How to create an application project for undergraduate students

Student projects: what are they for?

Project activities for students were introduced into HSE undergraduate education programs in 2014. This practice has two goals: to give students the opportunity to try themselves in real work in the chosen specialty and gain experience in applying the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in practice.

You can create such a project if you have a task or task that students can complete. Thus, when executing the project:


  • The customer organizes a work process or solves a specific problem in an organization/division;

  • Students consolidate the learned material while working on the project.
How is it organized project activities within the framework of bachelor's programs at the National Research University Higher School of Economics?


The concept of the project has been formed, there is someone interested in it Customer

Submitting a project application for Project Fair employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics

Students sign up for the project, students are selected
The general system for organizing work on a project at the Higher School of Economics is as follows:


Summing up the project, assessment of student work

Work on the project

The main feature of the project is the inclusion of students in the work on practical problems, which require students to use the knowledge acquired during the learning process, discipline and responsibility. Such tasks can be set for students both by departments of the National Research University Higher School of Economics and by external customers. It is important that the project manager is an employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

What types of projects can students undertake?

You can involve students in working on a project if the goal is a specific product that can be used for applied or research purposes. Students can also be involved in organizing and carrying out some process - holding conferences, olympiads, excursions, days open doors etc.

Based on this, projects can be classified into three types:


  • If the main goal of the project is to conduct research that involves obtaining as a result some scientific or scientific-applied product, for example an article/publication, report, analytical review or note, application for a scientific grant, methodological manual etc. – then the project research;

  • In the case where the main goal of the project is to solve some applied problem, such as the development and justification of a design solution, the creation of a business plan or business case, especially for an external customer, the project refers to applied;

  • a project that involves the participation of students in the organization of any event or in the implementation of organizational processes (organization feedback teacher and students, technical training educational materials, organizational assistance in the process of conducting classes, etc.) – service project.
Each project has a labor intensity in credits, which are credited to the students who complete them and taken into account in their curriculum. Service projects have the lowest cost per credit (and students cannot earn more than 25% of the credits they need with such projects), but there are no requirements for a detailed description of the result.

How to prepare such a project?

When preparing your project application, you will need to answer the following questions:


  1. What will the project be called?
The title is the first parameter that students will pay attention to. Try to ensure that it clearly and clearly reflects the essence of the work.

  1. Who will lead the project?
The supervisor must be an employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

  1. Which department is the customer for the project?
If the customer is external, then the project manager’s department should be indicated in the application.

  1. When should the project be completed?
A project must have a start date and an end date. You also need to decide until when you will accept applications for participation in the project. Allow time for selecting students if there are more applications than required.

  1. How many credits can I assign per project?
The complexity of the project is calculated in credits awarded to each student upon completion. 1 credit equals 25 (astronomical) hours of student work. Some projects may require preparatory or independent work, it must also be counted, as well as the time for defense and/or presentation of results.

Example: The project lasts 10 weeks and each participating student spends 5 hours per week on it. Thus, in total, students will work for 50 hours, which is the labor intensity of the project for 2 credits.

Example 2: To complete a project, you need to spend 300 hours on it. So, if you open it on project 4 vacancies Well, it turns out that each student will spend 75 hours on it. The complexity of the project in this case is equal to 3 credits.

Note. The project manager decides in which direction to round the hours. If there are few vacancies and the work is complex, it is recommended to round the hours up (i.e., for example, 35 hours can be rounded up to 50 and assigned a labor intensity of 2 credits). If the work is group and routine, it is recommended to round down.


  1. How many students can be involved in the project?
You can involve as many students in the project as required to successfully complete the project on time.

If you don't know how many students you need, you can estimate this number based on the duration of the project and the total number of hours required to complete it (or hours spent on the project per week).

Students have both classroom and extracurricular activities, and usually a student can devote from 1 to 6 hours a week to a project (for particularly urgent projects - up to 15 hours). This will allow you to determine the number of students you need.

Example: if the project requires spending 8 hours a week, then you can attract 1 student, or 2 students who will work 4 hours a week, or 4 students who will work 2 hours a week (the labor intensity in credits will be correspondingly lower) .

Example 2: The project requires a total of 200 hours to complete, and the project duration is 10 weeks. It turns out that on average you need to spend 20 hours a week on the project. If each student is required to work on a project for 4 hours per week, then the project will require 5 vacant positions.


