Russian term or phrase: нам не подходит в силу традиций
taken from the following paragraph about the higher education system in Russia:

Это двухуровневая система высшего образования.
Бакалавриат – это четыре года фундаментальной подготовки.
Облегчённый трёхгодичный бакалавриат, который практикует во многих западных странах, нам не подходит в силу традиций.

English translation:is not acceptable due to established practices
Explanation:
Я бы так написала, так как речь идет об установившейся практике организации высшего образования (семестры, модули и т.п. расчитаны на 4 года, поэтому всунуть их в 3 года будет сложновато)
