Higher Certification Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation

Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia)- the central body in the field of awarding academic degrees and titles in the Russian Federation and ensuring a unified state policy in the field of state certification of scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel. A similar highest certification body existed in the Soviet Union (the Higher Attestation Commission of the USSR) and now exists in a number of post-Soviet countries.

Within its competence, it controls the work of dissertation defense councils, develops a regulatory framework in the field of awarding academic degrees and titles, issues candidate and doctorate diplomas, certificates of associate professor and professor, and also carries out a number of other functions, for example, determines the list of scientific journals and publications for publication main scientific results of candidate and doctoral dissertations. In addition to performing specified functions in the scientific and educational sphere of Russia, forms dissertation councils also for the Republic of Tajikistan.

Due to the cessation of the existence of the Ministry of Education and Science on May 15, 2018, with its division into two ministries, the current departmental subordination of the Higher Attestation Commission and the full name of this body will be clarified.

The Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation was created in 1992, after the collapse of the USSR. From 1992 to 1996 it was called the Higher Attestation Committee of the Russian Federation, from 1996 to 1998 - the State Higher Attestation Committee. In 1998, it was renamed the Higher Attestation Commission and subordinated to the Ministry of Education. After the transformation of the Ministry of Education into the Ministry of Education and Science (Ministry of Education and Science) it was subordinated to the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor).

Since 2011, the Higher Attestation Commission is subordinated directly to the Ministry of Education and Science and bears the full name “Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.” The award of an academic degree or assignment of an academic title is formalized by the relevant order of the Minister of Education and Science.

The Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation is formed from among doctors of science, leading experts in the field of science, technology, education and culture. The commission consists of a chairman, deputy chairmen, chief scientific secretary and members. The personnel of the Higher Attestation Commission is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. Within the framework of the Higher Attestation Commission there are expert councils in scientific disciplines.

Chairmen of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation in various periods:

Meetings of the Supreme Attestation Commission are held at least twice a year. To quickly resolve current issues that arise between meetings of the Commission, a presidium of the Commission is formed from among its members, whose meetings are usually held weekly.

Currently in the Russian Federation there are degrees of Candidate of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences, the titles of associate professor and professor.

In accordance with the Regulations on the procedure for awarding academic degrees, a Candidate of Sciences diploma is issued by the Higher Attestation Commission on the basis of a decision of the dissertation council of the institution in which the defense took place, and a Doctor of Sciences diploma is issued on the basis of a decision of the dissertation council and a positive conclusion of the expert council of the Higher Attestation Commission in the relevant field. Since 2016 some Russian universities and scientific organizations are vested with the right to award degrees independently of the Higher Attestation Commission.

In 2002-2013 The Higher Attestation Commission awarded the titles of professor in a specialty and associate professor in a specialty (the latter is an analogue of the title of senior researcher that existed before 2002). In 2011-2013 She also awarded the academic titles of professor and associate professor in the department, previously awarded by Rosobrnadzor. Since 2014, the titles are simply called “associate professor” and “professor”, and are awarded directly by the Ministry of Education and Science and only in scientific specialties (the old titles “by department” are equivalent to them). Currently, the Higher Attestation Commission does not participate in making decisions regarding titles, although it publishes notices of their assignment.

According to the “Regulations on the Higher Certification Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation”, the commission performs the following functions:

• issuing permits for the creation of dissertation councils, including the determination of scientific specialties in which a particular council has the right to award academic degrees;
• changes in the composition of dissertation councils;
• termination and resumption of work of dissertation councils;
• the possibility of awarding an applicant the academic degree of Doctor of Science for a dissertation initially declared as a candidate’s dissertation (in special cases, when filing a petition);
• sending the certification case for additional conclusion to another council;
• issuing diplomas of doctor and candidate of sciences;
• cancellation of the dissertation council's decision to award an academic degree;
• recognition of academic degrees and academic titles received abroad;
• appeals filed against decisions of councils on awarding academic degrees;
• applications for deprivation (restoration) of academic degrees;
• list of candidate exams for specific specialties;
• requirements for peer-reviewed scientific publications in which the results included in the dissertation should be published, and the formation of a list of such publications;

b) conducts analysis of defended dissertations;

c) conducts an examination on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and, based on its results, submits recommendations to the Ministry regarding:

