HSE is one of the leading and largest universities in Russia. University profile - socio-economic, humanitarian sciences as well as mathematics and computer science. The university has more than twenty faculties and departments, there are military department. In 2012, the Moscow state institute electronics and mathematics and two additional institutions vocational education - The educational center leadership training and State Academy investment professionals.

HSE graduates also have the opportunity to receive diplomas from the best European universities. As part of international activities the university has more than 130 international partners. Foreign languages ​​are taught in large volume in all faculties, and in some faculties, teaching is conducted at English language.

graduate School economy (in the student community - "Higher School") is distinguished by openness and transparency admission campaign and financial activities. The indicator of the quality of training at the Higher School of Economics is the employment of graduates. According to a study of career development of graduates, conducted six months after graduation, 80% of graduates work in their specialty, and 20% continue their education in a master's or graduate school. According to independent ratings, HSE ranks first in Russia in terms of graduate salaries. Public ratings of students are compiled - both current and accumulated over the entire period of study. Based on current rankings, discounts of up to 70% of the cost of payment for students studying at contractual basis and a scholarship is awarded to students studying on a budgetary basis. The final rankings are the basis for selection to the next level of study programs and a guide for potential employers.

Of course, for admission to such a university, both on a paid basis and on budget department knowledge gained in school is not enough. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of training, it is necessary to study with an experienced teacher additionally. The "USE - Center" together with the teachers of the Higher School of Economics prepare schoolchildren for the exam every year.

The HSE Internet School is a great opportunity for students from other cities to study effectively, in some cases better than full-time students, because the remote method fosters independence. To enter a university through the Olympiad is in a sense easier than through the Unified State Examination, because you need to prepare for only one subject. But the problem of preparing an applicant is that there is no literature that would teach how to solve problems in economics. The main objective of the course is to teach how to solve quantitative and qualitative problems in order to prepare for Olympiads in Economics.

Student of the course "Final essay and literature"

I want to thank you for helping all of us (and me personally) throughout the year. I was with you from the final essay (for which I received 5 out of 5) to the exam itself. I will definitely write a letter :) You really helped me a lot. Thanks to you, I fell in love with many foreign writers, I watched several films (according to your recommendations), which opened my eyes to many things, and, of course, for giving us so much interesting information from all areas of culture.

Even without preparing for the Olympics separately, I was able to write The highest standard in journalism by 86 points, citing in the work some material that was given to us by you. Even though I didn’t have 4 points to win the prize, I’m still glad that in the 11th grade I was able to broaden my horizons. Thank you for your hard work!

About 50% of those who entered the HSE Faculty of Law are, as a rule, winners of Olympiads who did not waste time on other subjects, but prepared aimingly and successfully. The subject "Law" as well as economics, "branded" HSE subjects. We give knowledge of the discipline in an expanded form, in a sense, this is also the way to growing up and getting to know life, because knowledge from this area finds its application at every step, from the implementation and protection of consumer rights to constitutional rights.

Valeria Ismailova

Student of the course "Oriental Studies"

I did not make a mistake in choosing a school and have never regretted it. The first thing I noticed was the learning format. After each topic, a test was offered, with which you could test your knowledge, as well as practical work, which was compiled in the format of the Olympiad. From the very first lessons, I became extremely interested in studying here. Every time you learn new topic I was completely immersed in it. I am extremely glad that I became a student of the Internet School of Oriental Studies. Thanks to the classes at the Internet School, I acquired many useful skills: I learned how to properly allocate time, work with complex texts, delved into reading serious literature, and, of course, became more disciplined.

I entered HSE myself as an Olympiad winner. It’s nice to know in April that you have entered, and for applicants this is an attractive option. In our subject, it is important to develop oriental erudition, to give an understanding of philosophy, culture, and much depends on the student himself, who is motivated and ready to approach solving problems in a systematic and original way, for example: to find Confucian themes in the poems of Korean authors, based on written sources. In other words, look between the lines. We have very interesting control - for example, a student can complete it in the form of a letter from a German colonel from Japan in the early twentieth century, where the student describes the features of culture, mythology or life.
