It is a right moment for developing and correcting the HSE strategy;

New trend: from the organic growth to mergers

Integration of the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Math (MIEM) in 2012

3700 students and 500 faculty members;
Applied Math, IT and Computer Sciences (high quality, have partners at the HSE);
Electronics and Telecommunications (ambivalent quality, do not have partners at the HSE);
Social and Economic sciences (low quality);

Challenges: additional costs of integration, development of the engineering department, HSE brand maintenance.

Internationalization of education: attracting overseas students

Developing and offering courses taught in English (over 160 courses);
Suggesting clusters of elective courses for overseas students coming for a semester-long program rather than for a degree;
357 international students (excluding CIS and Baltic States) were studying in HSE in 2011(60% came for year/semester-long programs);
Launching degree programs taught in English (5 master’s programs in 2012);

Challenge: how to increase the number of overseas students from the leading universities.

Creating opportunities for outbound student mobility

Running 24 double-degree programs with 20 foreign universities;
Issuing the European Diploma Supplement to the HSE degree (all graduates starting from 2011);
180 HSE students attended study abroad programs in 2011 (rather limited financial support from HSE);
Introducing new forms of student mobility programs and providing financial assistance on a competitive basis;

Challenge: how to define criteria for the financial support of students? Should it be performance-based, program-based, or need-based?

Selection of more than 200 teaching assistants;
Providing sabbaticals for faculty members (one time in five years);
Reducing teaching load:
for younger faculty members (25 percent);
for the PhD holders recruited from the international academic market;
for the faculty members engaged in the administrative tasks.

Basic criteria:

Doing research and having publications (or being a prominent practitioner);
Developing and publishing syllabi and basic personal information on the HSE web-site;
Having high or moderate students’ ratings;
Having academic degrees of candidate, doctor or PhD (for certain academic positions);

Challenge: faculty members formally have adapted to the new basic requirements.

How to develop the selection and rotation criteria?

Should we invest more resources to raise the HSE rankings?
Which ranking systems should we focus upon?
What kind of measures should be taken in the short-term perspective?
