According to the 2012 "Law on Education" there are such qualifications of higher engineering education in Russia as Bachelor's, Master s, and Specialist's diploma. Undergraduate programmes typically take four years of full-time study. Part- time and e-learning (or correspondence) are available for those who work but take more time to complete. The curriculum for engineering students in Russia is highly structured and challenging . Alongside core subjects such as maths and physics, students also study humanities such as history, philosophy,and foreign languages. This is because a well -rounded education is necessary to produce highly skilled engineers who are able to think critically and creatively Undergraduate engineering programmes are practice-oriented with an emphasis on fundamental engineering disciplines. Graduates of Bachelor's programmes can work as engineers,project managers or technical consultants in various industries. After obtaining a bachelor's degree, graduates can continue their education by pursuing a master's degree. Master's programmes usually last two years and provide the opportunity to specialise in engineering in depth. However some engineering professions may only require a specialist degree. A Specialist degree programme is a traditional form of Russian higher education lasting for five years. It provides comprehensive and specialised training in engineering disciplines. Each stage of engineering education ends with a degree paper (a graduation thesis) and a final state examination. For those who are interested in advanced engineering research, postgraduate studies are available, including Candidate of Science and Doctor of Science degrees. These degrees are awarded after the defence of a thesis in the form of a public presentation and scientific debates demonstrating original research results that significantly advance the engineering science. Engineering education in Russia has always been characterized by competitive admissions and rigorous academic standards. Graduates have the opportunity to assist the development of various industries as engineers, researchers, and innovators, and to pursue higher education to make significant contributions to the advancement of engineering science.
