The State University - Higher School of Economics is a Russian University specializing in social sciences. It was founded in 1992 as an MA training centre but soon offered Bachelor programmes in economics. Today the HSE alumni are regarded as the most employable in Russia in the sphere of economics. In addition, HSE is also considered to be one of the top social and economic laboratories in Russia providing academic support for Russian state administration market reforms. Regarded as the most westernized Russian high education institution, HSE works in close partnership with different international institutions such as the World Bank, the British Council, the University of London, Erasmus University Rotterdam and many others. However, despite its modernization, the university adheres to political neutrality.
The HSE is based in the city of Moscow, Russian Federation.
