Education

Specially for the students of Tokai University (Japan), the team of the Centre for Russian Language and Culture at HSE University-St Petersburg developed an online programme that teaches the Russian language in modern animated cartoons. For three weeks, the students learned how to talk about daily routine, found out about Russian holidays and traditions, discussed education and cuisine, and all of that went through the lens of popular and independent cartoons.

From pre-Petrine times to Soviet neighbourhoods, students from Russia, Brazil, Turkey, China, and Germany spent three weeks studying the multi-layered history of St Petersburg not just in the classroom but also on the city streets. The participants of the International Summer School at HSE University–St Petersburg visited imperial residences and Soviet communal apartments, Orthodox and Lutheran churches, the historical centre and residential areas.

From October 28 to November 29, 2023, students of HSE University will take part in an international internship at Lovely Professional University (LPU), one of the biggest universities in India. The exchange programme is intended for students of the bachelor’s programme in Media Communications and the master’s programme in Media Production and Media Analysis at HSE University-St Petersburg. The project will culminate in the creation of a documentary film about India, which will be shot jointly by students of HSE University and LPU.
