Далее можно продолжить обучение в аспирантуре, оно проходит в течение трех лет.
Учебный год в российских высших школах длится с 1 сентября по июнь. Он разделен на два семестра, каждый из которых заканчивается сессией. Во время нее студенты сдают многочисленные зачеты, экзамены по изученным дисциплинам. Каникулы у студентов, получающих высшее образование, начинаются после сессий. Зимние длятся две-три недели, летние – два месяца. Самые сложные экзаменационные испытания студент проходит в последний год своего обучения. Зимой он сдает госэкзамены, они включают в себя вопросы по всем изученным дисциплинам. И летом защищает дипломную работу.
