Аннотация: В статье авторы постарались рассмотреть российско-испанское образовательное сотрудничество на примере реализации программ двойных дипломов между Российским университетом дружбы народов (РУДН) и Университетом Балеарских островов (УБО). Поскольку сегодня Испания является стратегически важным партнером для России, изучение двустороннего диалога в рамах образовательной политики позволит выявить его особенности и определить перспективы на будущее. Также анализ потенциала университетского сотрудничества между двумя государствами на современном этапе необходим для расширения гуманитарного присутствия Испании и России за рубежом, а также для формирования положительного имиджа двух стран у иностранных партнеров. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что авторы детально проанализировали программы двойной магистратуры и двойной аспирантуры, действующие между РУДН И УБО, выявили состояние, перспективы развития, а также проблемы реализации данных программ. Исследование проводилось преимущественно историко-сопоставительным и системным методами. В ходе исследования было выявлено, что программы двойных дипломов между российскими и испанскими вузами являются неотъемлемым элементом образовательного взаимодействия двух стран. В статье утверждается, что важной нерешенной задачей, тормозящей двустороннее партнерство в данной области, остается несоответствие академических степеней в российской и западной системах образования.
