the world standard.

Higher education in Russia is provided by a great number of universities, institutes and academies. There are three departments at the universities and institutes of Russia: full-time, part-time and extramural departments. Part-time and extramural students have an opportunity to study without leaving their jobs. All applicants must take competitive exams if they want to enter a higher educational establishment.

Training specialists at our higher educational institutions combines theoretical studies with practical work and industrial training. Students have lectures and practical classes. They attend lectures on different subjects and take notes. During practical lessons they study the material of the lectures.

The academic year usually lasts 9 months and is divided into two terms. The first- and second-year students obtain detailed instructions in the fundamental sciences of mathematics, physics, chemistry and drawing as well as computer engineering and a number of others. The curricula are enriched and broadened by instructions in such subjects as foreign languages, history and economics.

In the third year students get more advanced knowledge and begin to concentrate on their special interests, so to say, their major subject and take many courses in this subject. Specialized study and courses will help students to become specialists and prepare them for their future work.

After four years students will get a Bachelor’s degree. Then the students may go on with their studies and in a year or two of further study and research get a Master’s degree.

Education is a process through which culture is preserved, knowledge and skills are developed, values are formed, and information is exchanged.
