Higher School of Economics

HSE University has placed 5th in the annual ranking of the best Russian universities compiled by the RAEX agency (RAEX Analytics). The university also came in third in terms of demand for graduates.

Organised by the the Department of Fundamental Mathematics and the Laboratory of Topological Methods in Dynamics, the first international student conference, Mathematical Spring 2019, took place at the Higher School of Economics campus in Nizhny Novgorod over the May holidays.
 

Over the last five years, Russian universities have demonstrated a notable uptick in entries into the Top 500 of the QS institutional ranking, increasing their presence in the global QS ranking from 9 institutions to 16. In large part this has been the result of universities participating in the Russian Academic Excellence Project (Project 5-100).

As part of an Erasmus Plus project, the Faculty of Economics hosted a series of lectures and a master class by professors from the partner University of Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy).

One-year programme of Russian as a foreign language has been in operation at HSE – Nizhny Novgorod since October 2017. International students, who are enrolled in it, do not only study theory and practice of Russian but are also involved in extra-curricular activities.   Ksenia Grushko and Irina Makarova are the bright teachers who inspire  participants of their course to master the language and take part in different academic events  which can help young people  in their studies  and may broaden understanding of Russia, its literature and culture.  

On May 24, Alexey Savvateev, the popular Russian mathematician, economist, and public figure visited the Higher School of Economics in Nizhny Novgorod.
