Latest reviews from the National Research University Higher School of Economics

Some specialties: Internet project manager, logistician, Innovation management and many others. It’s not particularly difficult to enroll if you score the required number of points to pass. However, you shouldn’t expect freebies there. You should have a zeal for studying, they can easily kick you out. And this can lead to negative opinions about the university. Still, you have to come there with a clearly defined goal and to study specialized subjects, and not just sit and get a diploma at the end. That won’t work here. On the square...

After receiving my diploma and Unified State Exam scores, I chose the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Faculty of Sociology. It was easy to do. First, you submit the necessary documents to the admissions committee, then wait for the admission results. It should be noted that while submitting documents, I had to wait about an hour because the queue was huge. But I am glad that the admissions committee works quickly and smoothly. Everything was simple: it was indicated where to go, what to take, and when to wait your turn. Next, the list is posted on the university website...

About HSE

The Higher School of Economics was founded in 1992 in Moscow. In 2009, it received the status of a National Research University. This is a public educational institution. Currently, the rector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics is Y.I. Kuzminov. Since 1993, the university has used a two-level (Bologna) education system: bachelor's degree - 4 years, master's degree - 2 years.

Education

The university uses a modular education system. The academic year is divided into 4 modules rather than regular semesters. This division makes it possible to distribute the academic load among students more evenly and thereby ensure consistency of student efforts throughout the year. Assessment of academic performance consists of several components, i.e. A cumulative system is used, thanks to which students’ knowledge is assessed more objectively.

An annual rating of teachers and students is also carried out. Based on student assessments, ratings are created, according to which a discount of up to 70% of the cost of tuition can be calculated for students receiving education on a paid basis. Many HSE students receive several scholarships, the amount of which can reach up to 30,000 rubles.

Economics occupies the main place in the educational process of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. At all faculties, students receive knowledge in microeconomics, macroeconomics and institutional economics. They also attend lectures on applied economic subjects according to their chosen specialization. Each of the faculties has subjects related to social knowledge (philosophy, sociology, logic, psychology and others). Foreign languages ​​also occupy one of the leading places at HSE - some subjects are taught in English.

In the learning process, the resources of electronic libraries are widely used. HSE University is subscribed to 39 electronic library databases, which provide access to the full text of 53,000 scientific journals.

The university successfully implements double degree programs and so-called “cross” education, as well as student exchange programs. HSE has more than 160 foreign partners, which makes it possible for graduates to receive diplomas from various European universities. Every year, the Higher School of Economics carries out more than 600 additional education programs, including business education, second higher education, MBA, EMBA and DBA. In order to develop additional education and professional retraining, in 2012, the GASIS Academy and the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM) joined the Higher School of Economics.

Employment

A large number of senior university students gain work experience in their chosen specialty during their student years.

At the time of receiving their diploma, about 60% of students already have a future job. 6 months after graduating from the National Research University Higher School of Economics, about 80% of graduates work, and the remaining 20% ​​of students continue to receive education in master's or postgraduate studies directly in Russia or abroad.

According to statistics from the HSE Internal Monitoring Center, graduates are employed in such fields as marketing, advertising, PR, business, consulting, insurance, education, accounting, finance, trade, press and journalism, energy, telecommunications, IT.

University structure

The following activities are carried out at the Higher School of Economics:

• 107 research institutes and centers,
• 32 design-educational and scientific-educational laboratories,
• 4 campuses in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm, Nizhny Novgorod.

The university is one of the few educational institutions where, after the military reform, a military department remained. Future officers for missile and ground forces units are trained here. Students undergo drill, tactical and tactical-special fire training. Information and educational work with students and moral and psychological support were also organized. Practical training is carried out with future officers. Undergraduate and postgraduate students of the National Research University Higher School of Economics are provided with places to live in the dormitory.

HSE has a faculty of pre-university preparation. Schoolchildren in grades 5-11 are trained at this faculty. Teachers from the National Research University Higher School of Economics prepare them for the Unified State Exam, Olympiads, and State Examinations. In 2013, a lyceum for high school students was opened.

Program “University open to the city”

In 2013, the university launched the “University Open to the City” program. In Moscow's Gorky Park this summer, university scientists began holding lectures in public for the first time. Thus, anyone who is interested in the topic can listen to the lecture. In the fall, the lecture hall moved to Moscow museums. Lectures are now held every Thursday, admission is absolutely free and free.

