Mam Isatou Njie is 21. Born in West Africa’s Gambia, she can be well considered an authentic Moscow resident now that she entered her fourth year of ICEF International Bachelor’s Programme in Economics and Finance. Here’s Mam about the essential things to know about living and studying in Moscow, ways to get a tuition discount, and the Russian celebration she likes best.

Snezhana Yerashova entered ICEF Master’s Programme after completing her economics degree in Lomonosov Moscow State University. Good-natured and committed, her classmates wouldn’t find a better candidate to be their representative. Nor would we find a more apt person to ask first about how our new cohort are doing in their new environment and what they think about their first few months in ICEF.

On October 25-26, 2024 ICEF held the Sixth ICEF International Conference on Applied Economics at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. The conference was held in the format of live discussions with the participation of researchers from leading Russian and foreign universities, which contributed to the exchange of ideas and the development of international cooperation.

Last April Vera Potekhina, who earned her bachelor’s from ICEF in 2024, started a job at Sberbank. We talked to Vera to find out how she searched – and landed – promising internships, what makes ICEF Career Services a great source of career advice, and how the Sberbank junior investment sales manager has been to as many as seven Russian regions in just one year through work.

In mid-October, the delegation of ICEF HSE visited Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE) in China’s Chengdu.
