Education. Education Master of Foreign Regional Studies
What is “regional studies”Regional studies is a promising specialty that meets the needs of today. It allows you to combine fluency in several foreign languages, which is so necessary today, with a comprehensive study of a particular region, practical knowledge that allows you to analyze the current situation and predict the development of the region.
This approach, unique to this specialty, with a special emphasis on the humanitarian aspect, on the ethno-social world structure, allows graduates to take their place in a world where the need to establish interpersonal and intercultural contacts is becoming increasingly acute. The faculty's curriculum is primarily related to the field of international administration and business, the field of international scientific and cultural cooperation, international relations in the field of education, and the activities of international public organizations.
About the direction “Regional Studies of Russia”
“To prepare specialists on Russia who will be able to tell the world about it in the languages of the world is the most important scientific, social, and patriotic task, which the Regional Studies of Russia program at the faculty has been carrying out since 2001 foreign languages and regional studies of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, the flagship of Russian education.
The development of this program is a logical consequence of the most important principle of teaching foreign languages at our faculty: knowledge of the languages and cultures of other peoples is flawed and incomplete without broad background knowledge of the native world, since partners in international communication are primarily interested in this information, and not at all in the ability to tell them about their lives in their language."

Master's degree
Second level of the system higher education. Master's programs produce professionals with more in-depth specialization who are capable of solving complex tasks.
ISSU implements master's programs of two types:
1. A master's degree is like a second (for some people a third, etc.) higher education. We are talking about the opportunity for specialists working in the system of state and municipal government, economics, science, and business to acquire a new specialty and new knowledge.
Since 2010, “second higher education” programs have been excluded from the Russian education system, but the need for training and acquiring new knowledge and competencies has remained. Under these conditions, second higher education programs were replaced by programs of a higher quality level - Master's degrees.
If we compare the programs of the previous second higher education and master's programs, then the priority of the latter is obvious - practical orientation, specialized training, a significant number of disciplines of the student's choice, defense of a master's thesis.
2. Master's degree as the first higher education - programs for bachelor's graduates of specialized universities who want to deepen their knowledge in the previously chosen field of study, as well as bachelor's graduates of non-core universities who want to continue their education in a new field of study and expand their competencies. IGSU master's programs are aimed at both bachelor's graduates of IGSU and other faculties of RANEPA and Russian universities.
The main objective of the master's program is to prepare professionals for a successful career in the system of state and municipal government, international and Russian companies, as well as analytical, consulting and research activities.
Unlike a second higher education, master's studies culminate in the defense of a master's thesis. A master's thesis is undoubtedly a work of a higher level than traditional thesis. IGSU master's graduates get a real opportunity to develop their master's theses to the level of candidate's theses. ISSU has an extensive network of postgraduate studies and 8 dissertation councils.
The obvious advantage of IGSU master's programs is the traditionally high professional and human level of students. ISSU's master's program is not only a platform for gaining knowledge, but also an opportunity to communicate with successful people in life and establish new human and business contacts.
Main goals educational activities WIS according to the Charter are:
Satisfying the individual's needs for intellectual, cultural and moral development through education;
Satisfying the needs of society and the state for qualified specialists with higher vocational education, in scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel of the highest qualification.
Education at the Institute of Oriental Countries is conducted in Russian.

Additional general education programs - preparation for entering a university, corporate education, courses, etc.
The main concept embedded in the content of educational programs is to ensure a high level of theoretical knowledge, build interdisciplinary connections in the educational process, strengthen the practical component and update the educational process. Educational objectives and plans are processed in a timely manner as new goals and objectives appear, formulated in the state policy of the Russian Federation. The goals and objectives of educational programs are reflected in the long-term development strategy of the institute for 2014-2020.
Already at the stage of creating educational programs, cooperation with the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences was especially fruitful: material (library) and intellectual resources were involved: development of lecture courses, attracting students to participate in joint scientific conferences and congresses, student internships in scientific departments, etc.
An innovative approach to the development of educational and methodological complexes of disciplines was to use educational process materials on the most current international projects that meet the new challenges of our time, and holding scientific conferences in these areas with the participation of both teachers and students. Best works students are published in conference proceedings, collections of articles, journals, and on the websites of the Institute of Oriental Countries and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
