Programs:

• Magistr The **Magistr** (often abbreviated as *Mgr.* or *Mag.*) is a postgraduate academic qualification awarded in many European countries that is globally recognized as the equivalent of a Master’s degree. Typically requiring one to two years of advanced, specialized study following a Bachelor's degree, it culminate in the submission and defense of a research-based thesis. Since this qualification aligns with the Bologna Process, holding a Magistr degree provides students with international academic recognition and direct access to doctoral (Ph.D.) programs or high-level professional careers.
• Bakalavr The **Bakalavr** (equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree) is an undergraduate academic qualification awarded in Russia and other post-Soviet countries upon the successful completion of a four-year university program. Representing the first cycle of the Bologna-aligned higher education system, this degree provides students with fundamental academic knowledge and practical skills in their chosen field of study. Holding a Bakalavr qualification fully prepares graduates to enter the professional workforce or pursue further postgraduate studies, such as a Master’s degree (*Magistr*).
