Innovations in the education system

The National Research University "Higher School of Economics" became one of the first universities in the country, which switched to the generally accepted world training scheme. It is divided into two types. The undergraduate has 4 educational courses. Master's program assumes two years of study. Thus, the "Higher School of Economics" became one of the first universities to successfully implement the Bologna Process in the educational program. Its main difference is the transition to a two-tier system.

Also, to the peculiarities of this process can be attributed new technologies of education. The academic year of undergraduate studies at the university has some differences. It is divided into two modules, not four, but four modules. Such a system has many advantages. According to the students themselves, it provides the optimal level of distribution of the teaching load. Modules allow you to balance efforts throughout the year. These training programs involve several intermediate tests. Typically, two to four. For a successfully passed test points are awarded. In the future, they form the final assessment of the academic achievement of the student. The bulk of the final and intermediate examinations involve a change in writing. This measure significantly reduces the risk of subjectivity. The institute does not use the generally accepted Russian assessment system.

The National Research University practices a ten-point scheme. The public rating of each student is formed by summing up all the points scored by him. They can correspond to current and annual estimates. There is also a public rating that is accumulated throughout the entire period of study. Assessments affect not only the overall performance of the student. Depending on the current ratings, students can expect to receive discounts on tuition fees up to seventy percent. This is provided for those who receive education on a contractual basis.

Also, ratings affect the size of scholarships for students studying on a budget. They can expect to receive two types of financial assistance. The scholarship is divided into academic and social. The totality of these funds is the level of the subsistence minimum in the capital. Final ratings have a strong influence on the future fate of the student. On their basis, a selection is made for various specializations and master's programs. Also, students with high academic achievement have a chance to pass a foreign internship.

The ratings are benchmarks for potential employers. Library resources are widely used in the learning process in the institution. "High School of Economics" has a subscription to thirty-nine databases, which open full-text access to fifty thousand different scientific journals. In the institution, the Educational Innovation Fund was opened. Its main task is to support new projects in the field of methodological and educational activities.
