The results of these transformations system have stimulated a plethora of research in the field of higher education. However, the effects of these changes on doctoral education have been less often in researchers’ focus. In this paper, we have examined the changes and effects of the reform period on doctoral education based on the data from the Monitoring of the Universities’ Effectiveness. The analysis showed that during the last five years there has been a redistribution of the doctoral students towards the leading universities. Moreover, there are magnet universities in the federal districts which attract a significant part of the doctoral students.
