Academic mobility is not just about studies but also about travellings, practising a language, and making new friends. The Editorial Office of the portal asked HSE students to tell about their exchange experiences so that you can learn more about international mobility. In this material, they tell how to study languages in China, what useful a law-student take from studying in Italy, and how possible it is to have an internship in the Czech Republic.

On September 19, all students will have to reset their passwords for HSE’s online services and information systems.
