representative of the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science reported that, in the context of fulfilling the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin to improve the quality of personnel training, the ministry, together with the expert community, is working to improve the higher education system: "In connection with this, from September 1, 2026, amendments will be made to the regulatory legal acts governing the higher education system, including the lists of specialties and areas of training. These lists will be revised in accordance with the current requirements of the labor market."
A representative of canada telegram the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science noted that universities independently develop flexible educational programs: "At the same time, they establish the profile of the program, focusing it on a specific area and field of professional activity. Universities also form the professional competencies of graduates in accordance with professional standards and current needs of the labor market."
The press service representative of the ministry also reported that educational programs in the IT sphere are implemented in such profiles as "Information security technologies in law enforcement", "IT project management", "Development of mobile and web applications", "Electronic business", "Parallel programming", "Automation and digital transformation of business", "Robotic systems and mechatronics in oil and gas production", "Smart technologies and artificial intelligence in agribusiness".
Rector of the St. Petersburg National Research University ITMO (ITMO University) Vladimir Vasiliev believes that the specialties "Applied Mathematics" and "Applied Mathematics and Computer Science" should be in universities for high-quality training of students and future IT personnel.
Head of the Applied Mathematics Department at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI Nikolay Kudryashov told a ComNews correspondent that MEPhI has the following specialties: "Applied Mathematics and Physics", "Applied Mathematics and Computer Science", and "Software Engineering": "Nothing has changed for us. Several years ago, the specialties were consolidated, which does not seem to me to be some kind of delusion or mistake, in particular, the nomenclature of specialties of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) changed. The specialty "Applied Mathematics" did not exist in the HAC before. Whether this is good or bad, I will not judge. For example, I am a theoretical physicist by education, but due to my inclinations, I am more involved in mathematics (according to the database, 65% of my articles are on mathematics and 35% of my articles are on physics). Even our department was once called Applied Mathematical Physics, but I received my diploma in the specialty "Theoretical Nuclear Physics" with a specialization in "Mathematical Modeling".
