I want to warn applicants and their parents! Entered MIEM HSE last year at a discount. I closed the first two modules with good grades, in the third module I took two exams with a high temperature - I did not pass. In the fourth module, I received another failure, and more than half of the students failed this exam, since the examiner was not quite adequate, it was just a “blockage”. During the academic year, he did not miss a single lecture, handed over all the deadlines on time, there was no personal life. It's doubly...
The strongest university, in the field of economics for sure. All topics are studied in depth, almost half of the subjects from the 3rd year are taught in English by top teachers. An excellent system of elective courses, that is, in the 3rd and 4th courses, you choose most of the subjects from the area of \u200b\u200byour direction that interests you the most. Learning is quite difficult, but you quickly get involved in the process. As for discounts: if you don’t do much, then you certainly won’t get into the top rating and you won’t get the coveted ...
To be honest, I don’t know who writes strange negative reviews about the Higher School of Economics. In my opinion, this is the strongest university in Russia. Before HSE, I studied at Moscow State University. And I can say that education is weaker at Moscow State University. HSE is also much more liberal than Moscow State University in all respects. Yes, and it is interesting to study here: the teachers are interesting, smart, intellectually gifted. NRU HSE is the best university in Russia! And there is no doubt about it! Hooray!
Hi all! I studied at one of the humanitarian faculties of the National Research University Higher School of Economics in the magistracy. I can say that education is worth it. Better than, say, at Moscow State University (I graduated from Moscow State University). Knowledge is not only solid, but of high quality. Moreover, this information is relevant to the time and place, and not old, obsolete. At Moscow State University, for example, we were not really taught what a source is. But it is so important to know this for a professional humanist who is engaged in research activities. I am very glad...
The HSE Faculty of Law is a swamp where everything is bought. Only a few teachers are worthy of teaching students.
And I want to write about protection. It's a shame! Eternally drunk, screaming, women who cannot speak normally, obviously with a dubious past. Please note, after 20.00 often in a state of intoxication. My opinion is that another contingent should guard the Higher School of Economics, because the first people we see when we come to the institute are guards and the first impression leaves much to be desired.
Story
Creation
The idea of creating the Higher School of Economics - a European-style economic school - 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 Ananyin, Rustem Nureyev - after several attempts to introduce the basics 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 how to work with statistics and economic models, and giving them a common language with the world community of professional economists.
The first real attempt to create a HSE can be considered alternative departments of economic theory, organized at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1989-1990) and at the physics and history departments of Moscow State University (1990-1991). Students could choose between courses taught by young teachers and recent graduates of the economics faculty, and Marxist-Leninist political economy. Many of those who later formed the backbone of the SU-HSE went through the school of these departments. The methodology for teaching economic theory in a country with a transitional economy was also worked out there. Starting 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 institutions and Moscow State University - a course on the key problems of economic theory, and Grigory Kantorovich updated their knowledge of mathematics. Since 1993, HSE lecturers have been 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 HSE within the framework of a grant from the European Union.
The SU-HSE principle from the very first day of its existence has been a combination of rigorous, even brutal preparation with discussion and solution of the burning 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, also as well as from Moscow State University: Lev Lyubimov, Igor Lipsits, Rustem Nureyev, Oleg Ananin, Leonid Grebnev.

The Higher School of Economics is a research university that carries out its mission through scientific, educational, design, expert-analytical and socio-cultural 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 programs and double diplomas with the world's leading universities.
Until 2014, the HSE had about 40 faculties and departments. In the spring of 2014, structural reforms were launched: “large” faculties (“megafaculties”) were created at the university. These are analogues of institutes (higher schools) that make up many universities in the world, and recently some of Russian universities.
In fact, we are not talking about the consolidation of existing faculties and departments (departments were 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, manage educational ones.
"Big" HSE faculties
- 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.
University of London Diploma 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 project that is unique for Russian education. Training in International Institute of Economics and Finance ( ICEF) is held entirely in English according to programs approved by HSE British partners. ICEF bachelor's graduates receive two diplomas - from the Higher School of Economics and the University of London. ICEF graduates receive a diploma from the Higher School of Economics and an official certificate letter from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Education at ICEF is paid.
Additional and business education
Already in the first years of work at the Higher School of Economics, educational programs were opened for adults who need to improve their skills, undergo professional retraining or receive a second higher education in management, finance, marketing, personnel management, accounting. In 1999, the first admission to the MBA (Master of Business Administration) program was held. Later, programs appeared in business informatics, practical psychology, corporate governance, and even - with the addition of the State Academy of Investment Specialists (GASIS) to the HSE - in the field of construction and public utilities. HSE departments that offer 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 companies.
Today, at the Higher School of Economics, you can get additional professional education under the following programs:
- training
- professional retraining
- MBA (Master of Business Administration)
- EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration)
- DBA (Doctor of Business Administration)
- Advanced Master in International Business
- Dual 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 NRU HSE. The unofficial name - the result of student folk art - "Tower".
This university is in 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 Higher School of Economics
The university operates on a budgetary and commercial basis: the institution receives state 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 the HSE and the very quality of education.
There are 128 research centers, 36 scientific and design laboratories, 32 international laboratories under the guidance of foreign researchers on the basis of the Higher School of Economics. The HSE conducts the most intensive international activity among metropolitan universities, cooperates with 298 foreign partners, 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 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 with 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 trains the best lawyers of Russian modernity. 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. They invite specialists from government agencies, practicing lawyers, etc.
