Strategy for international students recruitment

16

• Implementing Agreement with Rossotrudnichestvo;• Conducting off-site entrance examinations in CIS

counties (2014: 111 budget students, 392 contract students);

• Strengthening cooperation with recruiting agencies (29 companies);

• Establishing direct links with secondary schools abroad, involving assignment of Russian language teachers from KFU;

• Spreading information in international mass-media and on-line educational portals (China, Cyprus and India);

• Participating in international education fairs (2014 – 19 fairs, including 11 in non-CIS countries, 8 in CIS countries)

Strategy for international students recruitment

17

Increasing the number of academic programs in English (12 programs):

Launching Grant program for international students in KFU priority areas

• Medicine (Specialist’s Degree – 6 programs)• Law (Master’s Degree – 2 programs), • Philology (Master’s Degree – 2 programs) • Chemistry (Master’s Degree – 1 program) • Management (Master’s Degree – 1 program)

Results for 2014-2015:Specialist’s Degree and Master’s Degree – 70 grantsPhD studies – 46 grants

1. Forecasting. Leadership in educational and research activities: roadmap compliance with world-class research and technological trends.

2. Human resources. Attracting and fostering world-class academic staff.

3. Marketing. World-wide KFU brand promotion, increasing competitiveness of KFU academic programs and research, attraction of talented students.

4. Structural changes. Administrative reform and changes in University management.

5. Resources concentration. Focus on priority areas, phasing out non-efficient divisions.

6. Other initiatives. Reforms in the sphere of education, R&D, infrastructure, etc.: supplementary initiatives enhancing international competitiveness.

Implementing recommendations

20

Feasibility

Human resourcesIn 2014 more than 100 post-docs and about 50 leading Russian and international researchers (24 having very high level of science citation indexes) were recruited

Structural change Recently KFU organizational structure has undergone significant changes in order to adapt the management system for the effective implementation of the Program for Competitive Growth. There were set up: International Academic Council, PCG Directorate, Project Office; Recruiting Office; Sociological service; Publication support office; Marketing center; University brand

building office; International student and staff support service

Resource endowment

On June 9, 2014 the President of Tatarstan R.N.Minnikhanov signed the law «On government support to Kazan Federal University academic development» (№48-ЗРТ). Major support to KFU and amounts of co-financing allocated from Republic budget are presented in the Draft of the Republic State Program. Estimated funds of the State Program for the implementation of KFU PCG activity will amount up to 5 155.6 mln rbl by 2020.

Major challenges in PCG implementation

Complicated procedure for launching new fields of training

Restrictions in establishing subsidiary academic and research subdivisions

Tax barriers for public-private partnerships and cooperation with companies
