HSE University Life

Electives are open to HSE students as well as students of other Moscow universities and people who have a general interest in the subject.

The Erasmus+ project isn’t limited just to student exchanges between partner universities - teachers and university administration can also take part in this academic mobility. In April 2018, Italian colleagues from Viterbo University (Italy) came to HSE Nizhny Novgorod, and a couple of months later, a large group of HSE lecturers and administrative staff from Nizhny Novgorod visited Italy in return.

Dmitry Bosnak, Lecturer at the Faculty of Humanities at HSE Nizhny Novgorod, recently spoke at TEDxYouth@KulibinPark. For many students, such events are a great opportunity to improve their English.

Competitions in information security were organized at HSE by the student group, HSE InfoSec, with the support of FBK CyberSecurity and the Student Initiative Support Centre. They were run in CTF format.

Waste Sorting at HSE University

HSE provides financial assistance to students who move out of the student dormitories and rent an apartment. This year, the competition for such allowances was particularly stiff.

On July 8, amendments to Russian migration legislation regulating the registration of foreign citizens coming to the Russian Federation came into effect. They concern, in particular, HSE’s international employees and students. The most important change: you now must be registered at the place where you actually live.

HSE has received several questions from students who participated in the competition for financial assistance for rental appartments. Here, we answer the main questions and explain the situation.

This August, the Shukhov Lab is organising an expedition to Murmansk as a part of the long-term research project ‘New cities and settlements in the North of Russia’.

Geography of HSE University provides ample opportunities to experience and learn about nearly half of the country, and without understanding each of the campuses with their unique features there is no way to fully understand the idea of HSE on the whole. Last year The HSE Look began a series of articles focusing in-depth on each campus, starting with HSE St. Petersburg, university’s 2nd largest campus, and we would like to continue the series with devoting the summer issue to HSE Nizhniy Novgorod.

On June 22, several HSE lecturers and staff members were awarded the status of Tenured Professor at a meeting of HSE Academic Council. Sixteen HSE staff members became Distinguished Professors at the Higher School of Economics for the first time.

The Russia-Uruguay match was shown on a big screen in the media courtyard, offering teachers, staff, and students at HSE the chance to cheer on their chosen side. Exchange students from other countries also joined in. Although the match was somewhat disappointing, the atmosphere in the media courtyard was celebratory and positive. Check out some highlights in the photo report from the event.