• draft legal acts, including draft international treaties of the Russian Federation;
• nomenclature of scientific specialties for which academic degrees are awarded;
• establishing the correspondence of specialties to the areas of training in graduate school (postgraduate studies);
• statements, complaints and proposals received by the Ministry of Education and Science;

The Higher Attestation Commission attracts qualified specialists in the prescribed manner to examine certification cases, appeals filed against decisions of dissertation councils, and applications for deprivation (restoration) of academic degrees. The commission also makes proposals to the Ministry of Education and Science on carrying out activities related to state scientific certification.

In its activities, the Commission is guided by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws, decrees and orders of the President of the Russian Federation, decrees and orders of the Government of the Russian Federation, as well as orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

Regulatory documents regulating the work of the Higher Attestation Commission of Russia are presented on the website. Some of them:

If a candidate’s dissertation submitted for defense to the dissertation council, which has the right to consider doctoral dissertations, according to the reviews of two official opponents meets the requirements for a doctoral dissertation, then after the defense of the candidate’s thesis at the same meeting, the council makes two decisions by separate secret ballot - awarding the applicant the scientific degree of Candidate of Sciences and filing a petition with the Higher Attestation Commission for permission to submit the same dissertation for defense for the scientific degree of Doctor of Sciences.

In case of a positive decision of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission, the defense of the dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Science is carried out in the usual manner, without re-distributing the abstract, but with an announcement of the defense in the Bulletin of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.

35. Dissertations, based on the results of the defense of which positive decisions have been made, together with one copy of the abstract are transferred in the prescribed manner for permanent storage to the Russian State Library, except for dissertations on medical and pharmaceutical sciences, which are transferred to the State Central Scientific Medical Library.

A mandatory free copy of the dissertation is also transferred in accordance with the established procedure to the All-Russian Scientific and Technical Information Center of the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology of the Russian Federation.

Much more time is spent on complying with the necessary formalities. In addition to the text and abstract of the dissertation, the applicant needs to provide information about the number of scientific publications, a diploma of higher education, and so on. Documents are checked twice: by dissertation councils and by the Higher Attestation Commission. The issuance of PhD diplomas can occur a year or even a longer period of time after defense. The period within which the Higher Attestation Commission makes a decision on issuing certificates depends on a number of reasons.

After a graduate student has defended his work in the dissertation council, he actually becomes a candidate of science. But to document an academic degree, you need a diploma or certificate. Dissertation councils are not authorized to issue certificates; this is the task of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

The process of collecting all the necessary documents is often accompanied by even greater difficulties than the actual work on the dissertation and its defense. The package of documents that the Higher Attestation Commission requires from the applicant consists of a huge number of certificates, accompanying sheets, recommendations and photocopies. It is difficult for a person who is far from bureaucracy to understand all the subtleties and nuances. Therefore, it often takes several months to create a personal file.

The team of professors and associate professors of the Higher Attestation Commission is located in the capital of the Russian Federation. After everything is ready, the papers are filed in personalized folders, and the secretary of the dissertation council takes the documents to the central office of the Higher Attestation Commission in Moscow. Employees carefully check whether everything is properly completed and meets ministry standards. After the technical check, the secretaries assemble a group of experts who evaluate more specific points. In some cases, they may even send the personal file back to the institution where the dissertation council is located so that the applicant can redo some certificates.

If all documents are in order, employees of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia register the diploma of a candidate or doctor of sciences. From this point on, the graduate student officially receives an academic degree. But only after a few months he can receive the diploma directly into his hands.

On March 4, 2014, new rules regulating the work of the Higher Attestation Commission came into force. The order on the issuance of diplomas of candidates of science, which was adopted by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, approved a new procedure and deadlines. In accordance with this document, after checking the personal file by employees of the Higher Attestation Commission, the applicant's diploma is registered with the Ministry of Education and Science. The applicant must be informed about this within 10 days. To avoid difficulties in conveying information, information is published on the official website of the Higher Attestation Commission. The order is signed by the Deputy Minister, the date is indicated, and the document is assigned a special number.