Higher in ratings

In 2015, the Higher School of Economics joined the group<51-100>in the field of Development studies (social development studies) of the QS ranking (Quacquarelli Symonds) - one of the most famous international rankings of universities in the world. In this rating category, the Higher School of Economics is the only Russian university.

Story

Creation

The idea of ​​​​creating the Higher School of Economics - an economic school of the European model - was born at the turn of 1980-1990, when it became clear that the existing system of planned economic education in the country did not meet the requirements of the new political and economic situation. Then a group of teachers from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University - Evgeny Yasin, Yaroslav Kuzminov, Revold Entov, Oleg Ananin, Rustem Nureyev - after several attempts to introduce the foundations of market economic theory into the curricula of existing universities, realized the need to build a new economic school, which from the very beginning would be based on the principles world economic science. This meant providing students with tools for analyzing and forecasting real processes, teaching them to work with statistics and economic models, and giving them a common language with the global community of professional economists.

The first real attempt to create HSE can be considered alternative departments of economic theory, organized at MIPT (1989-1990) and at the physics and history faculties of Moscow State University (1990-1991). Students could choose between courses taught by young teachers and recent graduates of the Faculty of Economics, and Marxist-Leninist political economy. Many of those who later formed the backbone of the State University-Higher School of Economics went through the school of these departments. There, the methodology for teaching economic theory in a country with a transition economy was worked out. The start of a new business was facilitated by the support of the Soros Foundation, which provided a one-year grant in 1989.

Early years

The starting period was marked by intensive “training of teachers”: Revold Entov taught the entire team of teachers - mostly former employees of academic institutes and Moscow State University - a course on key problems of economic theory, and Grigory Kantorovich updated their knowledge of mathematics. Since 1993, HSE teachers have regularly trained at leading European universities, primarily at the University of Rotterdam, whose Faculty of Economics, the largest in Europe, was a partner in the creation of the State University-Higher School of Economics within the framework of a grant from the European Union.

The principle of the State University-Higher School of Economics from the first day of its existence is a combination of strict, even brutal preparation with discussion and solution of pressing problems of the Russian economy. Leading economists who worked in the government became HSE professors: Evgeny Yasin, Alexander Shokhin, Leonid Vasiliev, Yakov Urinson, Vladimir Kossov, Evgeny Gavrilenkov, Mikhail Kopeikin, as well as scientists who came to the HSE from institutes of the Academy of Sciences and other research centers, as well as well as from Moscow State University: Lev Lyubimov, Igor Lipsits, Rustem Nureyev, Oleg Ananyin, Leonid Grebnev.

First vice-rectors L.M. Gokhberg V.V. Radaev A.T. Shamrin L.I. Jacobson

The Higher School of Economics is a university that trains economists, sociologists, managers and lawyers and conducts active international research activities. Philosophy, mathematics, literary history, journalism, psychology, sociology and even design are taught here. Under the roof of this modern, authoritative university, the leaders of Russian scientific schools, brilliant teachers have gathered, learning from whom is interesting and promising.

Features of the educational process:

During your undergraduate studies, you can study more than 30 different disciplines. Their selection depends on the content of the specific educational program and the choice of the student himself. Curricula are drawn up in such a way that a student studies no more than five disciplines at a time (excluding foreign languages ​​and physical education). In the first and second years, the classroom load and independent work make up approximately equal shares. In the third and fourth years, the student is offered more independent work.

The academic year is divided not into semesters, but into modules. There are 4 modules in a year - thus, the duration of a module is approximately equal to a school quarter. After each module there comes a week of session, during which, depending on the working curriculum, tests and exams may be held, or nothing may be carried out - in the latter case, this week turns into an unofficial vacation.

HSE has more than 100 student organizations, thousands of events, and its own student government. Student life at the university is almost impossible to describe: too dynamic, diverse and different for everyone. The only way to know it is to become a part of it.

Greetings to HSE applicants:

The Higher School of Economics is a research university that carries out its mission through scientific, educational, project, expert-analytical and sociocultural activities based on international scientific and organizational standards. We recognize ourselves as part of the global academic community; we consider international partnership and involvement in global university interaction to be key elements of our movement forward. As a Russian university, we work for the benefit of Russia and its citizens.

The basis of our activities is theoretical and empirical research and knowledge dissemination. Without compromising the quality of research and not limiting ourselves to teaching fundamental scientific knowledge, we strive to provide a practical contribution to the construction of a new Russia.

