Project work of students of the Faculty of Economic Science
Since the academic year 2020/2021, the educational programs of undergraduate and graduate students of the FES have moved to a new model of student project work. An obligatory element of the curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students of all years of study is the Project, which includes project work, accompanied by a research project seminar, as well as by writing course and diploma papers. Projects bring together undergraduate and graduate students from different years of study working on similar topics.
For everybody:
- In order to participate in a Project as a supervisor, co-supervisor or student, you need to register in the FES Project system using your corporate HSE email. External co-supervisors or students need to receive an invitation from an administrator of the System
- If you have any questions, write them to fes-projects@hse.ru