  1. Where will the students work?
Students can work on a project on the premises of the department, customer, or remotely.

  1. How will students be assigned tasks?
While working on your project, students can be assigned tasks individually or in groups. It is possible that all students will have a common project task.

  1. What educational programs (and courses) do you invite students to participate in?
If you wish, you may limit enrollment to certain undergraduate degree programs. You can also limit the enrollment of certain courses by students, without differentiation according to the selected educational programs.

Example: students of the OP "Oriental Studies" International relations" and "Political Science", courses 3 to 4.


  1. What other requirements should there be for potential project participants?
Specify professional requirements– prerequisites for the knowledge, skills and abilities of students that you expect from project participants. It is possible to indicate disciplines that students should already master.

  1. Where will meetings with project participants and student work take place (if not remotely)?
This territory can be the office of a HSE department or the territory of the customer.

  1. What keywords characterize the project?
When submitting an application, you will need to indicate tags - keywords related to the topic of the project. Using them, it will be easier for students and anyone interested to find your project on the HSE portal.

What else is required to be included in the project application?

If at the previous stage all the information about the organizational side of the project was collected, then at this stage it is necessary to describe its content.

The project description should include:


  1. General description of the goals and objectives of the project;

  2. Information about the external customer (if any);

  3. Types of activities performed by the student in the project/skills practiced

  4. The planned result of work on the project;

  5. Criteria for assessing the final result;

  6. Criteria for assessing students' individual contribution to work.
Pay special attention to the nature of the activity that students will be engaged in, since this item will best indicate what skills the student will be practicing.

Also one of the key points project work is to evaluate the final result and student contribution to the work.

Regarding research and applied projects the result can be assessed by external criteria, for example, acceptance of an article for publication, coincidence of predictions with reality, changes in observed characteristics, etc. at the same time, the most effective and recommended way to evaluate the results of a project is its public defense before the customer. This item is not mandatory for a service project.

The assessment of students’ contribution to the work may depend entirely on the assessment of the result of the project, or it may be differentiated, in which the number of credits is awarded depending on the student’s performance project tasks, meeting deadlines, etc.

All items on the add project page are required. The “Project Description” block should include basic information about the content of the project work (no more than 500 characters). It is best to attach a detailed description of the project as a separate file (available in the same block).

After filling out all the required fields, you can send it for review to the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs. After reviewing the project for compliance with all the requirements specified in the Instructions, the project will be published at the Fair and available to students.

For potential customers:

If you are interested in implementing a project with HSE students, but you are not an HSE employee and do not have professional contacts with HSE teachers who could act as project leaders, take advantage of the following opportunities:


  1. write to us about your idea at [email protected];

  2. Contact the contacts on the portal www.hse.ru with the leaders of the educational program or department whose students will suit you for the purpose of the project.

“Digital book publishing”

During the course, students become familiar with the theory and history of digital book publishing, choose the topic and content of the book (usually collections of essays and articles by famous scientists, critics or publicists), interact with the author, and work on the book as editors in the Adobe Digital Publishing System program. and develop marketing strategies to promote your product.

You can see what happened at . In November 2016, students presented the books they had prepared. One of the books, “How It’s Done: Producing in Creative Industries,” entered the top sales of the Ridero publishing platform in March 2016.

The course is led by Alexander Arkhangelsky, a writer, TV presenter, literary critic, and full-time professor at HSE, and the students are taught by the director of the Institute of Books, co-founder of the Ridero publishing platform, Alexander Gavrilov, executive director Association of Internet Publishers Vladimir Kharitonov and Doctor of Cultural Studies, Professor of the Faculty of Communications, Media and Design at HSE Anna Novikova.

“Transmedia extensions for museums”

Students, together with museum professionals, produce transmedia extensions for museums: they think through content and visual concepts, build interaction with designers and museum staff, and work in archives. Museums thus receive additional resources to attract audiences, and students receive experience working on real projects.

In the 2016-17 academic year, some of the students worked on projects for small Tretyakov museums (these include the Apartment Museum of A.M. Vasnetsov, the House-Museum of V.M. Vasnetsov, the Museum-Workshop of A.S. Golubkina, the House-Museum P. D. Korina). The result of their work will be a website, which in the future will be a separate page of the Tretyakov Gallery website. Their work is led by Tatyana Gafar, head of the development service for small museums at the Tretyakov Gallery.

