The system of higher education in Russia is under reform, significant changes occur in the network of universities. Federal Universities and National Research Universities were formed. Higher mining education is also under changing. Russian educational standards for the training of mining engineers provide continuous training throughout 5,5 years (330 credits). Programs of training of mining engineers are the programs of the second level of higher education, and graduate programs. The System of Higher Mining Education in Russia is based on 37 universitys, include National research universities — 9; Federal universities — 4; participants of the program of increase of competitiveness — 4. Development of institutes of public administration in the system of training of mining engineers from the academic and professional communities allows us to create conditions for developing consolidated decisions in the content of educational programs.
