Russian University Drops Bachelor's Theses for Law Students as AI Reshapes Higher Education

An academic council at the Sochi Institute of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) has approved a proposal by the Faculty of Law to abolish final qualifying theses for bachelor's students enrolled in the Law program. The new rules will apply to students admitted in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 academic years. According to the institute, modern artificial intelligence systems are capable of analyzing judicial practice, formulating legal arguments, and producing extensive legal texts within minutes. As a result, the traditional bachelor's thesis has lost its value as a reliable tool for assessing students' professional competencies.