The second group is engaged in multi-format multimedia projects thematically related to the works and life of Leo Tolstoy. They work together with Fyokla Tolstoy, head of the development department of the State Museum of Leo Tolstoy.

The course is led by Anna Kachkaeva, media critic, candidate of philological sciences, professor of the Department of Media.

“Online education”

Students master producing online education courses, learn how key market players work, learn how to competently apply for the creation of such courses, prepare “selling” announcements, and even make a teaser for their own course.

Among the platforms whose work undergraduates become directly familiar with are Courson, Netology, stepic.org, MTS Corporate University, etc.

Project “(Re)thinking the Russian Avant-Garde”

As part of this project, a special issue of the Archiproba magazine was prepared about the mass architecture of the 20s in Moscow, which even Muscovites themselves have no idea about. Tamara Muradova herself was born in one of these houses and from the very beginning of her studies at Strelka she decided to explore the problem of preserving heritage under the guidance of the theme’s director, Rem Koolhaas. The project is centered on the architecture of a constructivist residential complex on Usachevka.


Tamara Muradova, student of the topic “Preservation”:“My research has a loud name “Avant-garde” - I lured the public with it. In fact, the theme sounds like this - “Mass architecture of the 20s”, these are such proto-microdistricts of what later appeared under Khrushchev. I talked about this phenomenon of high-quality mass architecture, which still functions perfectly, but for some reason is excluded from people’s consciousness. I wanted to fill this gap, so the result of the project is a media campaign. Since I had experience creating a magazine, I thought why not do it in this format.

I will continue to work on the magazine, I want to take it to a new level so that it is periodic printed edition. This was a special issue about objects, now I want to return to my topic - intangible architecture, which is based on feelings. Although the last chapter of the diploma is devoted precisely to the spirit of the place: I think that it is not the architecture that should be preserved, it should simply be maintained, but the spirit of the place.”

Project "Belyaevo Forever"

A Polish student submitted a book application for the inclusion of the Moscow district of Belyaevo in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In his project, he studied how intangible heritage affects the visible shell - architecture. Unremarkable residential area Belyaevo became home to Moscow conceptualists. In his work, Snopek proposed preserving the area not because of the uniqueness of the architecture, but because of the valuable intangible component that the place has.


Kuba Snopek, Conservation student:“My project is an application for inclusion of the Belyaevo region into UNESCO sites. I researched Moscow conceptualism: it turned out that it is associated with residential neighborhoods - and Belyaevo, in particular.

I really like Moscow. Previously, I worked in Copenhagen and studied in Spain. If you compare these places with Moscow, then here it is the most pleasant. And there are opportunities everywhere. The most important thing is to like the environment, the city, and cultural life. I don’t know yet what will happen next. If possible, I will stay at Strelka. Research is constantly being carried out here, I would like to participate in it.”

Research “Historical Heritage in Russia, Hidden Opportunities”

Anna Shevchenko's project is a study that is dedicated to heritage in a broad sense. Some regions of Russia have natural resources, others have a high population density, and others have a good climate, but there are several territories in which, according to the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, there is no heritage at all. These are the 5 poorest regions of the country: Transbaikalia, Tuva, Kalmykia, Altai and the Jewish Autonomous Region. During his expedition to Far East, the author of the project tried to find something valuable there from a heritage point of view and made a documentary about it all.


Anna Shevchenko, student of the topic “Preservation”:“When we were sent on field research, I went to Birobidzhan. It seemed to me that the video report would adequately convey my feelings about the place. The project can be partly called a documentary film.

We did not have the task of making a project with further practical application. But it seems to me that any project should begin with research. Before Strelka, I worked at the General Plan Institute, and now, having studied for a year, I am not yet planning my future. I don’t have the opportunity to go abroad; the crisis is strongly felt in Russia, so the prospects are very vague.”

Study “Peace and War in Public Space”

The purpose of this project is to research social significance public spaces in Moscow: places where different social groups. According to the author of the project, the level of development of society can be understood by observing what is happening in public spaces. The more peaceful events, movements and actions take place in the public life of Moscow, the more residents will take part in the civil life of society - and this means that more important problems will be solved. The work is based on consultations with experts in the field of sociology, migration and demography of Moscow. Anna identified the most important trends in political, economic and protest sentiments in society.


