Announcement of results
Maxim Bozhik, 19, HSE University student from Moldova
I have been studying at HSE University for a year already: I was enrolled as a result of the 2020 HSE INTO, where I took second place with my creative project.
The Olympiad gave me an opportunity to master the profession I wanted in Russia at the country’s best university, and I decided to jump at this chance
I chose to enter the HSE University in Moscow, since it is one of the world’s best cities, and after a year here, I now understand that I would like to stay on and live in Moscow!
HSE University is not only well-equipped for all advanced specialisations, it also boasts amazing teachers who can easily find a common language with all their students
I’ve dreamt of becoming a programmer since I was a child, and HSE University has made my dream come true: the programme in Design and Programming at the Faculty of Creative Industries suits me ideally. I am in my second year and am confident that I have found my true calling.
Samir Kadirov, 20, HSE University student from Uzbekistan
I found out about the competition via the HSE University website and was attracted by the chance to get full scholarship at one of the best universities in Russia.
I took part in the Competition in 2019 and became a full winner in History and Law and a prize winner in Social Studies and International Affairs. I am now an undergraduate at HSE University in Moscow majoring in International Relations.
I think it was an amazing experience that gave me so many opportunities and allowed my dream to come true
So I highly recommend that all students test your knowledge and try to become a member of the huge family called HSE University.
Margarita Yankovskaya, 18, HSE University student from Belarus
As a high school student, I participated in various Olympiads and competitions in history and social science, and applying to HSE University via HSE INTO looked like a good option for me. Thanks to my previous experience, I felt confident whe going into this.
Today, I am a second-year student of the Faculty of Law at HSE University in Moscow.
After a year of studying here, I can say that HSE is a free and modern university
I am happy with the number of opportunities it offers, which include a lot of optional courses, student associations, and volunteer organisations.
