Humanitarian Education in Modern Russia: Problems and Ways to Overcome Them

Abstract

The article deals with problematic situations in the field of higher humanitarian education, which reduce the quality of training of specialists. We paid primary attention to the leading Russian universities of the financial and economic profile. We based our research on Internet resources and media materials. We have shown that the problems in the field of higher education in the humanities are diverse, complex, associated with social preferences, the current situation in the country and the general vector of state policy. Based on the analysis, we proposed possible ways of overcoming the identified problems. To improve higher education in the humanities, the psychology of the participants in the educational process should constantly be at the centre of the attention of researchers. Also, training and team project work should become an obligatory element of the educational process.
