Information:

The Higher School of Economics was founded on November 27th, 1992, by an Ordinance of the RF Government.

In October 2009 the Higher School of Economics received the status of a National Research University.

The system of education at the HSE ensures the competitiveness of Russian education in its most urgently needed and, at the same time, weakest sphere - economics and social sciences. The School was the first in Russia to adopt the commonly accepted world-wide "4+2" practice: four years of undergraduate study and two years for Master's courses.

There are 22 faculties and schools at the HSE.

More than 60% of graduates already have a job by the time they receive their degree and officially graduate. Six months after graduation 80% of graduates are employed, while the other 20% are continuing their education at post graduate level.

The average monthly wage in the first year after graduation from HSE is US $ 1000 (and much higher in traditionally better paid sectors).

20% of graduates work in the power industry, the oil industry or in research, 16% in consulting and audit and 13% in the financial sector.
