It covers the fundamental issues of the training of historians at the Faculty of History of Moscow State University. A number of problems related to the transition to a new system of education is concerned, which will be introduced instead of the two-tier model of bachelor’s and master’s degrees that has existed for almost a decade and a half. It is noted that the new system will be a development of the integrated master’s program implemented at MSU, which proves the correctness of the course taken at the university for a full cycle and continuity of higher education. The author also gives due consideration to the impending reform of the training of scientific personnel in postgraduate studies and within the framework of the procedure for obtaining a PhD candidate degree without enrolment in a doctoral program. He considers the results of the introduction of the system of own doctoral examining boards at MSU, emphasizing its advantages in comparison with the system of doctoral examining boards of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, and highlighting the ways of solving the problems arising in connection with their activity. The publication program of the Faculty, as part of the series “Proceedings of the Faculty of History of MSU” is described, and the scientific journals published by the Faculty are also presented.
