Defense of Master's Dissertations at the "Finance" Master’s Programme
On June 2 and 3, the defense of master's dissertations was held at the MP "Finance".“Can the use of artificial intelligence in African financial markets reduce their volatility and improve liquidity? How promising is the method of analysing events in the Russian market using behavioral finance? How does the development of Islamic banking affect the availability of financial resources and the economic growth of Afghanistan?”
And these are just three topics of master's dissertations papers that were presented during the defense. Each of the research projects was a deep dive into current issues of modern economics.
Defending a master's dissertations is not just a presentation of research results. This is a real intellectual duel, where a commission consisting of teachers from leading universities and representatives of well-known companies in the Russian market asks sharp questions that encourage us to look at the topic from a new angle. For students, the professional recommendations of the members of the commission on the further development of their scientific ideas are of the greatest value.
How differently the undergraduates performed! Some of the speakers felt natural excitement and gathered all their willpower into a fist, but some directly "caught the wave" and received sincere pleasure from the opportunity to share with us the results of their work.
Russia, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ghana - from these and other countries, graduate students from the Higher School of Economics have gathered. After the defense, the students will return to their homeland or continue their international scientific career in other countries.
But the HSE, which gave them the opportunity to grow stronger professionally and contribute to the development of scientific thought, will forever remain in their hearts. It is during the undergraduates' defense that you clearly understand that the HSE's contribution to world economics is not just empty words. Promising scientific topics are being developed here at a very high level with the support of professional teachers in their field.
Anna Logunova, Director of Controlling, PJSC Magnit: "It is not the first year that I have been participating in the work of the attestation commission, but again it is very exciting to see how master's students are nervous in the morning before the defense, and in the afternoon they are happy to receive congratulations on successful defense as newly minted masters.
Good luck and success to our new masters in the direction of further development that they have already chosen for themselves! I am glad to be a part of this inspiring story!"
