Russian higher education institutions (HEIs) commonly offer the following degrees: bachelor's degree, master's degree, diploma (specialist) degree, postdoctoral degree.
A student receives a Bachelor's degree after 4 (full-time) or 5 (part-time) years of study at the university (minimum level to be recognized as having Higher Education).
To gain a Master's degree, one has to complete a 2-year (full-time) or 2.5-year (part-time) postgraduate course.
A student receives a Degree (specialist) diploma after 5 (full-time) or 6 (part-time) years of study at the university. The Russian university curriculum is more fundamental and generally broader than in Western universities. After successfully presenting a graduation paper (usually 70–100 pages) to the Qualification Committee of the Department, the Russian Diploma (specialist) degree roughly corresponds to a Western Master's Degree.
The academic degree in Russia is called "Kandidat nauk" (that could be translated verbatim as a "Candidate of Sciences"). This academic degree may be matched by a Western PhD degree. It is granted after 3 years of study and research in a postgraduate school. The qualification requirements are higher than in most Western universities, with mandatory publications in peer-reviewed journals (usually 3 publications suffice), 3 exams (one in their speciality, one in a foreign language and one in the history and philosophy of science), and public defence of the theses with open scientific discussion and approval at the Federal government level.
