Education

The Faculty of Humanities produces highly qualified specialists in history, cultural studies, linguistics, philology, and philosophy.

The faculty focuses on producing lecturers and researchers in linguistics and literature, philosophy, history and contemporary culture, as well as translators and international communications specialists.

Students at the faculty receive both fundamental and advanced education in specialist areas on the basis of a broader appreciation of the humanities. In addition, our students master several foreign languages and are taught the latest research strategies, are familiarised with current research projects and achievements of researchers in various fields of the humanities and also receive active research experience.

The Faculty of Humanities presents the programs of the Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies (IOCS). A feature of these programs is that a strictly defined set of programs is opened every year. Thus, programs for which recruitment was carried out earlier are considered completed, and a new enrollment for them will be announced only after the release of the recruited groups. And only admission to the program Classical Studies is held annually.

BA and MA students at the faculty have the opportunity to build their own tailor-made curriculum and choose elective courses from HSE’s course catalogue in addition to subjects from their programme’s core curriculum.
