Tougher Thesis Standards Introduced

Our University was granted the right to award Candidacies and Doctorates under the new regime after a 2017 competency assessment from the Ministry. Both Ms Chernova and Ms Kalashnikova successfully defended their theses in their chosen speciality, 'Differential Equations, Dynamic Systems and Optimal Control'. Dr Vladimir Vasilyev, who chaired the Dissertation Council, was keen to point out the significance of the University's ability to award such diplomas. This vastly increases our prestige and the standing of our academic staff, as we are the only University in the Region with this right.
