Number of doctoral graduates by scientific specialty groups, 2020–2022, 2023 edition
persons
Over three years, the number of PhD graduates changed from 339 in 2020 to 57 in 2022. The statistics distinguish between total graduates and graduates by specific scientific fields, such as physics or chemistry. Each row corresponds to a separate specialty group, allowing for an assessment of the distribution of trained personnel across scientific fields from 2020 to 2022
- Graduates — total — including with thesis defence
- Issue — Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Management — Issue
- Output — mechanical engineering and machine science — Output
- Issue — Physics — Issue
- Issue — Construction and Architecture — Issue
- Issue — General Biology — Issue
Chart of PhD graduates by scientific specialty groups, 2020–2022, persons
Who grew, who fell: 2020 → 2022
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2020–2022. Rows: 88, periods: 3. Unit of measurement — person. Breakdown: Graduation — total — Graduation; Graduation — total — including with thesis defence; Graduation — mechanics — Graduation; Graduation — physics — Graduation; Graduation — physics — including with thesis defence and others
Graduation — total — Graduation: the indicator fell from 339 to 243 in 2020–2022 — by 28.3%. Of the 19 largest rows, 5 increased, 14 decreased
All table numbers are series: 88
How to read this table
The rows are categorized by scientific discipline, enabling comparisons of graduate numbers in natural, technical, or humanities sciences. Comparing the total row with specialized fields shows the share of specific specialties within the total number of PhD graduates. Data is presented in units, i.e., in number of people
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Graduation — total — Graduation (354), Graduation — total — including with thesis defence (87), Graduation — computer science and computing (44), Graduation — mechanical engineering (23), Graduation — physics — Graduation (22). The gap between the largest and smallest is 354 times. The top five account for 82.4% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 3 observation periods. There are 75 values in the table out of 75 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
