English classes for employees

In order to fulfil the objectives of the Graduate School of Business in accordance with the Concept approved by the Academic Council of HSE on 24.04.2020 (direction "Internationalisation and Export Development of Education"), GSB annually organises optional English language classes for employees aimed at developing professional language competencies.

Classes are held remotely (in MS Teams) once a week for 2 academic hours according to a set timetable. In addition to working with the tutor, employees work independently on collaborative projects and individual assignments. Upon successful completion of the year's training, the International Exchange Centre issues a certificate confirming the participants' language skills. Groups are limited to 10-12 participants. The programme is funded by the GSB and is free of charge for employees.

Enrolment 2021/2022 academic year

Two groups of staff are currently formed. Group timetable:

• Group 1: Weekly Wednesdays from 6.30pm to 7.50pm in MS Teams
• Group 2: Weekly Thursdays from 6.30pm to 7.50pm at MS Teams

It is not possible to join the MS Teams classes this year, but you may be able to apply for classes in the academic year 2022/2023 (enrolment will open around September 2022).
