The education system is not able to quickly develop in isolation from the outside world, and therefore the need to borrow foreign experience for the further development of existing standards of educational programs. Since Russia is a party to the Bologna process aimed at the creation and development of the European Higher Education, particular attention should be paid to the study of the European experience in the development of educational programs in the field of public administration.
