THE DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM "HISTORY AND DIALOGUE OF CULTURES" OF THE PEOPLES' FRIENDSHIP UNIVERSITY OF RUSSIA AND THE UNIVERSITY GRENOBLE-ALPES AS AN ASPECT OF INTELLECTUAL MIGRATION AND FRENCH-RUSSIAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION

One of the fundamental principles of the Bologna Convention is to create conditions for mobility of teachers and trainees. In this context, the intellectual migration provides the possibility of such mobility. International activity of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University) is one of the priority areas in the framework of the educational policy of the University. Since the mid-2000s the RUDN University has been successfully implementing the programs of double diplomas with foreign universities and an example of such activity is a joint master program "History and dialogue of cultures". This program is designed in partnership with the University Grenoble-Alpes (France) (UGA) in 2007 and involves several types of educational mobility: academic, scientific, student. During the period of validity of the agreement on joint program of Russian and French students were able to study in the master program of RUDN University and UGA but also to participate in scientific events to consult with the professorial and teaching staff, to engage in active research work. In addition to student mobility, this program also involves academic exchanges, the interaction of scientific schools and laboratories of the two Universities. Many universities try to broaden the range of teaching special disciplines by attracting leading lectures from other universities to improve the competitiveness in the global education market. Moreover, in this context the program of double magistracy creates the conditions for such activities as academic mobility and its implementation in the framework of interuniversity cooperation is one of the fundamental points of the bilateral agreement between RUDN University and UGA.
