NEW EDUCATIONAL STANDARD
The main route leading to the Ph. D. degree is the postgraduate study which is aimed at imparting in-depth theoretical, special and social education and of training scientific and teaching staff through the mastery of means and methods of scientific study so that they may be able to carry out independent research and educational work with great skill. The general prerequisites for admission to postgraduate study are completion of a full course of study at a university level higher education institution and award of the Specialist Diploma or of the Master degree, proof of creative thinking in practical work or study, and an age limit of up to 35 years for full-time and up to 45 years for part-time doctoral students.
Today the new edition of the federal state educational standard of high professional education in planning (the third generation of educational standards) is still at the stage of development and implementation in the educational process. The third generation of the Federal State Educational Standard for Higher Professional Education raises the questions of the didactical component of learning disciplines, in particular, document studies, in the related state educational standards, as well as calls for cooperation and integration of the universities methodological departments.
These activities are founded institutionally through the operation of the federal agencies of the Ministry of Culture and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation. These agencies formulate competence requirements to professional activities of graduates (namely, document managers, librarians, publishers, booksellers, archivists). The work on this document has raised the question about systematization of the competences, which should be possessed by the graduates of high education.