Our university is a team of scientists, staff, graduate students and students who are distinguished by an internal commitment to maintaining high academic standards in their activities. We strive to provide the most favorable conditions for the development of each member of our team.

We, who sometimes occupy different positions on various problems of our time and the past, are united by common values:

• the pursuit of truth;
• cooperation and interest in each other;
• honesty and openness;
• academic freedom and political neutrality;
• professionalism, self-demandingness and responsibility;
• active public position.

The Higher School of Economics was created by Decree of the Russian Government on November 27, 1992, initially as a center for training masters.

The starting period was marked by intensive “training of teachers”: R. Entov taught the entire team of teachers - mostly former employees of academic institutes and Moscow State University - a course on key problems of economic theory, and G. Kantorovich updated their knowledge of mathematics. Since 1993, HSE teachers have regularly undergone internships at leading European universities.

The principle of the School from the first day of its existence is a combination of strict, even brutal training with discussion and solution of pressing problems of the Russian economy. Leading economists who worked in the Government - E. Yasin, A. Shokhin, S. Vasiliev, Y. Urinson, V. Kossov, E. Gavrilenkov, M. Kopeikin, V. Baranov - became HSE professors.

Since 1995, HSE began to transform into a university where, along with economists, they train sociologists, managers and lawyers. Effective research and teaching teams began to form around O. Shkaratan, L. Ionin, S. Filonovich and other leading teachers who came to the School.

At the same time, a system of HSE research centers is being created, focused on applied research on orders from the Ministry of Economy, the Central Bank, the Ministry of Education and Science, commercial enterprises and banks.

In 2015, HSE National Research University entered the “51-100” group of the QS ranking in the area of ​​development studies (social development studies). In this ranking category, the Higher School of Economics became the only Russian university. HSE also turned out to be the only Russian university that was ranked in such subject groups as “economics and econometrics” and “sociology” (group 151-200). The fourth area of ​​the ranking that the Higher School of Economics was included in was philosophy (group 151-200).

More details Collapse https://www.hse.ru

The Higher School of Economics is a research university that carries out its mission through scientific, educational, project, expert-analytical and sociocultural activities based on international scientific and organizational standards. HSE is part of the global academic community, involved in global university interaction. The educational process is closely intertwined with research work. There are Cooperation Agreements, exchange and double degree programs with leading universities in the world.

Until 2014, HSE had about 40 faculties and departments. In the spring of 2014, structural reforms began: “large” faculties (“megafaculties”) were created at the university. These are analogues of the institutes (higher schools) that make up many universities around the world, and recently some of Russian universities.

In fact, we are not talking about consolidating existing faculties and departments (departments have been created on their basis), but about combining them into subject clusters. The “megafaculties” included departments, their varieties - schools, as well as specialized research centers and units of additional education.

"Large" faculties, consisting of departments, administer education.

“Large” faculties of HSE

• Faculty of Computer Science;
• Faculty of Economic Sciences;
• Faculty of Business and Management;
• Faculty of Communications, media and design;
• Faculty of World Economy and World Politics;
• Faculty of Humanities;
• Faculty of Social Sciences;
• Faculty of Mathematics; Faculty of Law;
• Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics.

Diploma from the University of London at ICEF

Since 1997, the Higher School of Economics, together with the London School of Economics and Political Science (a division of the University of London), has been implementing a unique project for Russian education. Training in International Institute of Economics and Finance ( ICEF) is conducted entirely in English according to programs approved by the HSE’s British partners. ICEF undergraduate graduates receive two diplomas - from the Higher School of Economics and the University of London. Graduates of the ICEF master's program receive a diploma from the National Research University Higher School of Economics and an official letter of certificate from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Studying at ICEF is free of charge.

Additional and business education

Already in the first years of work, the Higher School of Economics opened educational programs designed for adults who need to improve their skills, undergo professional retraining or obtain a second higher education in the fields of management, finance, marketing, human resources, and accounting. In 1999, the first intake for the MBA (Master of Business Administration) program was held. Subsequently, programs appeared in business informatics, practical psychology, corporate management, and even - with the addition of the State Academy of Investment Sector Specialists (GASIS) to the Higher School of Economics - in the field of construction and utilities. HSE departments offering continuing education programs work closely with faculties, research centers and laboratories of the university. To work with students, they invite the best teachers with experience in business or consulting for companies.

