The SmallShorts Festival will be held via the HSE Art and Design School competitive platform as part of the ninth season of the HSE CREATIVE OPEN International Student Award until March 17, 2025. The competition is divided into three categories.
David Kuku, from Makurdi (Benue State, Nigeria), is currently studying on the Master’s in Cognitive Sciences and Technologies: From Neuron to Cognition at HSE University in Moscow. In this latest instalment of a series on students’ experiences over the last year and their plans for the future, David told the HSE News Service about coming to the university on a scholarship, the busy life of an international student, and why the most interesting thing about Moscow is the people.
Each year, hundreds of students from all over the world decide to pursue knowledge at HSE University- St Petersburg. This journey is filled with excitement, hopes, and discoveries: from choosing a programme, submitting documents, attending interviews, and passing entrance exams to receiving that coveted acceptance letter and finally arriving in Russia.
With the year almost over and the holidays just around the corner, the HSE News Service has been asking students about their reflections on 2024 and their hopes for the future. This latest instalment focuses on Abdalla Abdelgadir, a 31-year-old student in his first year of the Master’s in International Relations: European and Asian Studies at the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs. In this interview, Abdalla talks about the huge adversity he faced in his journey to Russia from his home of Omdurman, Sudan, as well as how his passion for international cooperation extends beyond the classroom.
Hannah Kanu, from Freetown in Sierra Leone, is a second-year student of the Master’s in Law of International Trade and Dispute Resolution at the HSE University Faculty of Law. With 2024 coming to an end, the HSE News Service has asked students to reflect on the year gone by and their time at the university in general. In this instalment, Hannah talks about discovering Russia and the rewards and challenges of studying in Moscow—including the Russian word she finds the most difficult.
As we look forward to 2025, FES professors have prepared a video message for students and colleagues. In this heartfelt address, they convey their warmest wishes, congratulations, and aspirations for a year filled with fruitful endeavors and remarkable accomplishments.