After this, employees of the Ministry of Education and Science prepare the document in printed form. The diploma is filled out in black type or in ink, certified with a seal, signed by the Minister of Education and Science, after which the documents are again sent for storage to the Higher Attestation Commission. You can find out about the readiness of your diploma via the Internet. Additionally, the secretaries of the dissertation council are informed by telephone, fax or e-mail.

How to find orders for issuing PhD diplomas on the website of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation

The official website of the Higher Attestation Commission of Russia is located at http://vak.ed.gov.ru. Another option to access the resource is to simply enter search bar browser request “VAK.ru”. The desired page will appear on one of the first links. Next, open the “Diplomas, certificates and certificates” section. On this page you can find all the information related to the diploma of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation: orders on issuing certificates, refusing applicants, depriving an academic degree or restoring a lost document. The “readiness” subsection is also located here.

When the Higher Attestation Commission issues an order to issue a Candidate of Sciences diploma, each document is assigned a specific number. For example, 543/nc or 581/nc. The discipline is indicated in brackets, for example, “ped.” (pedagogy) or “med.” (medicine). This information will tell the applicant in which order to look for his last name. If several graduate students have completed their defense in the same discipline within a few months, one general order is issued for them.

When the certificate or diploma is printed and signed, the “readiness” section is updated. The Higher Attestation Commission issues it in the form of a sign. The left column indicates the category of the document (for example, candidate of sciences diploma, associate professor certificate, duplicates, replacements), and the right column indicates the order number. Thus, the scientist can independently check the information about the readiness of documents and not bother him again phone calls employees *VAK. News about orders and readiness are duplicated on the main page of the site and on the information resource of the Ministry of Education and Science.

Who can pick up a diploma from the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation

Documents are stored in Moscow at st. Lyusinovskaya, house 51 for 3 years. If during this time the scientist still has not collected the diploma, the paper is returned to the Ministry of Education and Science and cancelled. Office hours, office number and Contact phone numbers published on the website in the “readiness” section. This information changes frequently, so it is better to check it immediately before you go to get the documents.

The rules for issuing certificates differ depending on the academic degree and rank of the applicant. The degree is awarded after defending a candidate or doctoral thesis by members of the dissertation council. The title of associate professor or professor can be obtained on the recommendation of the academic council of a higher educational institution.

1. Candidates of Science cannot pick up their diploma in person. The head of the dissertation council selects a delegate who goes to the Higher Attestation Commission to receive diplomas. The organization on the basis of which the council operates issues an official order. Diplomas and certificates are issued solely on the basis of this document. Thus, neither the candidate himself nor his authorized representatives can pick up the paper version of the diploma; this can only be done by an authorized representative of the council.
2. Associate professors and professors also cannot obtain certificates by personally contacting the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation. The order for a proxy from the academic council is issued by the university where the scientist teaches, after which the secretary or another delegate collects the documents in Moscow.

The chairman of the academic or dissertation council is authorized to collect the necessary papers without issuing an additional order. All he needs to do is present his official ID. When the documents arrive at the applicant’s place of residence, he collects the certificates from the secretary of the dissertation or academic council.

1. Doctors of science have the right to independently obtain a certificate. You need to take your ID with you and present documents confirming your academic degree. To do this, the scientist must print out an order for its issuance from the Higher Attestation Commission website. In 2016, a doctor of science can issue a power of attorney, and then this person will be able to pick up documents in the building of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation instead of him.

Orders of the Higher Attestation Commission of Russia on the replacement and restoration of documents

If the diploma has been lost, the scientist can contact the Higher Attestation Commission of Russia with a request to restore it. An order will be published on the website stating that the lost document is invalidated. The new certificate is marked with the inscription “duplicate”; all other information is completely copied from the old document.

If the applicant changes his last name for family reasons (marriage or other reasons), the diploma is reissued. The old sample is confiscated by employees and canceled. It is prohibited to keep the certificate with the old surname “as a keepsake”.

These procedures can also take several months. When everything is ready, the relevant orders are published on the website of the Higher Accreditation Commission. Information on changing the name of a scientist is located in the section of the Higher Attestation Commission website “Orders on extradition.” A separate page of the Internet resource, “Orders for Restoration,” is devoted to the restoration of lost certificates and certificates.
