HSE's Project Management Course Receives International Accreditation

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: State University “Higher School of Economics” –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics has received accreditation for teaching the discipline "Project Management" according to the international standard IPMA ICB 4.0.

Accreditation confirms that the Project Management course at the HSB complies with international standards: from the content of the course and the qualifications of teachers to the teaching materials. These requirements are recognized in more than 70 countries, including the USA, China, India, Germany, Great Britain and France.

The Project Management course is implemented as part of various educational programs of the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics – from bachelor's and master's degrees to professional retraining programs and MBA. Particular attention is paid to unified international approaches so that graduates can work in the global market and "speak" with colleagues in the same professional language.

Project management has long gone beyond the scope of narrow professional tools. Today, it is the key to implementing changes and the basis for sustainable growth of companies in an unstable and rapidly changing environment. Modern project management requires specialists to be flexible, able to work with a high degree of uncertainty, think strategically, and have a wide range of methodological approaches – from classical to Agile and hybrid. All this forms the basis for teaching the Project Management discipline at the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

The certificate was issued for two years by the Russian Project Management Association SOVNET, the representative of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in Russia since 1991. To obtain accreditation, the HSE provided a full set of training materials, and the teachers confirmed their qualifications by undergoing certification according to the IPMA system. The assessment was carried out by a commission of national experts authorized by IPMA.

Ilyina Olga Nikolaevna

Associate Professor of the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Director of the Project Management Center of the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics

"Accreditation according to the international IPMA standard is a significant step for the HSB. It confirms that our approach to teaching project management meets the high requirements of the global professional community. For us, this is not only an assessment of quality, but also confirmation that we are developing education in accordance with global trends and preparing specialists who are able to work effectively in an international environment."

International accreditation confirms HSE's commitment to high educational standards and strengthens its reputation as a first-choice business school.

Video greetings from Tatyana Golikova on the All-Russian Day of Family, Love and Fidelity

From the transcript:

Greetings to the participants of the second season of the “It’s in Our Family” competition and to all the families of our great country!

Today is a special holiday – Family, Love and Fidelity Day. A holiday that unites generations and proves that a strong family is the foundation of a strong Russia.

Family is an inexhaustible source of love, support and wisdom, the foundation on which personality is built. It is in the family that the most important values are passed on from generation to generation: respect, mutual understanding, loyalty, responsibility, traditions and the memory of ancestors. It is in the family circle that we learn to love, forgive, believe and create.

Our common goal is to strengthen families, to avoid alienation and separation of generations. I am convinced that this is possible if the family is united by common goals, plans and dreams. This is the mission of the competition "It's Family for Us", which is held on the initiative of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Almost 600 thousand people from all over the country took part in the first season of the competition, turning it into the largest family competition in Russia and giving it real national love. The tasks motivated thousands of families to spend more time with their loved ones: to learn new things together, to adopt knowledge from the older generation, to get to know each other better – through simple and useful activities.

Since this year, the competition has become annual and has joined the large-scale national project "Family". Its main and fundamental goal is for us, Russians, to become more numerous.

The contest "It's Family" was created to show how important and multifaceted family is in our lives. You share a piece of your family history, your unique traditions, recipes, hobbies. You remind us all that strong family ties, mutual support and love are the harmonious foundation of our society.

The new season of the competition has started. Every Russian family can take part in it. I am sure that interesting communication, an atmosphere of creativity, new interesting acquaintances await you, because generosity of soul, love and loyalty are our family traits! Join us!
