The department of the university where the future professor works must provide proof that he or she teaches his or her subject in the state language.

Academic councils decide who should be given the title of professor. This body is guided by the fact that all the criteria should be met, and that in the university where the future professor works, more than 6 employees specializing in the same field as he/she works should vote in favor of awarding him/her the title.

After that, an attestation case is drawn up, and the professor is awarded a certificate (issued by the MES), which is a confirmation of the level of professional qualification, and also affects the salary and the opportunity to get a new position in the university.
