HSE Graduate School of Business Climbs Higher in Eduniversal Ranking
The HSE Graduate School of Business has risen to a new level in the prestigious international Eduniversal Best Business Schools Ranking 2025, receiving 4 Palmes of Excellence. This status is awarded to world-leading business schools that demonstrate significant international influence, high academic standards, and sustainable connections with the global professional community.
The Eduniversal International Ranking is one of the key benchmarks in the field of business education, annually evaluating the 1,000 best business schools from 153 countries around the world. Its methodology is based on a three-step assessment system. In the first step, the official list of schools is determined according to quantitative and qualitative criteria, including the level of economic development of the country, educational traditions, and the scale of higher education. Then each school receives a certain number of ‘palmes of excellence’—from one to five—depending on the level of international influence, the availability of accreditations, and partnerships with international universities. The final step involves an assessment of the institutions by the deans of the world's leading business schools, which reflects the level of recognition from the professional community.
The advancement of the Graduate School of Business is the result of a comprehensive assessment of a number of parameters. Eduniversal experts noted the high level of educational programmes, their close integration with business, successful international activity, and impressive graduate employment rates.
Today, about 5,500 students (including almost 700 international students from more than 60 countries) study on 18 degree programmes at the HSE Graduate School of Business. The GSB offers 18 exchange programmes and two double-degree programmes. The educational programmes combine academic depth and practical focus through interaction with 200 corporate partners of the business school.
Eduniversal experts appreciated the high level of the MBA and CPD programmes, as confirmed by feedback from students and the career paths of graduates, as well as the school’s leading positions in management research.
The 4 Palmes of Excellence category awarded to the Graduate School of Business confirms its status as a top business school with significant international influence in the professional and academic community. The Eduniversal release states that in the context of global changes, the GSB’s business education model remains flexible. By integrating technology, fostering sustainable business practices, and providing global expertise, the school embodies a next-generation education model.
The official award ceremony will take place in November during the annual Eduniversal World Convention at IIM Indore, one of India's leading business schools. For the HSE Graduate School of Business, this is not only an important sign of international recognition, but also an incentive to further develop educational and research initiatives, expand its partner network, and strengthen Russia's position in global business education.

Scientists Discover That the Brain Responds to Others’ Actions as if They Were Its Own
When we watch someone move their finger, our brain doesn’t remain passive. Research conducted by scientists from HSE University and Lausanne University Hospital shows that observing movement activates the motor cortex as if we were performing the action ourselves—while simultaneously ‘silencing’ unnecessary muscles. The findings were published in Scientific Reports.

Larger Groups of Students Use AI More Effectively in Learning
Researchers at the Institute of Education and the Faculty of Economic Sciences at HSE University have studied what factors determine the success of student group projects when they are completed with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). Their findings suggest that, in addition to the knowledge level of the team members, the size of the group also plays a significant role—the larger it is, the more efficient the process becomes. The study was published in Innovations in Education and Teaching International.
