Arzhantsev noted that several more employeesthe faculty plans to submit doctoral dissertations very soon, and it hopes that the number of PhDs in computer science will soon become significant

University representatives note that earlier inIn Russia it was possible to become a doctor of technical or physical and mathematical sciences. It has become possible to become a Doctor of Computer Science, since in 2018 the Higher School of Economics received the right to award its own academic degrees.
