The defense of master's theses in the field of Philology (code 45.04.01) has commenced at Kazan Federal University. The educational track is titled "Russian as a Foreign Language (Based on E-Learning and Distance Education Technologies)." This joint degree program is implemented through the partnership between Bukhara State University (BukhSU) and the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication at Kazan Federal University.
From July 1 to July 3, graduate students from Uzbekistan presented their research before an attestation commission. The commission includes representatives from Kazan Federal University’s Philology Institute and Associate Professor F.R. Murtazayeva from the Department of Russian Language and Literature at BukhSU. This stage marks the logical conclusion of two years of dedicated and inspiring work. It not only demonstrated the students’ scholarly capacity but also contributed to strengthening international cooperation and promoting academic mobility.
The master's theses covered topics such as comparative analysis of literary sources, interlingual communication, translation theory, and philological interpretations of national identity. The students showcased their command of academic methodology, deep analytical skills in addressing relevant philological issues, and the ability to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical research.
The joint master's program between Kazan Federal University and BukhSU offers not only the opportunity to earn dual diplomas but also facilitates bilateral academic experience, exposure to diverse scientific traditions, broader perspectives, and stronger scholarly and cultural ties. It represents an investment not only in personal academic development but also in humanitarian cooperation between the two nations.
