National Research University Higher School of Economics
The Higher School of Economics was officially established in 1992. Initially, it offered only master’s degrees. HSE aimed at renewing the training of the Russian business community in economics. In 1995, HSE was awarded the University status and, in addition to economics, began to teach sociology, management and law. By this time, HSE had established the following principles: to respond to the requirements of world economy; to encourage interdisciplinary interaction; to foster direct links between teaching and work experience; to achieve applied research results; to share experience with the Russian academic community.
In 2009, HSE became the National research university specializing in social sciences and the humanities. The following year, it became an autonomous educational institution and was renamed into the National Research University - Higher School of Economics (HSE).
In 2011 the Moscow State University of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM), the Management Training Centre, and the Academy of Continuing Professional Education (GASIS) joined HSE. Today the University continues to expand into such areas as mathematics, philosophy, political studies and design.
One of the main features of the University is the interdisciplinary approach to education (economists are also taught the basics of law, politics, philosophy, etc.). Another trend is the expansion of students’ choice of additional subjects.
