We extend our sincere thanks to VNU University of Economics and Business (UEB) and the Faculty of Finance and Banking for the invitation and warm reception. It was an honor for the Department of Finance, HSE University – St Petersburg, to deliver an open lecture to your students and colleagues. We deeply value this partnership and look forward to further strengthening our collaboration in teaching and research.

Boris Lodiagin and Olga Alekseeva delivered an open lecture for students and faculty of UEB’s Faculty of Finance and Banking titled “Capital Raising for Businesses in Russia: Lessons for Vietnam.” The session was highly practice-oriented: the speakers walked through real cases from Russian companies and demonstrated how to choose an optimal capital structure for different growth objectives.

On September 30, 2024, the first-year students of the Master’s program in Finance participated in an exciting business game that showcased various aspects of the financial world. Organized by the head of the Department of Finance, Professor Varvara Nazarova, and Professor Iya Churakova, the event aimed to introduce students to the diverse roles within finance, preparing them for future career paths. 

The master's programme 'Finance' at HSE University-St Petersburg has confirmed its international accreditation of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) for five years.
