EDUCATION IN RUSSIA

Higher Е ducation is under the jurisdiction of The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation which is responsible for the accreditation and licensing of Higher Education Establishments, and for developing and maintaining State Educational Standards.

HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN RUSSIA

Russia’s higher education system started with the foundation of the universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg in the middle of the 18th century. The system was constructed similar to that of Germany. In Soviet times, all of the population in Russia had at least a secondary education. The pursuit of higher education was and still is considered to be very prestigious.
Due in great part to demands of the international educational organizations, the system of education in Russia began to change over the past four to five years. Universities began transitioning to a system similar to that of Britain and the USA: 4 years for the Bachelor’s degree and 2 years for a Master’s degree.

EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS

There are 180,000 educational establishments of all types and categories in the Russian Federation. About 35 million people or 25 % of the total population of the country are annually involved in one or another type of education. More than 6 million people are employed in the sphere of education. Russia has the most educated population in the world. More than half of Russians have higher education qualification. About 300000 applicants from all the countries of the world come to study at Russian universities.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Higher Education in Russia is provided by public and non-public (non-State) accredited higher education institutions. There are two levels of higher education:

§ Basic higher education (4 years) leading to the Bachelor’s degree, the first university level degree. This is an equivalent to the B.Sc. degree in the US or Western Europe

§ Postgraduate higher education (5-6 years or more). After two years, students are entitled to receive a Master’s degree. This is an equivalent to a Master’s Degree (M.Sc, M.A.) in the US or Western Europe. After a Master’s degree, students can continue to study towards a doctoral degree: the Candidate of Sciences (the first level, equivalent to Ph.D.) and the Doctor of Sciences (the second, highest level, equivalent to Professor).

In the Russian Federation there are:

§ More than 700 State Higher Educational Institutions

§ More than 15 million students

§ More than 350,000 foreign students studying at Russian State Universities
