Study here if it matters to you:

To receive a high-quality humanities education

The School's educational programmes are built on the principle of interdisciplinarity: students integrate knowledge from various fields and apply it in new contexts.

To combine theoretical foundation with practical skills

Annual practical training and the implementation of students' own projects make it possible to gain real experience. Internships and collaboration with leading institutions in the fields of science, culture, education and digital technologies allow students to find employment while still studying.

To become part of an international academic community

The School actively participates in international research, collaborating with leading members of the academic community. This gives students the opportunity to become part of global research teams and take part in projects that align with the sought-after intellectual directions of world humanities scholarship.

To use digital technologies in the humanities

The School actively develops the Digital Humanities direction, offering students an alternative to traditional humanities scholarship. This includes the extensive use of digital technologies in education and allows students to master modern tools and methods of data analysis in humanities research.

To share the values of academic freedom and openness

В The School values academic and intellectual freedom, which creates conditions for an open exchange of ideas and supports student initiatives. This contributes to the creation of an innovative educational environment where every student can demonstrate their abilities.

To study with recognised experts in their field

В The School has a unique team of teachers and researchers with an international academic reputation. The School's teachers set tasks for students, motivating them to think critically and creatively, which is an important component of training specialists capable of adapting to a changing environment.
