на восток - eastward
Network: Over the years we have established a network of exchange opportunities in Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus, which provides excellent opportunities for studying in the east. Spending a term or a year at our partner institutions will be a tremendous personal experience, enhance your professional qualification, and improve your language skills. It will also develop your understanding for a region, which is set to become much more important for Germany in the future.
The network includes:- The State University - Higher School of Economics, Moscow (HSE)
- By far the largest partner. Intensive exchange since 2001 in both directions. We have sent students at bachelor and master level, with good results.
Recommended: bachelor and master; economics, law, management, and other social sciences.
- Urals Federal University (UFU) in Yekaterinburg
- We have received several students and send one.
Recommended: bachelor and master; economics.
- Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research (KIMEP) in Almaty, Kazakhstan
- We have received students, but no experience with sending students.
Recommended: bachelor and master; finance, accounting, management.
- International School of Economics at Tbilisi (ISET), Georgia
- No experience with sending or receiving students so far.
Recommended: master; economics.
All partners offer a modern, western stile, economic education. Teaching at KIMEP and ISET is in English, at USU it is in Russian and at HSE you will find both, courses in Russian and in English. In any case, you will need to speak Russian to survive outside of the university (of course, in Tbilisi Georgian will do as well and in Almaty Kazakh).