Faculty of Humanities. This faculty cannot be called profile for the HSE, experts also note that the humanities are trained here with the understanding that their specialization is a priori inferior to the affairs of computer scientists or economists. But the faculty has the strongest school of foreign languages. Also, most of the 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 of foreign languages.
Faculty of Communications, Media and Design. This faculty is the patrimony of female students, there are even fewer males here than in the Pedagogical Institute. Apparently, the laurels of Anna Wintour or Carrie Bradshaw haunt the fair sex more. 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 about economics and statistics at the HSE as a field of study sound rather ambiguous. Allegedly, the academic load among students is on the verge of unbearable. But the cooperation with the world's transnational corporations and universities, which is available at this faculty, gives students access to unique knowledge and the possibility of unlimited development and successful employment anywhere in the world. The future Henry Fords and Adam Smiths are produced here. Let's lower our eyes to the fact that the notorious S. Mavrodi successfully unlearned 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 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 such a grandiose brainchild. 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 load on the faculty is impressive. From the very first day of school, all training is conducted in English. Budget places only for the winners of the All-Russian Olympiad. Enthusiastic reviews about international relations from the HSE only fuel the interest of the public in this university. Students spend a third of the 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 huge, even the tuition fee of 600 thousand rubles a 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 faculty, and enter the master’s program under a double degree program. HSE has 40 such programs.
Features of studying at the HSE
There are a large number of educational features at the Higher School of Economics. Student reviews note that studying at this university is completely different from standard education in our country. But this is easy to explain - the university eagerly absorbs the experience of successful world educational institutions. And if you pay attention to the success of HSE graduates, then other national universities would also do well to expand their views on teaching and not turn away from successful world experience.
The Higher School of Economics became one of the first national universities that switched to the 4+2 study program (bachelor's, master's). The academic year is divided not into semesters, but into modules, there are four of them, at the end of each student there is an assessment. The sum of the module grades determines the annual grade.
The grading system is ten-point, in the European manner.
The orientation towards success is visible in the tactics of building the educational process. Students are immediately prepared to be confident, competitive and highly motivated. The university has a rating system. HSE students' comments about these very ratings are full of diabolical emoticons, but even dissatisfied, tired students admit that nothing motivates as much as this very rating risk.
So what's the deal? Yes, everything is simple. Contractors with a high rating receive discounts or are transferred to the budget. State employees with a high rating keep their scholarships, those with an average rating lose their scholarships, and those with a low rating are transferred to a contract. This encourages students to be active, learn non-stop, 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
Only the opinion of children can be more subjective than the opinions of students. Often, HSE student reviews are based on personal success or failure in the learning process. But quite a few young people dare to state 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 the HSE. This is noted by most students. Whether the reason is the intensive financing of the activities of the university by sponsors, or loyalty to the principles of "European transparency", but students agree that getting a diploma only with knowledge is very real here.
The quality of knowledge, lectures and teacher training varies across faculties. If we analyze the reviews about the HSE in Moscow, then students agree that the quality of teaching in the humanities and political science is a little behind.
Not a single review describes the quality of education as eloquently as the employment statistics for the profile after graduation from this university: 94% of graduates found a suitable job. This is despite the fact that 48% warmed up a warm corporate place even before receiving a diploma. Leading companies send their recruits to prestigious universities to look for valuable talent while they are still on the student bench.
What are the negative aspects of studying at the HSE most often indicated by students in their reviews?
Most of all, students complain about the workload and the need to gain knowledge in a permanently competitive environment. It is endless to talk about whether it is possible to push students who were children yesterday with their foreheads together. But the leadership of the HSE has made a choice and is not going to cancel the rating system.
Also, students are indignant about the Anti-Plagiarism system. There is a university program that checks every work. In the text, only 20% of quoting with an exact indication of the source is allowed. Everything else is the author's personal judgments, conclusions, etc. Naturally, this greatly increases the time for preparing essays and term papers for students.
Dormitories of the Higher School of Economics
The HSE buildings are scattered around the city, as are the dormitories. Today, the Higher School of Economics has 9 dormitories. Reviews about HSE dormitories are mostly positive, but utterly ironic. All the humor lies in the fact that they are located in the Moscow region, and the road from the place of residence to the educational building is an inexhaustible ground for student jokes. If we discard this inconvenience, then the rest of the HSE dormitories are made “for people”. They are apartment type, they have all the amenities. In Moscow, it is cheaper and closer, but it is only suitable for residents who are unpretentious in terms of comfort.
All dormitories have free wireless Internet access at any time of the day.
The atmosphere in the hostel is upbeat, productive and motivating. The HSE did an elementary and ingenious thing, they paid tribute to the desire of every person for everyday comfort. They made modern classrooms and hostels for students, and they do not care how to accumulate water in basins, wash their hair over the sink, etc. But they care about acquiring knowledge and self-development.
Master's at HSE: student reviews, master's programs
Documents are accepted electronically. After the approval of the electronic application, the originals can be brought to the selection committee or sent by mail.
All applicants pass a competition in the form of entrance exams (most often economics + English + mathematics, but disciplines vary depending on the faculty).
The order for enrollment is issued somewhere in the middle of 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 degrees and get a unique learning experience at the HSE. Today, the HSE cooperates with the Humboldt Universities in Berlin, the 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.
Today the Higher School of Economics is:
- 4 campuses (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Perm)
- 7,000 teachers and researchers
- 37,200 full-time students
- 72,400 graduates of basic educational programs
