Education and Science Minister Valery Falkov said in an interview: “Kommersan”That the rejection of the Bologna system in Russia will not mean the rejection of undergraduate and graduate programs.
He explained, firstly, that graduates of Russian schools and other citizens “sympathize with these forms of education” and, secondly, that many Russians hold a bachelor’s degree and cannot continue without a master’s degree due to the qualification requirements for positions. .
Third, Falkov noted that the system has become familiar to foreign students who come to study in Russia and then return to their home country to continue their education.
“The future therefore belongs to a unique combination of specialization, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. But there is no need to artificially suppress the possibility of developing a specialty and create advantages for undergraduate and graduate programs, ”said the author.
