53%

of full-time university teachers have several jobs.

In recent years, secondary employment of university teachers has gradually fallen; as recently as 2010, the figure was 69%.

These data were collected during a survey of teachers at institutions of higher education that was carried out as part of a Monitoring of Education Markets and Organizations study conducted by HSE in collaboration the Levada Centre in 2014. The results of the study will be published in an informational newsletter in 2015.

Hari the Robot Recommends

We created Hari the robot and named him after Hari Seldon, a character who can predict the future in the works of science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. He is based on a machine-learning model that selects news based on the behavioural metrics of HSE website users.

Don’t worry — we don’t collect any personal data for this.

Visitors will have the opportunity to speak with students and representatives of educational programmes, plan their admission process, and immerse themselves in the HSE University atmosphere for a day.
