HSE University’s Institute of Education (IOE) is a leading Russian centre for multidisciplinary educational research, training, advisory, and professional networking.
Established in 2012 from a merger of HSE’s several specialist divisions, IOE has assembled knowledgeable, insightful, and resourceful professionals in various domains of educational studies and related fields, further reinforced by sustained and ever-growing cross-border cooperation.
With these synergies of accomplished faculty, top-skill graduate prospects, and renowned global partners, IOE has evolved into a hub of front-line expertise, innovation, and excellence in education, enjoying strong recognition both nationally and abroad.
As one of HSE University’s core units, IOE works to underpin HSE’s leading role in driving educational transformations in Russia, and to support its competitive standing on the global arena.
