Melissa Övem – Istanbul, Turkey – HSE Arts and Culture Management 2021
“I am quite glad to have the opportunity to have an art class at Hermitage. My best days are spent in museums and/or studying art, therefore I find it remarkable that our programme partnered with The State Hermitage Museum meanwhile our lecturers are linked with museums such as the Manege Central Exhibition Hall and The Fabergé Museum”
Bekzod Ulmazov – Tashkent, Uzbekistan - HSE Arts and Culture Management 2021
“The Arts and Culture Management program at HSE is a splendid opportunity to work with leading institutions such as the Hermitage Museum, the Faberge Museum, the Alexandrinsky Theatre. As for me, the best parts of this program are students, professors, project partners who work for the development of cultural institutions globally”
Yana Leontyeva – Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan - HSE Arts and Culture Management 2021
“The HSE believes in learning by doing, and the created curriculum allows us to work on different projects in every module. This approach in the learning process changed my understanding of processes in the art industry. Fundamental knowledge in management and Arts & Culture theory helped me to study the situation in the art market as a part of a constructive dialogue”
Low May Ann – Penang, Malaysia - HSE Arts and Culture Management 2021
“This program definitely provides a path for me for my future as I am always interested in arts and culture studies. Although I am still not certain about my future career, this program has broadened my horizons by introducing various types of creative industries in the market, and not only that, it collaborated with different museums around St. Petersburg as well, which is a huge opportunity to learn more about the industry through these museums”
Cao Mingzi – Sichuan, China - HSE Arts and Culture Management 2021
“During the four years of living and studying in St. Petersburg, visiting museums and exhibitions are one of my few extracurricular activities. In this process, the artistic atmosphere of St. Petersburg affects me. I gradually became interested in this industry. Just at this time, I found that HSE offered such courses, so I chose this program. Before this, I had no education about art and had never thought about a future career about art. So everything in this program is new and challenging for me”
Ahemaydeer Hailati – Urumqi, China - HSE Arts and Culture Management 2020
“Thanks to the opportunities to participate in multiple projects, I discovered that I am passionate about designing, and also I became better at communicating with different people, which I used to be not particularly good at”
Jelizaveta Poglid – Narva, Estonia - HSE Arts and Culture Management 2020
“Arts and Culture Management program gives me a great opportunity to have practice from Hermitage and the New Stage of Alexandrinsky theater to Cartier. This program is a great combination of classes which are fulfilled with spheres of arts and culture, management, business and creative industries. There is a wide opportunity to have experience in projects working with big institutions. And the most important - it doesn't matter where you came and what was your previous education - you still can find your place here”
