Word " chair", often used in Russian translations to mean "department", has no such meaning, but means a managerial ("head") or professorial position at the university.

Here is the Macmillan dictionary definition: "CHAIR - the position or job of being a professor in a university - He held the Chair of Botany at Cambridge for 30 years" - Which can be translated: "He was the chief botanist at Cambridge for 30 years ").

Another example where it says that "chair" is a title ("title"): "University Research Chairs: The University of Waterloo owes much of its reputation and stature to the quality of its professors and their scholarly accomplishments. University of Waterloo recognizes exceptional achievement and pre-eminence in a particular field of knowledge through the designation "University Research Chair" - a title which may be held for up to seven years, with the possibility of a re-nomination. title will receive either a teaching reduction of one course per year or an annual stipend of $10,000, which will be allocated to the Department/School if teaching reduction is chosen. other major research chair is awarded."

The following example shows that the position of "Department Chair" roughly corresponds to the position of the head of the department: "What a Department Chair Can-and Can" t-Do: The responsibilities and limits of power for heads of college departments vary greatly. Every department at a college has one: a chair who, typically, is a faculty member in that department, assigned by the dean to manage the department."

The duties of the "Department Chair" (head of department) are described on the website of the University of Wisconsin: "Department Chair Role and Responsibilities: The chair is responsible for facilitating the operation of a department, the fundamental academic unit within the university. Description of the chair" s roles and responsibilities must be understood in the overall context of responsibility and accountability. ... The chair facilitates the management of the department. To carry out this responsibility, the chair oversees, directly or indirectly, the daily progress towards achieving teaching, research, and service goals as set out in the department's plan. With the Chair's leadership and facilitation, faculty members provide students the educational opportunity necessary to be prepared for meaningful personal and professional lives. To this end, the chair plays an important role in providing the dean/provost, through the budget and planning process, with class schedules, program plans and estimates of resources needed to carry out department functions."

Thus, all the above examples prove that "chair" in the context of higher education refers to the position or title of a person and cannot be translated into Russian as a "department".

The plural form is preferred.

Professional portrait of Ph.D.

Candidates of Sciences are highly qualified specialists with professional experience accumulated for at least three to four years after graduation from the university (master's or specialist's degree). Most often, they are people at the age of just under thirty, prone to research work and necessarily having published scientific works. Most of these specialists are employees of various (academic, industrial) universities or lecturers.

Usually the applicant for a scientific degree is aimed at a further scientific and pedagogical career. Obtaining a Ph.D. degree (or its foreign equivalents) greatly contributes to career growth both in the Russian Federation and abroad. In Russia, the possession of this degree makes it easier to take the position of an associate professor at a university or a senior researcher in a research institute, and is also taken into account outside the scientific and educational sphere. Having a degree is absolutely necessary for obtaining the academic title of assistant professor. A holder of the degree of a candidate of science in Russia, who continues active research activities, may become a doctor of science and a professor in the future.

Scientists with PhD equivalent status form the backbone of many scientific organizations and universities around the world. According to the 2010 census, there were 595,526 people in Russia who had a Ph.D. The largest number of them lived in Moscow (197897 people).

The history of the degree "candidate" in Russia

Immediately after October revolution In 1917, all degrees, ranks and titles were abolished. The degree of candidate of sciences - already in the modern sense - was established along with other academic degrees and titles of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on January 13, 1934 and inherited by the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet period.

The procedure for awarding the degree of candidate of sciences in the Russian Federation

Basic moments

The most important requirement of pre-defense training is the availability of scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals from the list of HAC, containing the results of the dissertation's research and reflecting the scientific novelty of the research.

A dissertation research is carried out by an applicant under the guidance of a supervisor who has a doctorate or a candidate of science degree in a given specialty, usually (but not necessarily) while studying in graduate school (adjuncture).

The typical length of a PhD dissertation is about 150 pages, but there are no hard boundaries.

The procedure for defending a dissertation

Before defending, the degree applicant must pass a series of exams (the so-called candidate minimum): in the history and philosophy of science, foreign language and specialties.

The applicant publishes a dissertation abstract (circulation of about 100 copies), which a month before the defense is sent to major scientific libraries and universities in Russia, as well as members of the dissertation council and specialists in this field of science. In addition, the texts of the dissertation and abstract are posted on the website of the organization under which the dissertation Council who accepted the dissertation for defense.

The dissertation itself - also for a month - is transferred for free access to the library of the institution where the defense will take place, and to two official opponents who write in advance, and on the day of the defense they announce their review. Opponents cannot be related by co-authorship or place of work with the applicant; one of them must be a doctor of sciences.

During the defense, the dissertator makes a presentation on the results of the dissertation work, answers questions from members of the dissertation council on his report, dissertation and abstract. Further, the reviews of the leading organization are read out, as well as the reviews received for the abstract. The applicant responds to the comments contained in these reviews. This is followed by the speeches of the official opponents and answers to questions from the reviews of the opponents. The final part of the defense is a free discussion, during which anyone present has the right to speak. Then the applicant answers the questions and comments made during this discussion, after which they proceed to a secret ballot, in which only members of the dissertation council take part.