Anna Butenko, student of the topic “Public Space”:“My project is a study about Moscow society. When I started making it, I didn’t understand how it applied to real architectural design. But recently, various architects I knew started asking me questions, and somehow I knew how to answer them. Then I felt that practical application my project has - especially when designing public spaces.

Last year I studied in Italy at the Domus Academy and was planning to stay there: I returned only because I really liked Strelka. My plans for the future are very different, and I have not yet decided which one I prefer. There is an option to design public spaces in Moscow. There is always an opportunity, the main thing is to create the conditions for it.”

Research “In pursuit of illusions created in the USSR”

The project of South Korean student Minku Kang is a study of what is happening in the tourist region of Sochi: from Stalin times to preparations for the 2014 Olympics. The author of the project also analyzes the impact of global construction projects currently underway in the region on its tourist attractiveness and social orientation: will the region become considered elite or will it remain an inexpensive holiday destination for exclusively domestic use?


Minku Kang, Thinning student:“I conducted this research to understand what is generally happening in modern tourist regions of Russia. I think all this will find application in my future work. The second direction of my work is a documentary about our field research, which I plan to make after my presentation.

I'm going to leave for New York in August, Rem Koolhaas suggested that I do an internship at OMA. I really want to go because I’m going to further study architecture - I’m a designer trying to become an architect, so I still have a lot of studying to do.”

Project "Moscow 2012. Collective Intelligence"

The author of the project developed a game based on the principles of crowdsourcing and analysis of problems that exist in public spaces. As part of the game, each resident has the opportunity to control appearance the area in which they exist. Participants compete by proposing various projects and negotiating their implementation. The more parties can be convinced to implement the project, the more points its author receives. The main goal of the project is to fill the lack of communication between architects, residents and those who make decisions about the construction of a particular object.


Andrey Goncharov, student of the topic “Public Space”:“On the one hand, I got a research, on the other hand, a media project. It appeared as a result of the fact that Michael Schindhelm, Yuri Grigoryan and I looked at what was coming out in the middle of the course and realized that we wanted to make a game. The project was built on the input of other members of our group, I built into the game's plot the problems of public spaces they found.

The main problem that, it seems to me, my game solves is to fill the lack of communication between users of public space, the state and developers. So far, my plans for the future are to reflect on what I’ve been doing all year and decide what I’ll do in the future.”

, cultural scientist, writer, journalist:“My overall impression of Strelka is very positive. As for the final presentation itself, it can be called very uneven, because works of very different levels were presented. But I saw projects that can be published in magazines right now. I liked Kuba Snopek’s project most of all: there was a clear idea, a clear goal, a clear method and result.

It seems to me that this institute differs from the traditional one in that it forces a person to start thinking, and this is very important. Students did not have to study the history of architecture or strength of materials. The only skill they were given was to think, ask questions, collect information and analyze. They were taught research skills.

Someone is looking for practical application for all this, but this is due to a lack of understanding of the essence of this educational institution. It was initially modeled not on OMA, but on AMO - research center at the same time, an architectural bureau that deals with theory, not practice.”

, director of the theme “Energy”:“I’m not happy with the results because I’m never happy with anything at all. When you do research, you can always know more, dig deeper. But, considering that Strelka is only a year old and that this is an experiment, I think that everything worked and that there are interesting results. For me, the most important thing is proportionality - it’s very easy to go to Holland or America, talk about Russia there, and it will be exotic. It's a completely different thing to talk about Russia in Russia and get Russian people interested, because you can tell them something that they've already known for a long time.

We want to make a book about research on all these topics; it will be a book about Russia with current data, researched and published here. This is a Russian report: about the shrinking of cities in Siberia, the energy situation, heritage issues, especially the communist one. The purpose of the book is to tell Russia about Russia.

Russia is undoubtedly looking for a path to modernization, but does not understand very well what and how to do. We're trying to answer - here's why educational program on Strelka is relevant.

"Today, the project approach is increasingly penetrating into management practice. An increasing number of organizations are beginning to view themselves through the prism of project-oriented activities. The need for professional project managers is increasingly increasing. The shortage of these specialists is also growing. Therefore, the problem of training and selection of managers is becoming more pressing projects. In this regard, questions arise about the possibility of creating a system that will facilitate the selection and formation of professionals in the field of project management."