Today, at the Higher School of Economics you can receive additional professional education in the following programs:

• advanced training
• professional retraining
• MBA (Master of Business Administration)
• EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration)
• DBA (Doctor of Business Administration)
• Advanced Master in International Business
• Double Degree Program - Sports Management
• presidential program
• corporate training

The full name of the educational institution is National Research University Higher School of Economics, abbreviated as HSE. The unofficial name is the result of student folk art - “Higher”.

This university is among the top 5 best universities in the country and is rightly considered the most progressive and prestigious among the capital’s institutions.

General information about the National Research University "Higher School of Economics"

The university operates on a budgetary-commercial basis: the institution receives government subsidies, income from its own scientific projects, contract students and from third-party sponsors and organizations. Such multi-channel injections into the university budget enable the institution’s management to constantly improve the material and technical base of HSE and the very quality of education.

The National Research University Higher School of Economics operates 128 research centers, 36 scientific and design laboratories, 32 international laboratories led by foreign researchers. HSE conducts the most intensive international activities among capital universities, cooperates with 298 foreign partners, and has 41 double degree programs with foreign universities.

It is noteworthy that from the very day of its foundation the institution has been headed by a permanent rector - Ya. I. Kuzminov.

“We study not for school, but for life” is the motto of the Higher School of Economics.

History of the University

The Higher School of Economics cannot boast of a turbulent history. The first brick of this European-oriented university was not laid by Peter I himself, and its corridors were not trampled by Lomonosov or Nietzsche.

This is a relatively young, but very intensively developing, progressive university. If educational institutions were identified with cities, then HSE would be Singapore or Hong Kong.

So, the school was opened for students from November 17, 1992. Already in 2009, this university received the title of National Research University on a competitive basis.

Faculty of Law. We can safely say that this faculty prepares the best lawyers of Russian modern times. This is not unreasonable, because the university itself was created not without the participation of the administrative and ruling elite. It is important to note that students are taught material with a huge emphasis on practice. Specialists from government agencies, practicing lawyers, etc. are invited.

Faculty of Humanities. This faculty cannot be called specialized for HSE; reviews from experts also note that humanities students are trained here with the understanding that their specialization is a priori inferior to that of computer scientists or economists. But the faculty has the strongest school of foreign languages. Also, most lectures are public and optional for students of other specialties. Every student who wants to expand their horizons can come to cultural studies, philosophy and additional courses in foreign languages.

Faculty of Communications, Media and Design. This faculty is the domain of female students; there are even fewer males here than in the pedagogical institute. Apparently, the laurels of Anna Wintour or Carrie Bradshaw no longer give rest to the fair sex. But seriously, the faculty trains not only journalists, but rather full-fledged specialists for media communications with an emphasis on working in the Internet environment, PR companies, and design institutions.

Faculty of Economic Sciences- the most specialized and largest faculty. Student reviews of economics and statistics at HSE as a field of study sound rather ambiguous. Allegedly, the academic workload among students is borderline unbearable. But cooperation with global transnational corporations and universities, which is available at this faculty, gives students access to unique knowledge and the opportunity for unlimited development and successful employment anywhere in the world. Future Henry Fords and Adam Smiths are produced here. Let us lower our eyes to the fact that the well-known S. Mavrodi successfully studied here.

International Institute of Economics and Finance (ICEF)

This faculty should definitely be discussed separately. This is a diamond among pearls. A unique educational institution in the CIS. To create it back in 1997, the National Research University Higher School of Economics and the London School of Economics (one of the three leaders in economic education in the world) joined forces. And it turned out to be such a grandiose creation. Graduates of the institute receive both candy and ice cream - a diploma from the Higher School of Economics and a diploma from the London School of Economics.

The competition is merciless, and the workload at the faculty is impressive. From the very first day of school, all training is conducted in English. Budget places are only for winners of the All-Russian Olympiad. Enthusiastic reviews of international relations at HSE only fuel public interest in this university. Students spend a third of their course in London, absorbing all the practical knowledge that the experience of such an education can give. The excitement around admission to this faculty is enormous; even the tuition fee of 600 thousand rubles per year does not stop applicants.

If you don’t have the courage and finances to study at ICEF, you can get a bachelor’s degree at another department and enroll in a master’s program through a double degree program. HSE has 40 such programs.

Features of studying at HSE

There are a large number of educational features at the Higher School of Economics. Reviews from students note that studying at this university is completely different from standard education in our country. But this is easy to explain - the university greedily absorbs the experience of successful global educational institutions. And if we pay attention to the success of HSE graduates, it would also do well for other national universities to broaden their views on teaching and not turn away from successful world experience.

