Story
Creation
The idea of creating the Higher School of Economics - an economic school of the European model - was born at the turn of 1980-1990, when it became clear that the existing system of planned economic education in the country did 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, and giving them a common language with the global community of professional economists.
The first real attempt to create HSE can be considered alternative departments of economic theory, organized at MIPT (1989-1990) and at the physics and history faculties 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 brutal preparation with discussion and solution of pressing problems of the 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.

The “megafaculties” included departments, their varieties - schools, as well as specialized research centers and units of additional education.
"Large" faculties, consisting of departments, administer education.

I want to warn applicants and their parents! I entered MIEM HSE last year at a discount. I passed the first two modules with good grades; in the third module I took two exams with a high temperature and failed. In the fourth module, I received another failure, and more than half of the students failed this exam, since the examiner was not entirely adequate, it was just a “failure”. During the academic year, I did not miss a single lecture, passed all deadlines on time, and had no personal life. This is doubly...
The strongest university in the field of economics for sure. All topics are studied in great depth; almost half of the subjects from the 3rd year are taught in English by top teachers. An excellent system of elective courses, that is, in the 3rd and 4th years you choose most of the subjects from the area of your field that interests you most. It’s quite difficult to learn, but you quickly get involved in the process. As for discounts: if you don’t do much, you certainly won’t get to the top of the rankings and won’t get the coveted...
Honestly, I don’t know who writes strange negative reviews about the Higher School of Economics. In my opinion, this is the strongest university in Russia. Before HSE, I studied at Moscow State University. And I can say that at Moscow State University the education is weaker. HSE is also much more liberal than Moscow State University in all respects. And it’s interesting to study here: the teachers are interesting, smart, and intellectually gifted. HSE University is the best university in Russia! And there is no doubt about it! Hooray!
Hi all! I studied at one of the humanities faculties of the National Research University Higher School of Economics in the master's program. I can say that the education there is worthwhile. Better than, say, Moscow State University (I graduated from Moscow State University). The knowledge is not just solid, but high-quality. Moreover, this is information that is relevant to the time and place, and not old, outdated information. At Moscow State University, for example, we were not really taught what a source is. But this is so important for a professional humanist who is engaged in research to know. I am very glad...
The Faculty of Law of the National Research University Higher School of Economics is a swamp where everything is bought. Only a few teachers are worthy of teaching students.
And I want to write about security. It's a shame! Always drunk, screaming, women who cannot speak normally, obviously with a dubious past. Please note that after 20.00 people are often drunk. My opinion is that another contingent should guard the Higher School of Economics because the first people we see when we come to the institute are guards and the first impression leaves much to be desired.
