RUSSIAN STATE SOCIAL UNIVERSITY

Russian State Social University, a place in Russia where Social Studies flourish

Russian State Social University (RSSU), the biggest provider of social education in Russia and the former Soviet Union.

What is Social Education?

Usually the social education is defined as a specific category of study and research, that is crucial for the development of society. At RSSU we understand social education in a broader sense as the combination of degree programs for managers, state civil servants, social workers, sociologists, anthropologists, etcetera, id est all those degree programs the graduates of which work for the improvement of society and for the needs of each individual. In other words – social workers.

It is our view that such a discipline of higher education, one that touches all areas of personal and social life, and helps to create better living conditions for everybody, could be the basis for the development of higher education as a whole, giving it the dual dimensions of social responsibility and humanity.
