Higher Education in Russia
Historically, civilian higher education was divided between a minority of traditional wide curriculum universities and a larger number of narrow specialization institutes (including art schools). Specific-field institutes concentrated primarily in Moscow and Saint Petersburg; medical and teachers' institutes were scattered more evenly across the territory. Medical profession historically developed within universities, but was separated from them in 1918 and remains separate as of 2008. Law education exists within universities and as standalone law institutes; in 1990s many technical institutes and new private schools created their own departments of law; as of 2008, law departments trained around 750 thousands students. Selected narrow-field institutes thrived in remote regions due to their unique geographical placement (maritime and fishing colleges in seaport towns, mining and metallurgy institutes in ore-rich territories, etc.). In 1990s the institutes typically renamed themselves universities, while retaining their historical narrow specialization.
Russian higher education always fitted into a single stage resulting in specialist diploma. It took five to six years to complete. A specialist graduate needed no further academic qualification to pursue in real–world career, with the exception of some (but not all) branches of medical profession that required post-graduate residency stage. Military college education lasted four years and was ranked as equivalent to specialist diploma.
Since 1992 Russian higher education has introduced a multilevel system, enabling higher education institutions to award:
- Bachelor of Science degree (3 - 4 years of study);
- Master of Science degree (2 years of training after Bachelor degree);
- Diploma of Specialist (5-6 years of training).
Diploma of Specialist and Master of Science Degree give graduates the right to enter postgraduate courses and doctoral programmes.
In October 2007 Russia enacted a law that replaces the traditional five-year model of education with a two-tiered approach: a four-year bachelor degree followed by a two-year master’s degree.
The move has been criticized, because instead of reshaping their curriculum, some universities simply inserted a bachelor accreditation in the middle of their standard five or six-year programs. The job market is generally unaware of the change and sometimes Bachelors diplomas are not recognized as "real" university education, rendering the degree unnecessary and undesirable without further specialization.
