Abstract

The contemporary system of higher education in the Russian Federation exhibits pronounced regional heterogeneity, driven by differences in the structure of specialist training. This article presents the results of a cluster analysis based on the 2024 Federal Statistical Observation VPO31, covering all 83 federal subjects and 56 fields of study.Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the k–means algorithm, a stable two–cluster structure was identified: the first cluster comprises scientific–technical and multidisciplinary centers, focused on STEM disciplines and creative industries; the second includes peripheral regions with a practice–oriented profile, dominated by socio–humanitarian and locally relevant fields.The study demonstrates that Information Technology (IT) fields do not constitute a separate «digital» cluster but are inherently embedded within a broader scientific–technical ecosystem. These findings underscore the need for a differentiated approach to regional higher education policy.Â
