Academic mobility
The objectives, foundations, procedure, conditions, sources of financing, and rules for determining the workload for students in terms of credits and the procedure to account for the results of students’ academic mobility are regulated by the Regulation on the Academic Mobility of HSE Students.
Academic mobility is the obtaining of educational services by HSE students outside the faculty and campus where they study on the condition that credits are awarded for learning outcomes.
Types of Academic Mobility
| Type of academic mobility | Location and means of receiving educational services | Determination of the workload of academic work in terms of credits for students taking part in academic mobility |
|---|---|---|
| Academic mobility within the university | a student receives educational services at HSE with transfer to a different campus and full-time study | counting the number of credits indicated in the approved working study plan for a subject chosen by a student |
| Academic mobility within Russia | a student receives educational services at another university in Russia under any form of study | counting the number of credits indicated on the certificate |
| International academic mobility | a student receives educational services at an international university with transfer to the location and full-time study | counting the number of credits indicated on the certificate that is presented |
| Remote academic mobility | a student receives educational services through online study | counting the number of credits indicated on the certificate that is presented |
| Type of academic mobility | Depending on length of study |
|---|---|
| Short-term | study by a student outside the main faculty for no more than three months, as well as participation in short seminars, forums, symposia and other forms of scientific and educational cooperation, evaluation of participation in which is expressed in credits and shown on a certificate |
| Long-term | study by a student outside the main faculty for more than three months |
To participate in long-term academic mobility, including in a programme created on the initiative of the student, requires an individual study plan that includes subjects to be studied outside the main faculty.
