Graduation from doctoral programs by scientific specialty
in the reporting year, persons
The number of doctoral graduates was recorded annually from 2018 to 2022. Rows show the total number of graduates and the breakdown by specific scientific fields, such as physics or chemistry. Data are provided in persons and cover a five-year period, reflecting the demand for various disciplines in the scientific community
- Total — of which with thesis defence

- Mechanical engineering — Doctoral graduates
- Physics — Doctoral graduates
- History and archaeology — Doctoral graduates
- Chemical technology — Doctoral graduates
- Construction and architecture — Doctoral graduates
- Chemistry — Doctoral graduates
- General biology — Doctoral graduates
- Food technology — Doctoral graduates
Chart of doctoral graduates by scientific specialty, 2018–2022, persons
Who grew, who fell: 2018 → 2022
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2018–2022. Series: 92, periods: 5. Unit of measurement — in the reporting year, persons. Shown by positions: Total — Graduates from doctoral studies; Total — of which with thesis defence; Mechanics — Graduates from doctoral studies; Physics — Graduates from doctoral studies; Physics — of which with thesis defence and others
Total — Graduates from doctoral studies: the indicator decreased from 330 to 243 in 2018–2022 — by 26.4%. The highest value was 356 (2019), the lowest was 243 (2022). This is an average annual decrease of 7.37%. Of the 20 largest series, 8 increased, 12 decreased
All table numbers are series: 92
How to read this table
The rows allow for a comparison of the volume of specialist training across different fields of knowledge. The total row shows the aggregate number of graduates, while individual rows provide details by specific scientific specialty. This helps determine the share of physicists, chemists, and other scientists in the total training of highly qualified personnel
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Total — Graduates from doctoral studies (356), Total — of which with thesis defence (87), Computer science, computational equipment and control… (44), Mechanical engineering and machine science — Graduates from doctoral studies (23), Physics — Graduates from doctoral studies (22). The gap between the highest and lowest is 178 times. The top five account for 77% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 5 periods. Cells with numbers: 125 out of 125 (100%) — almost no empty cells remain

Period and application
Data for 2018–2022 are relevant for analyzing scientific human resource potential. Information provided in persons is useful for researchers, academic institutions, and higher education specialists studying the dynamics of highly qualified personnel training
How it is calculated
The number of graduates by field shows how many people will enter the labour market in a few years and in which regions
Noted in the source itself: From 2023, doctoral graduates are awarded only in scientific fields for which academic degrees are conferred, as approved by the order of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia No. 118 dated 24 February 2021
1) С 2023 года выпуск докторантов осуществляется только по научным специальностям, по которым присуждаются научные степени, утвержденным приказом Минобрнауки России от 24 февраля 2021 г. No 118.
