In 2023 and 2024, the number of postgraduate graduates is recorded by specific disciplines and scientific fields. The table contains 49 rows, including total figures and breakdowns by individual fields, such as mathematics and mechanics or computer and information sciences. The indicator is measured in persons; the data covers the last two years and allows for an assessment of the structure of highly qualified personnel training
Chart of postgraduate graduates by field of study for 2023 and 2024, persons
Rosstat data for 2023–2024. Rows: 95, periods: 2. Measurement unit — person. Table rows: Graduates — total — Graduates; Graduates — total — including those who defended a thesis; Graduates — mathematics and mechanics — Graduates; Graduates — mathematics and mechanics — including those who defended a thesis…; Graduates — computer and information sciences — Graduates and others
Graduates — total — Graduates: the indicator increased from 13,529 to 15,007 in 2023–2024 — by 10.9%. Of the 25 largest rows, 14 increased and 11 decreased
Rows in the list are categorized by subject of study, allowing for comparison of specialist training volumes across different scientific sectors. The total for all fields is the first row, followed by specific groups, such as technical or natural sciences. Comparing these series shows which fields remain the most common and which show lower numbers of graduates
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Graduates — total — Graduates (15,007), Graduates — total — including those who defended a thesis (1,500), Graduates — computer science and engineering… (920), Graduates — biological sciences — Graduates (759), Graduates — physics and astronomy — Graduates (648). The gap between the highest and lowest is 5,002 times. The top five account for 87.3% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 2 periods in the dataset. Of 50 possible values, 50 (100%) are filled, meaning the table is almost entirely complete
