HSE University-St Petersburg Holds Open Day for Indonesian Students in Jakarta
On September 23, in the Russian House in Jakarta, the delegation from HSE University-St Petersburg headed by the director Anna Tyshetskaya introduced Indonesian school students and their parents to the educational programmes at the university and opportunities of studies in Russia.
During the Open Day, the representatives of HSE University-St Petersburg presented the opportunities for studies at the university, educational programmes, and advantages of studies and life in Russia for international students.
'HSE University offers plenty of courses and programmes that are fully in English. Even without knowing the Russian language, international students successfully study and graduate from HSE University. In this, students often get help from our professional international team', says Anna Tyshetskaya.
The guests also learned about the experience of studying in Russia and opportunities offered by HSE University during a workshop by Bima Yatna Anugerah Ramadhani, HSE graduate and the director of the HSE representative office in Indonesia. In addition, Dr Manoj Sharma, Vice-President of HSE University-St Petersburg, shared the details of the educational processes for international students.
The Open Day was also attended by Nikita Shilikov, the head of the representative office of 'Rossotrudnichestvo' in Indonesia.
The HSE delegation also held meetings with Sergei Tolchenov, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Indonesia, and Alexander Masaltsev, the Trade Commissioner of Russia in Indonesia. The participants discussed the opportunities of promoting Russian education in the international arena as well as issues of increasing awareness about Russia, its culture and educational opportunities to break through the stereotypes and improve the image of our country abroad. According to Anna Tyshetskaya, educational mobility plays a key role in establishing diplomatic ties acting as a soft power which facilitates long-term cooperation and understanding between countries.
'Last year, HSE University-St Petersburg held an international conference which united the representatives of leading universities from all over the world. This event became an important step in strengthening our presence in global education. This year, we plan to expand international cooperation, including the spheres of creative industries and design. We keep exchanging experience and knowledge with our partners to support the development of education and science on the world stage', Anna Tyshetskaya shared the details of cooperation with the international colleagues.
HSE University is actively cooperating with Indonesian universities. At Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) in Surabaya, the Russian university has opened its representative office. The educational hub supports students from the countries of the Asia–Pacific region, who plan to study in Russia, and contributes to the development of partner relations between Russian and Indonesian universities. HSE University-St Petersburg coordinates the activities of the hub with support from 'Rossotrudnichestvo'.
Apart from that, the cooperation agreements were signed with the University of Indonesia, the Bandung Institute of Technology, the Binus University, the Atma Jaya University, the LSPR Institute of Communication and Business as well as the Indonesian Women's Congress.
Now, HSE University trains students from Indonesia in bachelor's and master's educational programmes, including the concentrations of 'Management' and 'Economics'. Besides, the university implements the student mobility programmes.
The cooperation agreements in the sphere of education were reached at a meeting between Vladimir Putin, the President of the Russian Federation, and Prabowo Subianto, the President-Elect of the Republic of Indonesia, in July this year.
