on the Day of Postgraduate Students.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Science and Higher
Education Valery Falkov congratulated the youth of the country on the Day of
Postgraduate Students and wished young researchers successful defense and new
scientific achievements for the benefit of the country.
The demand for postgraduate studies is growing. According to the monitoring
of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, by the end of
2023, the number of postgraduate students reached 121.6 thousand people,
increasing by 10.8% compared to 2022 and by 44.3% compared to 2019.
Valery Falkov, head of the Ministry of Education and Science, noted that the
new model of higher education will pay special attention to postgraduate
studies.
“Postgraduate study is the first and most important stage in a scientific
career. In the renewed system of higher education, it will focus on training
researchers and teachers. Its goal is not so much to obtain a diploma of
graduation from postgraduate school as to defend a thesis for a degree. We
realize that our technological sovereignty directly depends on the training of
young scientists. On this day I would like to wish postgraduates inexhaustible
scientific inspiration and new discoveries,” the Minister said.
