Alumni and Students

If you want to learn more about the Alumni Community, you don’t have to wait four years to graduate. HSE University graduates are in constant contact with our students. Furthermore, you can get in contact with alumni through the following formats:

• Mentorship Programme

  HSE St. Petersburg’s alumni work as mentors for first-year students with a view to providing assistance with their personal development and career planning

• Consultations

  At HSE University-St. Petersburg’s career events, alumni offer their advice to students about their professional plans. This is a unique opportunity where you can voice your interests and concerns, while also being absolutely sure that you will get feedback. Also, every March, the Alumni Advice project is implemented: career advice from alumni for students.  

• Introduction and Inspiration

  Graduates often share their experiences in interviews. Throughout the academic year, a video podcast Orientation Week is released, featuring graduates of one educational program talking about their careers, studying at HSE University in St. Petersburg, and more. Seven episodes have already been released, covering various educational programs; you can watch them all in the Career Development Center group.
  Up-to-date news about the Community is available in the VKontakte group and on Telegram.

• Lectures and master classes

  HSE University alumni often return to the University as guest lecturers and workshop facilitators, where they share their experience and professional insight.

• Recruiting

  Talented employees are in demand everywhere, and graduates also love to attract them to their teams and often seek new student interns. This is a great chance to hone your hard skills while still at university! Many graduate job postings are posted on the HSE St. Petersburg careers channel.
