Story

Creation

The idea of ​​creating the Higher School of Economics - an economic school of the European standard - was born at the turn of 1980-1990, when it became clear that the existing system of planned economic education in the country does not meet the requirements of the new political and economic situation. Then a group of teachers from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University - Evgeny Yasin, Yaroslav Kuzminov, Revold Entov, Oleg Ananin, Rustem Nureyev - after several attempts to introduce the foundations of market economic theory into the curricula of existing universities, realized the need to build a new economic school, which from the very beginning would be based on the principles world economic science. This meant providing students with tools for analyzing and forecasting real processes, teaching them to work with statistics and economic models, giving them mutual language with the global community of professional economists.

Alternative departments can be considered the first real attempt to create HSE economic theory, organized at MIPT (1989-1990) and at the physics and history departments of Moscow State University (1990-1991). Students could choose between courses taught by young teachers and recent graduates of the Faculty of Economics, and Marxist-Leninist political economy. Many of those who later formed the backbone of the State University-Higher School of Economics went through the school of these departments. There, the methodology for teaching economic theory in a country with a transition economy was worked out. The start of a new business was facilitated by the support of the Soros Foundation, which provided a one-year grant in 1989.

early years

The starting period was marked by intensive “teacher training”: Revold Entov taught the entire team of teachers - mostly former employees of academic institutes and Moscow State University - a course on key problems of economic theory, and Grigory Kantorovich updated their knowledge of mathematics. Since 1993, HSE teachers have regularly trained at leading European universities, primarily at the University of Rotterdam, whose Faculty of Economics, the largest in Europe, was a partner in the creation of the State University-Higher School of Economics within the framework of a grant from the European Union.

The principle of the SU-HSE from the first day of its existence is a combination of strict, even cruel preparation with discussion and solution of pressing problems Russian economy. Leading economists who worked in the government became HSE professors: Evgeny Yasin, Alexander Shokhin, Leonid Vasiliev, Yakov Urinson, Vladimir Kossov, Evgeny Gavrilenkov, Mikhail Kopeikin, as well as scientists who came to the HSE from institutes of the Academy of Sciences and other research centers, as well as well as from Moscow State University: Lev Lyubimov, Igor Lipsits, Rustem Nureyev, Oleg Ananyin, Leonid Grebnev.

Features of the educational process:

During your undergraduate studies, you can study more than 30 different disciplines. Their selection depends on the content of the specific educational program and the choice of the student himself. Curricula are drawn up in such a way that a student studies no more than five disciplines simultaneously (excluding foreign languages and physical education). In the first and second years, the classroom load and independent work make up approximately equal shares. In the third and fourth years, the student is offered more independent work.

The academic year is divided not into semesters, but into modules. There are 4 modules in a year - thus, the duration of a module is approximately equal to a school quarter. After each module there is a week of session in which, depending on the working curriculum tests and exams may be held, or nothing may be carried out - in the latter case, this week turns into an unofficial vacation.

HSE has more than 100 student organizations, thousands of events, and its own student government. Student life at the university is almost impossible to describe: too dynamic, diverse and different for everyone. The only way to know it is to become part of it.
