"In Perm I applied only to this university and made every possible effort to enter here"

Umidjon Ergashev, 1st year student of the Bachelor's programme “Business Administration”

On August 30, we, international students, were invited to a very cozy and informal event before start of a new academic year. I think that this is a very right decision of the HSE, because it will help us to join the HSE family quickly and feel at home. To be honest, I did not expect to meet here so many international students. In Perm, I applied only to this university and made every possible effort to enter here.

On admission I received a lot of help with choosing a programme and information about  student exchange from Elizaveta Dengina and Iuliia Babenko, who I am very grateful to. Also, I was very well influenced by the words of the academic supervisor of our educational programme Dmitry G. Artemyev: "We create chaos ourselves and we must organize it ourselves." In general, the impressions are only positive. I think that throughout the entire educational process they will remain the same. In the future I plan to stay here to study at a Master’s programme.
