Post-Graduate Training

The main way in which research workers and higher school teachers get their scientific training is the post-graduate course. Young people who graduate from schools of higher learning and want to do a post-graduate course take examinations in Philosophy, a special subject, a foreign language, and a computer science. For 3 years a post-graduate student preparing for his candidate’s degree takes an advanced course on the master’s fundamentals and passes exams in them., studies under the guidance of prominent scientists and researchers.

He has to carry out a definite programme of research, obtain new scientific findings, and present his conclusions before a scientific council of the respective higher school or research institution.

In our country we also have an extra-mural course of post-graduate training for people who want to do scientific research but do not want to leave work.

All post-graduate study is free of charge. Those who take a full-time post-graduate course get state allowances.

To receive the degree of Doctor of Science, one has to carry out an absolutely independent major programme of research which, besides yielding new findings should be devoted to an important problem and present some significant scientific conclusions. Following its publication the dissertation is defended publicly by the author before a scientific council entitled to consider doctoral dissertations.

The so-called “beamed” post-graduate course was introduced to train candidates of science, it differs from the regular system in method of student selection. Under this variant, higher schools, scientific research institutions and enterprises are entitled to send their stuff members to post-graduate course and after finishing it, the new candidates are obliged to return to their former place of work.

In general the system of selecting candidates for post-graduate studies and future research work is being improved. More certified inventors and authors of scientific papers are now admitted.

The State provides young people with everything necessary to prepare for a scientific career and enable them to make important contributions to the development of science.