Approximately the same procedure for awarding the degree existed in the USSR and continues to exist in some CIS countries.

Issuance of a degree document

In the event of a positive vote, the documents (the so-called "attestation case") are sent to the Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, where a decision is made to issue a candidate of science diploma. It usually takes several months for a case to be reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission.

Persons who have been awarded academic degrees in violation of the established procedure may be deprived of these degrees by the Higher Attestation Commission, as a rule, on the basis of petitions from the dissertation councils at the meeting of which the dissertation defense took place.

Varieties of Ph.D. degree by field of science

Depending on the specialty in which the Ph.D. thesis is defended, the applicant in Russia is awarded one of the following academic degrees:

There is, but is not currently awarded the degree of candidate of naval sciences (awarded from the 1930s to the late 1970s). For some time (in the 1940s), the degree of candidate of art history was called "candidate of art history". The degree of candidate of political sciences existed in the 1940s, then was abolished, in the 1990s. reintroduced.

In the pedagogical sciences until 1950, a description of a narrow specialization was necessarily added to the name of a scientific degree (“... according to the methodology of history”, “... according to physical culture" and so on.). Sporadic in title scientific specialty such refinements were present until the late 1960s. Degree in psychological sciences started to be awarded since 1968. Prior to that (since 1953), the academic degree "candidate of pedagogical sciences (in psychology)" was awarded.

On September 25, 2015, the Higher Attestation Commission approved the passport of the new scientific specialty "Theology". Now, in this specialty, you can defend dissertations and receive academic degrees of candidate and doctor of science.

Many specialties allow applicants to be awarded a degree in several branches of science, depending on the predominant subject area of ​​a particular dissertation. For example, in the specialty 02.00.04 (Physical Chemistry), Candidate's degrees in physical and mathematical, technical or chemical sciences can be awarded. At the same time, however, the principle "one dissertation - one branch of science" is observed, regardless of the number of specialties of the dissertation and branches of science of the specialty. Also, a particular dissertation council may be limited in the range of degrees awarded, depending on the industry.

The list of degrees awarded to Ukrainian scientists is basically the same as the Russian one, with the following exceptions:

  • Geological and mineralogical sciences in the titles of degrees are replaced by geological sciences;
  • The degrees of Candidate of Sciences in Physical Education and Sports, Candidate of Sciences in public administration, Candidate of Science in Social Communications. The branch of sciences "National Security" is also distinguished, however, it awards the degrees of candidates of military, technical, legal and other sciences - the degree of candidate of sciences in national security No.

International aspects

Analogues of the degree of candidate of sciences abroad

The most common analogue of the Soviet and Russian degree of candidate of sciences is the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Such a degree exists in the USA, Canada and other states.

In Germany, an analogue of the Russian PhD degree stands the degree of doctor (German Doktor), despite its name.

In many European countries, a degree was previously awarded, the name of which in the local language contained the concept of "candidate", abolished during the Bologna process. At the same time, the abolition does not mean the elimination of the corresponding level, but the replacement of the name with Ph.D. This happened in a number of CMEA countries - Bulgaria (Bulgarian). PhD in Science, abolished in the mid-1990s), Czechoslovakia (Czech Kandidát věd, Slovak Kandidát vied, abolished in the Czech Republic in 1998, in Slovakia in 1996). In 2014, with the adoption of the new Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education", the PhD degree was also abolished there and equated to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A similar degree, preceding the degree of doctor of sciences and called in Latin lat. candidatus/candidata with the addition of the name of the science also existed in Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. In Yugoslavia, the degree of candidate of science corresponded to the degree of master of science (Magister Scientiæ, mr. sci, now abolished), as it was in Russian Empire in the 19th century.

Germany

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, whose competence includes academic qualifications, recognizes the German academic qualification "Habilitation" at the level of the Russian academic degree "Doctor of Science", and the German academic degree "Doktor" at the level of the Russian academic degree "PhD". In the Federal Republic of Germany, recognition falls within the competence of the ministries of the states when it comes to issuing permission for the use of academic degrees in society, and within the competence of the higher educational institutions when it comes to the academic field, including research activities. These bodies recognize the Russian academic degree "Doctor of Science" at the level of the German academic qualification "Habilitation", and the Russian academic degree "PhD" at the level of the German academic degree "Doctor".

The employees of this university regularly provide legal advice and legal support for international and international public institutions. He actively participates in the development of federal-level bills. Many graduates of this university are prominent modern statesmen. More than 100 associate professors and candidates of sciences, as well as more than 60 doctors of jurisprudence teach at the faculty. The law faculty of Moscow State University has 16 departments. There are three laboratories on the basis of the faculty:

  1. Legal Cybernetics and Informatics;
  2. political science;
  3. Comparative law and socio-legal research.

About 60 specialists and bachelors annually complete postgraduate studies at the Institute "Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies" at Moscow State Law Academy. Stable, at least 80% of them successfully defend their Ph.D.

The Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg State University trains candidates of sciences in 13 different specialties related to the legal sphere. The structure of the faculty is 10 departments, the so-called legal clinic, an extensive library and a legal center of expertise. The faculty appeared in 1724 and the idea of ​​its creation belongs to Peter the Great.
