‘Our Beloved University Continues to Stride Forward with Unwavering Confidence’
HSE Rector Nikita Anisimov has congratulated university students, teachers, and staff on the upcoming New Year. ‘May each and every one of you spend these festive days in a heartwarming atmosphere, rejuvenating and reuniting with your families. I hope that the upcoming 2024 is filled with positive events in your lives, studies, and careers,’ he said.
According to Nikita Anisimov, HSE University continues to maintain its excellent reputation—it is hard to enrol here and even harder to study. HSE graduates are highly sought after in the job market in most industries and can expect good salaries even at the start of their careers.
The rector said that in 2023, the university took leading positions in the Priority 2030 programme and remains an important part of the global academic community. In addition, HSE University has established many promising partnerships in Asian and Latin American countries.
‘Our beloved university continues to stride forward with unwavering confidence. We will be getting better and more knowledgeable; we are prepared for further development and progress alongside the country; we are going to continue supporting Russia’s academic and technological leadership in many areas,’ Nikita Anisimov said.