The Higher School of Economics became one of the first national universities to switch to a 4+2 curriculum (bachelor's, master's). The academic year is divided not into semesters, but into modules, there are four of them, and at the end of each, students receive certification. The sum of the module grades determines the annual grade.

The grading system is ten-point, in the European style.

In the tactics of constructing the educational process, an orientation towards success is visible. Students are immediately trained to be confident, competitive and highly motivated. The university has a rating system. Reviews from HSE students about these same ratings are full of devilish smiley faces, but even dissatisfied, tired students admit that nothing motivates as much as this very rating risk.

So what's the big deal? It's simple. Contractors with high ratings receive discounts or are transferred to the budget. State employees with a high rating retain their stipend, those with an average rating lose their stipend, and those with a low rating are transferred to a contract. This encourages students to be active, study non-stop, and get used to the conditions of a highly competitive environment.

There is no such subject as “Physical Education” at the university. There is a gym, various sections, courses, etc. Please develop yourself, take care of your health and physical condition. But this is a matter of choice.

Positive feedback from students about HSE

The only thing more subjective than the opinions of students is the opinion of children. Often reviews from HSE students are based on personal success or failure in their studies. But quite a few young people dare to express their opinion about HSE objectively and rationally.

A huge plus for the university - for this circumstance alone, it needs to erect a monument in the form of a happy student - there is practically no corruption at HSE. This is noted by most students. Either the reason is the intensive funding of the university’s activities by sponsors, or loyalty to the principles of “European transparency,” but students agree that it is very possible to obtain a diploma with knowledge alone.

The quality of knowledge, lectures and training of teachers varies among different faculties. If we analyze reviews of HSE in Moscow, students agree that the quality of teaching in the humanities and political science fields is slightly behind.

Not a single review can describe the quality of education as eloquently as the statistics on employment by profile after graduating from this university: 94% of graduates found a suitable job. This is despite the fact that 48% found a warm corporate job even before receiving their diploma. Leading companies send their recruits to prestigious universities to scout for valuable talent while they are still in college.

What negative aspects of studying at HSE do students most often mention in reviews?

Most of all, students complain about the workload and the need to gain knowledge in conditions of constant competition. We can endlessly discuss whether it is possible to pit students who were children just yesterday against each other. But the HSE management has made a choice, and the rating system is not going to be abolished.

Students are also indignant about the Anti-Plagiarism system. There is a university program where every work is checked. In the text, only 20% citations are allowed with an exact indication of the source. Everything else is the author’s personal judgments, conclusions, etc. Naturally, this greatly increases the time for preparing essays and coursework for students.

Dormitories of the Higher School of Economics

HSE buildings are scattered throughout the city, as are the dormitories. Today the Higher School of Economics operates 9 dormitories. Reviews about HSE dormitories are mostly positive, but extremely ironic. The whole humor is that they are located in the Moscow region, and the road from their place of residence to the academic building is an inexhaustible ground for student jokes. If we put this inconvenience aside, the rest of the HSE dormitories are made “for the people.” They are apartment type, they have all the amenities. There is one in Moscow. It is cheaper and closer, but is suitable only for residents who are unpretentious in terms of comfort.

All dormitories have free wireless Internet with access at any time of the day.

The atmosphere in the hostel is upbeat, productive and motivating. HSE did an elementally brilliant thing, they paid tribute to the desire of every person for everyday comfort. They made modern classrooms and dormitories for students, and they don’t worry about storing water in basins, washing their hair at the sink, etc. They care about acquiring knowledge and self-development.

Master's programs at HSE: student reviews, master's programs

Documents are accepted in electronic form. After approval of the electronic application, the originals can be brought to the admissions office or sent by mail.

All applicants undergo a competition in the form of entrance exams (most often economics + English + mathematics, but disciplines vary depending on the faculty).

The enrollment order is issued somewhere in mid-August, two weeks before the start of lectures.

Master's programs at HSE look very attractive. Almost all of them are bilateral and provide students with the opportunity to obtain double diplomas and gain a unique learning experience at Today, HSE cooperates with the universities of Humboldt in Berlin, Pantheon-Sorbonne in Paris, Mason in New York, with 10 universities in Britain, including the London School of Political Science, and also higher institutions in Canada, USA, Luxembourg, Finland, etc.
