Huh Yun is from South Korea, lived in Kyrgyzstan, and has now moved to Moscow to study on the HSE University and Kyung Hee University Double Degree Programme in Economics and Politics in Asia at the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs. In this interview with the HSE News Service, Yun talks about what makes HSE a forward-thinking university, how students can help each other settle into university life, and why it’s important to keep challenging yourself.

On June 10, 2026, the HSE University–Kyung Hee University Double Degree Programme hosted a Korean Poetry Recitation Contest. Despite the demanding schedule of preparation for the summer examination session, participants went beyond simply memorising poems in Korean, creating original performances complete with presentations and musical accompaniment. The contest brought together students from HSE University and several other higher education institutions.

Anastasia Baschlykoff is a German citizen who recently enrolled at HSE University to pursue her love of Korean studies. As a student of the Double Degree Programme in Economics and Politics in Asia, she is gaining insight into Asian politics, culture, history, and language, and will spend the third year of the programme on an exchange at Kyung Hee University. In her interview with the HSE News Service, Anastasia explains how the programme aligns with her career plans, considers the potential for collaboration with Asian countries, and shares how life in Russia has managed to surprise her.

Till December 19, 2024 HSE students will have an opportunity to assess the quality of their teachers’ work and curriculum content.
