The catalogue lists bachelor and specialist programmes by field of study, academic unit and language. The admission programme determines the initial field, while some programmes provide a later choice of field or specialisation.
The university-wide coverage of delayed specialisation has not been established. Interdisciplinary courses form a separate shared elective module within degree programmes.
The curriculum defines programme content, workload and sequence. Elective courses are grouped into blocks of two or more alternatives from which students select a course according to their interests.
One RUDN credit equals 36 academic hours. Programme-specific elective blocks coexist with the cross-faculty module governed by separate interdisciplinary-course regulations.
The programme specifies Land Management and Cadastres as the field of study. Students may complete additional training in Professional Communication Translation in parallel. This language qualification is additional education and does not establish a second specialisation within the normal workload of the primary degree.
The Oil and Gas Engineering bachelor curriculum includes interdisciplinary module B1.V.DV.02 worth 2 credits within the 240-credit primary degree. Its generic Interdisciplinary Module Courses entry is implemented through the university-wide interdisciplinary-course offer and registration rules.
Other elective blocks contain prescribed alternatives in social sciences, humanities and field-specific subjects. Optional additional courses are separate from the primary degree. The full-time programme lasts four years.
The Finance and Credit bachelor curriculum contains several B1.V.DV blocks with alternatives in digitalisation, entrepreneurship, finance and related subjects. These blocks form part of the primary degree and prescribe subject-specific boundaries for the respective choices.
The Philology bachelor curriculum provides choices of practicum, artificial-intelligence subjects, social-science and humanities subjects, and other electives. These programme-specific alternatives do not by themselves define the shared interdisciplinary-course catalogue.
The interdisciplinary module is part of the curriculum and pools courses available to full-time degree programmes. Students register for one course through their personal accounts. Bachelor and specialist students choose a course developed by another academic unit. Courses comprise 72-108 academic hours, and completion is recognised within the primary programme and diploma supplement.
For the Medical Institute, these courses are optional additional subjects unless the unit includes them in the required curriculum; master programmes also normally treat them as optional. Individual courses have capacity limits. Students who do not select a course may be allocated to available places.
The education section records an offer of 89 interdisciplinary courses and 3,558 students completing 86 courses. The development diagram identifies 14 participating academic units. These figures describe regular use of the shared catalogue; the unit count is not a breakdown of participants by their home unit.
Completion numbers are not separated by qualification level and do not show how many students obtained their preferred course. They therefore do not establish the exact coverage of bachelor and specialist students or the quality of course allocation.
The four-year full-time Computer and Information Sciences broad-entry bachelor programme provides shared mathematics and computing preparation for the first two years. Students then select a graduating department and either Mathematics and Computer Science or Fundamental Informatics and Information Technologies, with further pathway choices through elective modules.
Field selection is presented as an ordinary step after the shared stage. This architecture applies to the specified broad-entry programme; the page does not report completed allocations or the university-wide share of such pathways.
The 2022 report records the launch of admission with specialisation selection after the second year across five broad groups: mathematics, computing, architecture, economics and management, and applied geology and mining. It lists 11 fields or specialities and more than 450 entrants. The shared stage introduces subjects from different profiles before field selection.
The figure measures the launch scale. The report does not establish subsequent allocation results or the current university-wide proportion of students following delayed-selection pathways.
The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 35,626 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.
The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 60.61% and master students are 16.01%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
