The monograph is devoted to the analysis of the state and development trends of Russian universities. In the first section General problems of development of the Russian universities, in the second – management of changes of administrative and pedagogical potential of the higher school, in the third – changes in the student environment of universities are considered. The book is addressed to specialists studying the problems of the labor market and the market of educational services, and will be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and doctoral students of universities and research institutes.

The article analyses the features of students’ social behavior during the period of preparation for training and the period of Master’s study at University. We have chosen third- and fourth-year Bachelor programs students and first- and second-year Master’s programs students from seven regional state universities of Russia as a research object. We have used a specially developed questionnaire. The analysis of the results of complex monitoring of Bachelor and Master’s students made it possible: to estimate the degree of Bachelor students’ awareness of the purpose of master studies and their readiness to make the choice; to define the motives of both groups of students for studying on master’s programs; to estimate financial position of the Russian master’s students. We discuss the mechanisms to improve the quality of Master’s program educaional process at Russian higher education institutions, which will promote more effective functioning of the master’s studies system in Russia. We also offer a complex of scientific and methodological resources providing a general information field for all the participants of educational process aimed at improvement of the quality of master preparation at Universities.
