• Participate in designing assessment tasks for courses and help instructors evaluate student performance;
• Prepare lessons in various formats, dispatch materials, and assign independent work for students.

Contact the local administrator at your faculty.

• Ensuring the effectiveness of the educational process;

• Identifying the most talented and capable students and graduate students and engaging them in teaching activities;

• Reducing the teaching load on instructors and freeing up their time for research;

• Providing opportunities for students and graduate students of the University to engage in project activities or undergo teaching internships;

• Creating and testing innovative methodologies in the University's educational process.

An instructor can submit a request to invite a teaching assistant twice a year via their MyHSE Services Account.

The review and approval of applications for inviting teaching assistants is carried out by a special faculty commission where the instructor works.

Students selected as teaching assistants can provide services either for a fee (in which case a contract is signed with them) or on a non-monetary basis (in this case, students will be credited with ECTS points for internship or project work).

Applications are sent by the heads of the Teaching Assistants during the application acceptance period through the MyHSE Services Account, and the deadline for application submission is set by the faculty.

When submitting an application, it is important to note:

• You can currently submit applications for first-year master's and doctoral students, but will only be able to finally approve these applications after the issuance of the enrollment order (for master's students – at the end of August, for doctoral students – in November).

• First-year doctoral students are not allowed to be engaged as teaching assistants during the first module.

Subsequent decisions regarding the recruitment, approval of teaching assistants, and the process of their formalisation are made at the faculty (of the instructor).

• assist in the provision of educational programmes to special-category students;
• help with social adaption of special-category students;
• if necessary, liaise on the student's behalf with lecturers and the academic office;
• provide essential psychological support.

Please contact the study office of your educational programme.

The "Digital Assistant" project is being implemented with the aim of assisting the organisation of the educational process using modern digital technologies and in a remote format.

It is designed to:

• assist teachers in transitioning to new remote learning formats and address arising issues;
• conduct consultations, record screencast instructions for using online learning platforms;
• install necessary apps and services on the teacher's personal computer or smartphone.

To become a Faculty Digital Assistant, please contact the responsible person at the faculty.
