Higher School of Economics DPO. National Research University Higher School of Economics
Since autumn 2018, the center continuing education Faculty of Computer Science conducts training programs for teachers, researchers and students of other universities. So, in November last year, the teachers of the center held an intensive “Introduction to machine learning” for students of the University of Auvergne Clermont-Ferrand (France), and at the end of January, an intensive on machine learning for employees of Vyatka State University.
In early December, the first defense of diplomas of the professional retraining program "Modern data analysis, deep learning and applications" took place. Over the course of a year, students have gone from studying mathematics and programming to working with neural networks, computer vision and text analysis. We asked program graduates why they decided to study this field, what they learned during their studies, what final projects they chose and what they plan to do in the future.
HSE has many opportunities for students of various educational programs to learn about modern technologies learn how to work with data and how to program. This is a system of minors, and the Data Culture project, and advanced training programs. HSE students attending advanced training programs at the Center for Continuing Education spoke about why they decided to get additional qualifications while still studying at the university, and also how they plan to apply the acquired knowledge.
In 2011, HSE alumnus Irina Demina and her partners launched the Life Button startup, a round-the-clock help call service for the elderly and people with disabilities. handicapped. Over the past 2 years, Irina has completed three programs at the Center for Continuing Education at the Faculty of Computer Science at HSE and is going to study further. She told the HSE News Service about the business results that new knowledge helped achieve.
On April 23-26, a pilot course on the use of modern digital intellectual technologies data processing in the oil and gas industry. The developers and teachers of the program were experts from the Center for Continuing Education of the Faculty of Computer Science.
The ability to program is gradually turning into a skill that is useful to any professional. Ilya Shchurov, a mathematician and lecturer at the Center for Continuing Education at the Higher School of Economics, spoke about this in his lecture “Programming as New English” as part of the project “University, open to the city: Lectures by young scientists from HSE in cultural center ZIL.
April 20-22 at training center“Voronovo” hosted the third field seminar on machine learning, which is organized by the Department of Big Data and Information Retrieval of the Faculty of Computer Science. The purpose of these trips is to share up-to-date knowledge about various areas of machine learning, as well as to discuss joint data science projects between HSE faculty and students.
The full name of the educational institution is the National Research University " graduate School Economics”, abbreviated NRU HSE. Unofficial name - the result of a student folk art- "Tower".
This university is in the top 5 best universities country and is rightly considered the most progressive and prestigious among the metropolitan institutions.
General information about the Higher School of Economics
The university operates on a budgetary and commercial basis: the institution receives state subsidies, income from its own scientific projects, contract students and from third party sponsors and organizations. Such multi-channel injections into the university budget enable the institution's management to constantly improve the material and technical base of the HSE and the very quality of education.
There are 128 research centers, 36 scientific and design laboratories, 32 international laboratories under the guidance of foreign researchers on the basis of the Higher School of Economics. HSE conducts the most intensive program among Moscow universities international activities, cooperates with 298 foreign partners, has 41 double degree programs with foreign universities.
It is noteworthy that from the very day of its foundation, the institution has been headed by a permanent rector - Ya. I. Kuzminov.
“We study not for school, but for life” is the motto of the Higher School of Economics.
History of University
The Higher School of Economics cannot boast of a turbulent history. The first brick of this European-oriented university was not laid by Peter I himself, and its corridors were not trampled by Lomonosov or Nietzsche.
This is a relatively young, but very intensively developing, progressive university. If educational institutions were identified with cities, then HSE would be Singapore or Hong Kong.
So, the school was opened for students with November 17, 1992. Already in 2009, this university received the title of National Research University on a competitive basis.
Faculty of Law. We can safely say that this faculty trains the best lawyers of Russian modernity. This is not unreasonable, because the university itself was created not without the participation of the administrative and ruling elite. It is important to note that students are taught material with a huge emphasis on practice. Invite experts from public institutions, practicing lawyers, etc.
Faculty humanities . This faculty cannot be called a specialized one for the HSE, experts also note that humanities students are trained here with the understanding that their specialization is a priori inferior to computer scientists or economists. But the faculty has the strongest school foreign languages. Also, most of the lectures are public and optional for students of other specialties. Every student who wants to expand their horizons can come to cultural studies, philosophy and additional courses of foreign languages.
Faculty of Communications, Media and Design. This faculty is the patrimony of female students, there are even fewer males here than in the Pedagogical Institute. Apparently, the laurels of Anna Wintour or Carrie Bradshaw haunt the fair sex more. But seriously, the faculty trains not only journalists, but rather full-fledged specialists for media communications with an emphasis on working in the Internet environment, PR companies, and design institutions.
Faculty of Economic Sciences- the most specialized and largest faculty. Student reviews about economics and statistics at the HSE as a field of study sound rather ambiguous. Allegedly, the academic load among students is on the verge of unbearable. But the cooperation with the world's transnational corporations and universities, which is available at this faculty, gives students access to unique knowledge and the possibility of unlimited development and successful employment anywhere in the world. The future Henry Fords and Adam Smiths are produced here. Let's lower our eyes to the fact that the notorious S. Mavrodi successfully unlearned here.
International Institute of Economics and Finance (ICEF)
This faculty should definitely be discussed separately. This is a diamond among pearls. Unique educational institution in the CIS. To create it back in 1997, the Higher School of Economics and the London School of Economics (one of the top three economic education in the world) joined forces. And it turned out such a grandiose brainchild. Graduates of the institute receive both candy and ice cream - a diploma from the Higher School of Economics and a diploma from the London School of Economics.
The competition is merciless, and the load on the faculty is impressive. From the very first school day All training is conducted in English. Budget places only for winners All-Russian Olympiad. rave reviews about international relations HSE only fuels public interest in this university. Students spend a third of the course in London, absorbing all the practical knowledge that experience can give such education. The excitement around admission to this faculty is huge, even the tuition fee of 600 thousand rubles a year does not stop applicants.
