HSE Summer University programme is a unique opportunity for students from different countries to increase their knowledge of various subjects. The programme has been held at HSE Moscow three times and is already starting to become a summer tradition. This year, one week of the Summer University programme was held at HSE Nizhny Novgorod for the first time.

June 20^th marked the start of HSE’s third Summer University. This year’s programme saw the participation of students from 25 different countries.

Like any major academic institution, the Higher School of Economics offers teaching in both traditional educational programmes and various shorter formats. The Summer University which began two years ago and gives students from other universities the chance to attend additional courses during the summer vacation, falls into the second category. It provides opportunities to study with particular professors and helps students decide how to pursue their academic interests in the future.

Since 2013, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has cooperated with HSE. This year, a record number of scholarship places will be available for German students to study in HSE short-term programmes through the Go East initiative.

Head of HSE Department for Educational Innovations and Short International Programs Oksana Chernenko was invited to the 2nd QS Summer School Summit as the speaker at one of the five sessions, which was devoted to ensuring harmony between academic, institutional and commercial goals and HSE Summer University was a representative case of these three goals’ effective unity.

On August 15, the second HSE Summer University drew to a close. The number of participants in this year's programmer nearly tripled with 103 students coming from 15 countries. This included both independent students as well at five organized groups from Seoul National University, Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Miami University, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.

From July 27 to August 1, fifteen international students from the USA, China, Germany, Switzerland and Norway visited HSE – St.Petersburg as part of HSE Summer University programme.

From July 4 to 25, the HSE Summer University welcomed thirty Korean students from the Seoul National University who had come to study Russian and learn more about modern life in Russia as part of SNU’s programme in Moscow.
