In this paper we propose to consider how globalization affects education, as radical reforms associated with the transition to innovative technologies and principles of the globalization of the labor market in Western civilization affect the emerging economies, in particular to Russia, what is happening now in higher school in the context of globalization, how universities respond to changes in the external environment, how they change their programs, approaches to learning. The author deals with the universalization and individualization of education, defines the role of the Bologna process, its architecture in the modernization programs and levels of education in the Russian Federation and the influence of various international and independent foundations in Russia’s integration processes in a common economic and social space in Europe. On the example of the design and implementation of the dual degree program the author provides details of how the integration processes are taking place in the Russian State University of Tourism and Service, through which instruments carried out are academic exchanges and research. The article analyzes the compatibility of curricula, practice-modular programs, the feasibility of the use of innovative teaching technologies, interactive teaching methods, and competence-based approach to labor market requirements. On the basis of the author´s survey it’s highlighted what problems arise in the implementation of dual degree programs, what the benefits and difficulties of students and teachers are in the process of participation in international academic mobility.

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to understand the role of academic mobility of graduates of Kazakhstani universities in increasing their competitiveness in employment. This article is devoted to the analysis of the employment of university graduates who have had external academic mobility programs. The study of the role of academic mobility of graduates of Kazakhstani universities in the process of their further employment was carried out on the basis of an analysis of some research results conducted on the basis of the Center for the Bologna Process and Academic Mobility of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (СBP&AM) in 2012–2013, as well as the results of a survey of students in a number of Kazakhstani universities conducted by the authors on the basis of the South Kazakhstan University in 2020. The analysis of various factors and measures influencing the increase in the efficiency of academic mobility of university graduates is carried out. As a result of the questionnaire survey, it was found that the majority of university graduates who were trained under the program of academic mobility in foreign universities were able to find a job rather quickly. It is concluded that the lack of funding for tuition does not always contribute to the choice of a strong partner university by students for internship under the academic mobility program. As a result of the study, the authors made a proposal that universities need to strengthen their work to assist in employment on the basis of mutually beneficial partnerships with employers, as well as to ensure that the competencies acquired by students abroad meet the requirements of the labor market in Kazakhstan.

A summary of the personal investment in teaching fluid mechanics over 40 years in a French university is presented. Learning and Teaching Science and Engineering has never been easy, and in recent years it has become a crucial challenge for curriculum developers and teaching staff to offer attractive courses and optimized assessments. One objective is to ensure that students acquire competitive skills in higher science education that enable them to compete in the employment market, as the mechanical field is a privileged sector in industry. During the last decade, classical learning and teaching methods have been coupled with hands-on practice for future schoolteachers in a specific course on subjects including fluid mechanics. The hands-on/minds-on/hearts-on approach has demonstrated its effectiveness in training primary school teachers, and fluids are certainly a nice source of motivation for pupils in science learning. In mechanical engineering, for undergraduate and graduate students, the development of teaching material and the learning and teaching experience covers up to 40 years, mostly on fluid dynamics and related topics. Two periods are identified, those prior to and after the Bologna Process. Most recently, teaching instruction has focused on the Fluid Mechanics Concept Inventory (FMCI). This inventory has been recently introduced in France, with some modifications, and remedial tools have been developed and are proposed to students to remove misconceptions and misunderstandings of key concepts in fluid mechanics. The FMCI has yet to be tested in French higher education institutions, as are the innovative teaching methods that are emerging in fluid mechanics.

The relevance of the topic is due to the difficulties that the Russian higher education system is facing today. Higher education together with the education system as a whole constitutes the most important factor in the development of national production. The progress of higher education must meet the requirements of the modern market. The purpose of the article is to identify areas of improvement of the education system, corresponding to promising trends in the development of the labor market. Changes in the modern labor market are changing the role of higher education in the economy. It should create a solid foundation of knowledge and skills of graduates, which will allow them to adapt to the changing labor market and independently develop their careers. The system of higher education of the future should change qualitatively in comparison with the level existing in Russia. The constantly evolving skills required by employers in the modern labor market necessitate a qualitative improvement of university graduates. Highly qualified specialists in any profession of the future should possess not only “hard” skills, but also “soft” skills. The flexibility of the modern labor market requires the appropriate flexibility of the higher education system. Universities should make greater use of new educational technologies to achieve this goal.

The Bologna process has brought some new dimensions to the discussion around the structure and organization of university degrees. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this discussion by focusing on three particular aspects: the increase in the level of competition between the schools, the type of labor market access rendered possible by the first cycle of studies and, in close relationship with the latter aspect, the issue of the skills and competences that the students are supposed to have acquired upon ending their university studies. Finally, we address the issue of the teaching methods and their repercussions upon the structure of the courses.

The creation and improvement of modern information technologies require higher education institutions to introduce new approaches to learning, ensuring the development of communicative, creative and professional knowledge, and the need for self-education. The introduction of information technology in the educational process of universities is moving to a new stage - the introduction of new multimedia educational materials. A large number of diverse information resources are being created in Russia, which have significantly improved the quality of educational and scientific activities. More and more often multimedia technologies are used in training, the spectrum of which has expanded significantly: from the creation of training programs to the development of a holistic concept for building educational programs in the field of multimedia, the formation of new learning tools. Methodically, the textbooks are structured in such a way that they meet the programs of leading universities in Europe and the requirements of a credit-modular system for organizing the educational process, which laid the foundation in our country like the ECTS system adopted in the Bologna process. The practical value lies in the fact that the textbooks allow students, bachelors, masters and graduate students of technical universities to independently master the knowledge of modern electronics. The materials of the textbook will help specialists in practice in the development, implementation and operation of electronic devices and systems, which are an integral part of electrical, radio engineering, telecommunications, computer, biomedical and other devices and complexes, technological equipment for automating technological processes, marine, space and defense equipment.