If you don’t have the courage and finances to study at ICEF, you can get a bachelor’s degree at another faculty, and enter the master’s program under a double degree program. HSE has 40 such programs.
Features of studying at the HSE
Exists a large number of educational features at the Higher School of Economics. Student reviews note that studying at this university is completely different from standard education in our country. But this is easy to explain - the university eagerly absorbs the experience of successful world educational institutions. And if you pay attention to the success of HSE graduates, then other national universities would also do well to expand their views on teaching and not turn away from successful world experience.
The Higher School of Economics became one of the first national universities who switched to the 4 + 2 training program (bachelor's, master's). Academic year It is divided not into semesters, but into modules, there are four of them, at the end of each student is waiting for certification. The sum of the module grades determines the annual grade.
The grading system is ten-point, in the European manner.
In building tactics educational process a focus on success. Students are immediately prepared to be confident, competitive and highly motivated. The university has a rating system. HSE students' comments about these very ratings are full of devilish emoticons, but even dissatisfied, tired students admit that nothing motivates as much as this very rating risk.
So what's the deal? Yes, everything is simple. Contractors with a high rating receive discounts or are transferred to the budget. State employees with a high rating keep their scholarships, those with an average rating lose their scholarships, and those with a low rating are transferred to a contract. This encourages students to be active, learn non-stop, get used to the conditions of a highly competitive environment.
An item like " Physical Culture, the university does not. There is gym, various sections, courses, etc. Please develop, take care of your health and physical condition. But this is a matter of choice.
Positive feedback from students about HSE
Only the opinion of children can be more subjective than the opinions of students. Often, HSE student reviews are based on personal success or failure in the learning process. But quite a few young people dare to state their opinion about HSE objectively and rationally.
A huge plus for the university - for this circumstance alone, it needs to erect a monument in the form of a happy student - there is practically no corruption at the HSE. This is noted by most students. Either the reason is the intensive funding of the activities of the university by sponsors, or loyalty to the principles of "European transparency", but students agree that getting a diploma only with knowledge is very real here.
The quality of knowledge, lectures and teacher training varies across faculties. If we analyze the reviews about the HSE in Moscow, then students agree that the quality of teaching in the humanities and political science is a little behind.
Not a single review describes the quality of education as eloquently as the statistics of employment by profile after graduation from this university: 94% of graduates found suitable job. This is despite the fact that 48% warmed up a warm corporate place even before receiving a diploma. Leading companies send their recruits to prestigious universities to look for valuable talent while they are still on the student bench.
What are the negative aspects of studying at the HSE most often indicated by students in their reviews?
Most of all, students complain about the workload and the need to gain knowledge in a permanently competitive environment. It is endless to talk about whether it is possible to push students who were children yesterday with their foreheads together. But the leadership of the HSE has made a choice and is not going to cancel the rating system.
Also, students are indignant about the Anti-Plagiarism system. There is a university program that checks every work. In the text, only 20% of quoting with an exact indication of the source is allowed. Everything else is the author's personal judgments, conclusions, etc. Naturally, this greatly increases the time for preparing essays and term papers for students.
Dormitories of the Higher School of Economics
HSE buildings are scattered around the city, as are hostels. Today, the Higher School of Economics has 9 dormitories. Reviews about HSE dormitories are mostly positive, but utterly ironic. All the humor lies in the fact that they are located in the Moscow region, and the road from the place of residence to the educational building is an inexhaustible ground for student jokes. If we discard this inconvenience, then the rest of the HSE dormitories are made “for people”. They are apartment type, they have all the amenities. In Moscow, it is cheaper and closer, but it is only suitable for residents who are unpretentious in terms of comfort.
All hostels have wireless free Internet with access at any time of the day.
The atmosphere in the hostel is upbeat, productive and motivating. The HSE did an elementary and ingenious thing, they paid tribute to the desire of every person for everyday comfort. They made modern classrooms and hostels for students, and they do not care how to accumulate water in basins, wash their hair over the sink, etc. But they care about acquiring knowledge and self-development.
Master's at HSE: student reviews, master's programs
Documents in accepts in in electronic format. After the approval of the electronic application, the originals can be brought to the selection committee or sent by mail.
All applicants pass a competition in the form of entrance exams (most often economics + English + mathematics, but disciplines vary depending on the faculty).
The order for enrollment is issued somewhere in the middle of August, two weeks before the start of lectures.
Master's programs at HSE look very attractive. Almost all of them are bilateral and enable students to obtain double degrees and get a unique learning experience at HSE. Today, the HSE cooperates with the Humboldt Universities in Berlin, the Pantheon-Sorbonne in Paris, Mason in New York, with 10 universities in Britain, including the London School political science, as well as higher institutions in Canada, USA, Luxembourg, Finland, etc.
The Higher School of Economics is a research university that carries out its mission through scientific, educational, design, expert-analytical and socio-cultural activities based on international scientific and organizational standards. HSE is part of the global academic community involved in global university interaction. Studying proccess closely intertwined with research work. There are Cooperation Agreements, exchange programs and double diplomas with the world's leading universities.
Until 2014, the HSE had about 40 faculties and departments. In the spring of 2014, structural reforms were launched: “large” faculties (“megafaculties”) were created at the university. These are analogs of institutes (higher schools) that make up many universities in the world, and in recent times— and some Russian universities.
In fact, we are not talking about the consolidation of existing faculties and departments (departments were created on their basis), but about combining them into subject clusters. The "megafaculties" included departments, their varieties - schools, as well as specialized research centers and divisions additional education.
"Large" faculties, consisting of departments, manage educational ones.
