The section is a "hot line" for admission to the HSE. To ask a question, use the "Ask a question" link and state its essence. The question will be sent to the selection committee, which will prepare an answer to it in a short time.

I submitted copies of the documents to participate in the ranking. By August 1, I need to submit the original and consent to enrollment.
The fact is that I did not have time to expell from the university A. I wanted to expell on July 29, but the dean's office

Good afternoon, please tell me, if all the places in the course were taken by Olympiads, is there a chance that the number of places will be increased at the expense of HSE funds, and if they increase, then how many places will possibly be added?

Good afternoon! Yes, there is such a possibility. Up to 25% of the admission targets approved by the Higher School of Economics for the educational program will be allocated at the expense of the Higher School of Economics.

24.07.19 ale-> Alexey Sobolevsky

Good afternoon!
If not difficult, answer all the same to this question asked by another "opponent"
"Please tell me one thing about the contract for training "in the field at the expense of the HSE." If such an agreement is terminated at the initiative of the student (he himself decided not to study anymore for any reason), then does the student have an obligation to reimburse the HSE for all expenses that were made by the HSE from the moment of enrollment until the date of departure (the cost of paid education)?If you need to reimburse, is an incomplete year considered a full year?

Clause 6.9 of the contract speaks of exactly this case, as I understand it? Quote - "6.9. The student has the right to refuse to fulfill the Agreement, subject to payment to the Contractor of the expenses actually incurred by him, related to the fulfillment of obligations under the Agreement."

And also the second related question - if the contract is terminated, on the contrary, at the initiative of the HSE (for example, for the student's poor progress), does this already former student have an obligation to pay the costs of the HSE from the moment of enrollment to the moment of expulsion?

And the third question:) Is it necessary to confirm the retention of the opportunity to study at the expense of HSE with the study rating? With a low rating, can they transfer to "regular" paid education, and if they disagree, switch to it?

Good afternoon!
Education “at the expense of HSE” (only from a formal point of view) means studying in a “commercial” place - the same legal status as for students who pay for education at their own expense.

The only difference is who bears the cost of tuition. When a student is educated “at the expense of the NRU HSE”, the costs are borne by the NRU HSE on its own. This is the basic financial condition for a student to enter the university “at the expense of HSE funds”. However, this condition may change under certain conditions.


Clause 4.4 of the agreement states that “In the event of a violation by the Student of obligations for the conscientious development of the Educational Program, which led to the emergence of grounds for providing the Student with an IEP (individual curriculum), as well as in the event that a disciplinary sanction is applied to the Student in the form of a reprimand, the Contractor terminates making expenses corresponding to the Student's tuition fee under the Agreement. In this case, from the moment the grounds arise for providing the Student with an IEP / the date of issuance of an order to apply a disciplinary sanction to the Student in the form of a reprimand, the obligation to pay for the educational services provided by the Contractor under the Agreement shall be borne by the Student in the manner and on the conditions specified in clauses 4.6.-4.11. Agreement.". Further in the text of the agreement, the conditions for paying for tuition at the expense of the student are indicated.
Thus, when answering the question in which cases a student reimburses HSE for actually incurred tuition costs, it is important to understand what financial terms of the contract are in force at the time of the student's expulsion.
If a student is expelled (no matter for what reason: on the initiative of the student or on the initiative of the university) during the period when the terms of the agreement on tuition fees at the expense of HSE funds are in effect, then the student does not reimburse HSE for the cost of educational services before the student's graduation date.
If the student is expelled during the period when the terms of the agreement on tuition fees at the expense of the student are in effect (no matter for what reason), then HSE University will withhold the cost of actually rendered services for the period from the date when the grounds arose for providing the student with an IEP or applying to to the student a disciplinary sanction in the form of a reprimand, before the date of expulsion of the student. Since the student pays for tuition in advance, the Higher School of Economics will return to the student a part of the cost of educational services that were not provided to the student due to his expulsion.

Hello Alexey Alexandrovich, the entrant is given a 70% discount on points. When and how can this be documented. Thank you.

Good afternoon!
Come to the selection committee - when drawing up the contract, the discount will be provided automatically as part of the contract.

Good afternoon! Please explain the mechanism of admission to the 1st and 2nd waves: if I go exactly to some specialty in the 1st wave, but I want to go to another one, where there is a chance to get into the second, how big is the risk of failing in the end with the specialty where Am I definitely going through? And at what point will it be necessary to bring the original in TIME, how is it even possible that an applicant with lower scores can enter and take the place of an applicant with higher ones?

