Moscow's pre-professional classes will begin training future psychologists in a broad range of fields. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"We strive to make our pre-professional education programs as responsive as possible to the needs of the modern world and the labor market. Today, more and more people recognize the need to take care of their mental health, especially in large cities, and professionals in this field are becoming increasingly in demand. Therefore, we decided to expand the psychological and pedagogical focus of our pre-professional classes through a new partnership with the psychology departments of leading Russian universities, including Lomonosov Moscow State University and Sechenov University. This will allow students to explore a wide range of professions during their two years in the pre-professional class, including clinical and business psychology, as well as speech therapy and special education. For today's high school students, this offers a promising educational and career path," said Anastasia Rakova.

To enroll in the psychology and pedagogy class, students must take the Basic State Exam (BSE) in biology and achieve a good or excellent grade. The average score across all BSEs, including Russian language, mathematics, and one additional elective, must be at least a B. Students will study biology in depth, take specialized courses in social psychology, general physiology, and the fundamentals of modern neuroscience, and engage in project-based research at partner universities. These courses will also provide a first introduction to their future profession and help them choose the psychology field they are interested in.

Thirteen leading Moscow universities, including Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis, and I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, partnered with the psychology and pedagogical classes.

For example, at Lomonosov Moscow State University, the first university in the country to establish a psychology department, schoolchildren will be able to learn about psychology as a research discipline. At the National Research University Higher School of Economics, students will study the cognitive psychology of digital interface users and the psychology of organized communication, and will work in a laboratory of linguistic, intercultural, and creative competencies and research and study groups dedicated to cognitive research. The Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis presents all modern approaches to psychological counseling, from the Gestalt approach to cognitive behavioral therapy. Furthermore, the university has laboratories, including an animal psychology laboratory, and a specialized room for supervised classes with a psychologist, speech therapist, and special education teacher.

At the cognitive laboratory of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, schoolchildren will be able to learn about the work of experimental psychologists and master modern research equipment. At the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University and the I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, they will learn more about clinical psychology and the specifics of psychologists' work in the medical field.

Pre-vocational education is a unique Moscow project designed to help high school students consciously choose their future specialty and their own educational path. Pre-vocational classes are available in over 70 percent of Moscow schools, and they enroll over 40 percent of all high school students in the city.
