Abstract:
The reform of higher education in Russia revealed a number of problems associated with the inclusion of Russia in the Bologna process. Since 2011, the Russian tertiary education has moved to a two-tier system of education: bachelor and master. Such structural changes have affected the entire content of higher education. Along with the revision of study loads, qualification requirements, etc. joining the Bologna process has expanded academic mobility opportunities for students and university educators. Experts and researchers differently evaluate the situation. A problem of the quality of modern higher education is the most urgent and causes many contradictions in the society. The authors discuss issues, opportunities, and prospects for the further integration of Russian universities in the European system of tertiary education. They consider the current situation in a Russian system of higher education using their own experience. The authors analyze the results of Russia's integration into the global educational process, compare the obtained results with the international experience, offer their own solutions to problems, and possible ways for the development of the Bologna process in Russia.
