International Admissions

'The studies are very interesting. I can even say that HSE University is beyond my expectations. I had some fears, but they were not confirmed. The university is located in St Petersburg, which is very beautiful. I think it is a city of history and beauty. But it is also very modern. It represents the perfect balance between modernity and history. I can sincerely say that it is an extremely beautiful city.'

'When I came here, I spoke very little Russian. That is why I was quite afraid of how my trip would go. HSE University became a refuge for me in terms of language. HSE University made my life much easier in terms of language—I was able to build friendships and learn a lot.'

— Taş Elif Esra, Turkey, Exchange student

'HSE is an international family for me: I have many friends among Russian and international students, we have unforgettable time together. There are many interesting clubs in the university, they will definitely impress you. I was provided a place in the dormitory with good conditions, everything was beautiful and comfortable. Dormitory heads were very kind and the neighbours are extremely friendly.'

'The academic environment is very different from what I am used to and what I have known all my life. At the beginning, it was quite hard for me to adjust, but now I feel way better. The professors here are very helpful. If I do not understand the concept or some tasks, I can meet with them or write to them to get some explanations. My groupmates also help a lot.'
