A study on thesis supervision mechanisms in China-Russia collaborative bachelor programs for developing multidisciplinary competencies

this article analyzes the management of bachelor thesis writing under the Sino-Russian joint education model for cultivating internationalized interdisciplinary talents with the “Major + Russian” approach. In this context, the bachelor thesis serves not only as an important measure of students' comprehensive abilities but also as a key indicator of the quality of joint teaching. Using Heilongjiang University as a case study, the current thesis management under this model still faces multiple challenges, such as delayed topic initiation, lack of a joint Sino-Russian supervision mechanism, difficulty in ensuring the quality of bilingual thesis writing, and an underdeveloped process management system. These issues hinder the improvement of thesis quality and the effective utilization of joint educational resources. Based on a review of relevant domestic and international research, combined with practical exploration at Heilongjiang University, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the current situation and problems in bachelor thesis management under the “Major + Russian” model. It further proposes solutions such as establishing a dual-stage mechanism of “term paper + graduation thesis”, building a joint Sino-Russian supervision system, enhancing support for cross-linguistic writing, and improving comprehensive process management. The aim is to offer theoretical and practical references for optimizing thesis management in the context of Sino-Russian joint education and to support the overall improvement in the quality of cultivating high-level internationalized interdisciplinary talents.
