Last autumn HSE’s project ‘Teach for HSE’ commissioned an internal study by HSE Centre for Institutional Research. The study aimed to see a broad picture of how faculty members and students perceive benefits and challenges of teaching and studying in an international classroom.

International faculty at HSE are involved not only in research and teaching, but some also combine it with active participation in the city’s public discussion spaces.