Hello, HSE has a Green Wave admission system. On July 29, the lists of the Green Wave are expected: there are all applicants who have a guaranteed right to be enrolled in both the 1st and 2nd wave. Therefore, if you see yourself on the green wave lists, you can bring documents both before the deadline for accepting documents at the first stage of enrollment (until August 1, 18:00), and before the end of the second (until August 6, 18:00) - this will not be have meaning. There is also a waiting list - this is a list of students who are more likely to be enrolled, but at the time of the release of the Green Wave, the university cannot give them such a guarantee: they will be able to enroll if they bring fewer consents for enrollment than budget places. These applicants should expect a call, as at any time they can also be invited to apply for a budget place.

14.07.19 Maria Naumenko-> Alexey Sobolevsky

Good afternoon! Tell me, please, the composition of the portfolio for admission to the master's program "Project Management" includes an essay based on the materials of the final qualifying work. Are there any requirements for the content, or is there an example of the format in which an essay is required?

Good afternoon!

For such subtleties, it would be best to get advice from the academic supervisor of the program https://www.hse.ru/org/persons/181807 or from the program manager https://www.hse.ru/org/persons/65651193
They will be able to fully answer all your questions.

In 2009, a competition was held in Russia among universities that claim to be awarded the title of "national research university". The HSE was one of the few winners and the only university among 14 Russian National Research Universities with a socio-economic profile. It should be noted that research activities are carried out in such areas as the history of economic doctrines, economic theory, instrumental and mathematical methods in economics, macroeconomics, law, sociology, psychology, education, public administration, political research and information sciences.

Important research projects have been launched jointly with leading universities: Peking University, Stanford University, Sorbonne, Shanghai University. The university has its own NRU, the Science Foundation and the Center for Fundamental Research, various research centers, as well as laboratories.

The very first design and training laboratory was established in the spring of 2009 in the Nizhny Novgorod branch, and today more than 10 such laboratories and groups operate at the Higher School of Economics. There are currently twenty research institutes as well as 11 research centers.

Summing up, we can conclude that the Higher School of Economics is undoubtedly one of the most popular universities in Russia. Students from various cities and countries study at this university. Training is conducted in a wide range of specialties. The leading places in various rankings, as well as the activities of the university, testify to the huge popularity and demand for the Higher School of Economics.

The HSE was created as an economic university, so the first HSE faculties trained mainly economists, managers and sociologists. But modern socio-economic education is based on interdisciplinarity. Not only educational, but also research discoveries and breakthroughs occur at the intersection of various disciplines and sciences. On interaction economic, engineering and humanitarian schools are based on models of such world famous universities as MIT and Caltech. Vyshka followed the same path.

Lawyers and philosophers appeared at the university a long time ago. A little later, the HSE opened a historical direction of study. Students- historians receive a broad humanitarian education, which allows them to work not only in their specialty, but also in analytical organizations that study social development. In 2014, the HSE also began teaching art history. BUT orientalists from HSE (the university trains sinologists, Japanese scholars, Arabists, and Korean scholars) can be considered historians, culturologists, philosophers, and political scientists at the same time.

After the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics joined the HSE, future specialists in electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer security and space technologies. With the participation of the Yandex company, the Faculty of Computer Science was opened at the university. His students study software engineering, data analysis and problems artificial intelligence, as well as solve fundamentally new research problems - in the field big data and information retrieval.

At the intersection of mathematics and the humanities, the direction " Fundamental and Applied Linguistics". At the same time, the university teaches classical philology. Knowledge of computer technology will be useful in the future journalists- at HSE they will be taught all the intricacies of the production and operation of digital media. And the whole educational process in graphic, interior, web and other designers Vyshka is "tied" to design activities under the guidance of the "stars" of the Russian design industry.

A kind of spatial “design” is being carried out by the Higher School of Urban Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. So far, this is the only research and educational center in Russia that trains specialists in the field of spatial development of cities and regions and also conducts fundamental and applied urban research.

In 2019, the HSE joined in 16 subject and 3 industry QS rankings. In the top 100 HSE is represented by 3 subjects: "Sociology", "Politics and International Relations", "Economics and Econometrics" and the branch "Social sciences and management". In the same subjects, the HSE is the undisputed leader among Russian universities.

The tower entered top 100 in sociology and mathematics of the Shanghai ranking, has become a leader among Russian universities in economics, political sciences and management, and is also included in the top 75 best universities in the world in sociology, where it is the only Russian representative.
