Entrepreneurial education in Russian universities: scope, types of programs, balance of competencesThere is a result of the conducted research on the analysis of entrepreneurial curricula at the undergraduate and graduate level are indicated in the article. There was chosen Russian universities that announced curricula of this kind in which the following parameters were studied: the proportion of undergraduate programs of entrepreneurial education among all undergraduate programs; the proportion of graduate programs of entrepreneurial education among all graduate programs; the proportion of disciplines in the framework of entrepreneurial curricula focused on hard skills development; the proportion of disciplines in the framework of entrepreneurial curricula focused on soft skills development. Entrepreneurial education on graduate level: current state and new challengesThis article continues the series of publications devoted to the study of entrepreneurial curricula at
Russian universities and their impact on the formation of the small and medium business sector in our
country. A study of entrepreneurial curricula at the graduate level has been carried out. In general,
our analysis shows the underdevelopment of entrepreneurial education at the graduate level in Russian
universities. Also, our data confirm the existence of a significant gap between the attempts of
entrepreneurial activities of the universities and the content of the graduate curricula they implement.
Among the results of the our research, we can note that the master’s curricula in entrepreneurial
education is potentially the most perspective and in demand for solving the problems of regional
development. Analysis of the programs for the development of «basic» universities, a new group of
Russian universities formed to support the development of territories, shows that most universities
recognize their challenges and activities in this area, however, the level of existing practices does not
yet allow us to speak about the sustainability of the process of creating new master’s curricula in entrepreneurship.
A significant methodological and content limitation of the formation of master’s curricula
in entrepreneurship is the unresolved issues of the correlation between hard and soft skills, future skills
in the system of graduate education. The professional community has not yet developed approaches
to the development of curricula, teaching technologies that meet the modern demands in entrepreneurial
education. There are the lack of discussion platforms on these topics, discussions are mostly
concentrated in several universities and the Russian Association for Entrepreneurship Education.
The question of taking into account the educational results obtained in other universities and types
of entrepreneurship curricula, in particular on the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes,
remains a difficult issue. Coinciding for a large part of the content, requirements and learning
outcomes, they are in different «weight» categories and are difficult to integrate, contrary to common
sense. It seems to us that the existing approaches to the financing of the graduate programmes
practically do not give a chance to create educational products of the required quality. If there is no
drastic change in funding standards, the set of graduate programs will for the most part remain slightly
improved undergraduate programs, including in the graduate level of entrepreneurial education.

Entrepreneuial education and formation of competencies related to damage assessment and risk managementThe article deals with the issues of training in entrepreneurial education, the role of damage assessment
and risk management in the formation of the competencies of future entrepreneurs. The
analysis of domestic and foreign approaches to the formation of basic entrepreneurial competencies.
The paper emphasizes the importance of the entrepreneur’s ability to analyze and manage
risks, including from external anthropogenic and natural impacts. The analysis confirmed that an
important component of the educational programs of entrepreneurial education are the disciplines
related to damage assessment and risk management in entrepreneurial activity. The article contains
the study of educational programs of bachelor and master’s degree programs of 55 leading Russian
Universities that provide training in the areas of «Economics», «Management» and «Innovation».
The study revealed a low indicator of the average proportion of subjects forming competence in
the field of damage assessment and risk management, as well as the advantages of educational
programs in the direction of «Economy» in the study of these issues. The article raises the problem
of methodological support of disciplines on damage assessment and risk management, as well as
describes the previously conducted study on the assessment of comprehensive damage, which
was conducted in 2016 – 2017. In the course of the previous study, for the first time the definition,
classification and methodology of comprehensive fire damage assessment, taking into account the
assessment of indirect economic, socioeconomic and environmental — economic damage, was
proposed. The developed methodology will enable to train future entrepreneurs to the issues of
damage assessment and risk management.

Entrepreneurial education in modern Russian universities: regional aspectThe article discusses the dynamics of the development of entrepreneurial education in Russian
universities. The authors conducted a survey of graduate and undergraduate curricula in universities
in the country for the period of 2017 — 2019 with the regional focus. This made it possible to
compare the current level of implementation of entrepreneurial curricula with the data of 2017, as
well as to assess the state of entrepreneurial ecosystems of the regions in terms of the provision of
entrepreneurs with higher education institutions. The obtained data allowed to establish the growth
in the number of programs for entrepreneurial education of bachelor and master programs, and
the analysis of statistical data on the state of entrepreneurship posed the problem of the growing
gap in the orientation of student youth towards entrepreneurial activity and the contraction of the
entrepreneurial segment in the national economy. The article provides recommendations on the
development of entrepreneurial education, describes the key areas and problems of development
in this field of university activity.
