International Programme in Economics and Finance

Dmitry Filippov, who is in his fourth year of BSc Economics and Finance, was excused from classes in the campus in Pokrovsky Boulevard for a period of three months. The reason was his exchange studies with Shanghai University under the three-month exchange programme between schools in Russia and China. Here’s Dmitry’s impressions and takeaways from his experience of international communication.

What hurdles do our graduating students face? Some questions that seem to concern them the most are, “Do I have the right skills and enough knowledge? What will my workplace tasks really be like? Will I be able to put theory into practice and live up to expectations my employer has for me?” To help the students tackle their pre-graduation worries already now in the middle of their fourth year, ICEF offers a series of workshops dedicated to job readiness and hosted by its faculty and former students.

On November 22, 2024, the International Laboratory of Financial Economics (LFE, ICEF HSE) hosted the 13^th International Moscow Finance Conference, bringing together researchers and experts from various countries to discuss current issues in financial economics. In his welcoming speech, Vladimir Sokolov, Head of the Laboratory, emphasised the significance of financial market research for the global economy.
