Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences

In 1995, an active activity began. The uniqueness of the University of Manchester in Moscow was that its founders set a goal - to form an educational institution in Russia that could be on a par with the world's leading higher educational institutions.

Another feature of the school was that it was ahead of the development and transformation of the Russian educational system. The point is that 6 years before the Bologna system (bachelor's and master's degrees) began to penetrate into Russian universities, it was already in full operation at the Moscow School of Economics and Social Sciences.

In order to turn Shaninka to European educational standards, initially her teaching staff was formed by Russian teachers of the humanities who were successfully trained in foreign educational institutions. The training process was and is being carried out using current foreign methods.

Every year, for more than 20 years, up to 300 students study at the school, since the enrollment of students is limited.

At the age of 11, he and his mother were exiled to the Altai Territory, where they lived until the onset of the amnesty. After that he moved to live in Samarkand, then to Lodz and then to the French capital.

In 1951 he entered the Jerusalem University College of Social Work, where he studied for a year. Upon graduation, he began working in the sociological field.

In 59, he again entered training, but already at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem at the Faculty of Sociology and Economics. Graduation took place in 1962.

Since 1974, Theodore Shanin has been a professor of sociology at the University of Manchester.

Conclusion

The University of Manchester in Moscow is a kind of branch that provides education in Russia, but with the issuance of a foreign diploma. Shaninka students undergo training abroad. Frequent trips to the Geneva Business School, to the University of Manchester in England, to New York.

Studying at MSSES is the prospect of obtaining a European education and a decent life.

In April 1824, several Manchester businessmen and industrialists met in a High Street pub and decided to found the Manchester Institute of Mechanics, where artisans and artisans could study the basics of the natural sciences in their spare time, mainly mechanics and chemistry. Of the hundreds of similar institutions created in those years, it turned out to be the only one that later became an independent independent university.

56 years after this event, in April 1880, Queen's University was established in Manchester, which initially functioned on the basis of Owen's College, founded in 1851 by the textile manufacturer John Owen, and from 1905 to 1993 Manchester was annexed to it. Institute of Mechanics. In 1903, the faculties of commerce and theology were added to the faculties of art, science, law, medicine and music, in 1914 - the faculty of education, and in 1965 - the faculty of business administration. The School of Biological Sciences was established in 1986. Many important scientific discoveries of the 20th century were made within the walls of the university: Rutherford conducted research on the atom here, and the first modern computer was built here about 50 years ago.

From 1993 to 2004, the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) was separated from the University as an independent university. But on October 1, 2004, by decision of the administrative councils of UMIST and the University of Manchester, they reunited, and the final merger of the two universities took place and the formation of a single university.

Today, the University of Manchester is one of the best research universities in the UK - Russel Group, with large investments in technical equipment and development of student infrastructure. Between 2004 and 2016, £ 750 million was invested in the creation and equipping of high-tech centers alone.

In 2015, a completely new student space for study and recreation was commissioned, available to students around the clock - Alan Gilbert Learning Commons (with a total investment budget of £ 23 million). It is equipped with computer labs, copy centers, group study rooms, cafes, recreation areas, and Wi-Fi access is provided throughout the complex. The multifunctional complex is within walking distance of the University Library, John Rylands, which is one of the five national research libraries in the UK and has more than 4 million printed books and manuscripts, 41,000 e-journals and 500,000 e-books. According to BBC readers' polls, it is one of the 10 most beautiful libraries in the world. And the Museum of Manchester, part of the university's infrastructure, has the largest collection of Egyptology in the United Kingdom, numbering 16,000 items.

The campus is located in the heart of Manchester, one of the largest cities in Great Britain with a unique architecture, cultural and business life. In addition to the excellent study conditions, students have a variety of sports arenas at their disposal: the Manchester Aqua Center, the Manchester Velodrome, a boat station, a sports campus, and four large sports centers offering a variety of sports.

It is worth noting separately the student union of the University of Manchester, which is rightfully considered the largest in the UK. Under his leadership, a student newspaper with a circulation of 20,000 copies is published and the student radio station FUSE-FM broadcasts. On the territory of the union there are recreation areas, cafes, a space for classes, and there are also a number of communities of interest, from the society of artists to the society of future businessmen. This is not just a union - it is a whole organism, for the maintenance of which the university allocated £ 4 million from 2012 to 2016, and the complete reconstruction of which should be completed by 2018.

The upcoming development plans for the University of Manchester include an investment of £ 1 billion to create a world-class campus. The first stage of construction is planned to be completed by 2019. It will be a new engineering campus, new training centers for the law school, business school and medicine school. According to the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester, Professor Nancy Rothwell: "We strive to create a solid foundation for further improvement and achievement of our goal of becoming one of the top 25 universities in the world by 2020."

Perhaps one of the advantageous features of the university is the huge range of specialties offered, for 2016 there are more than 1000 of them. Among the most popular engineering programs, for example, is the "Oil Industry", the duration of which is 4 years, and the training ends with a degree Master of Science in Engineering. It should be noted that graduates of such specialized specialties are highly valued in the international labor market. 94% of graduates of all specialties find a job within 6 months or continue their studies. However, the competition for a place in all specialties is very high.

On average, undergraduate programs at a university last 3-4 years (but there are exceptions). Upon graduation, depending on the faculty, the student is awarded a degree: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Social Sciences, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Law, Bachelor of Engineering. The duration of master's programs in most cases is 12 months, and after their successful completion, students receive the following academic degrees: Master of Arts, Master of Social Sciences, Master of Science, Master of Law, Master of Engineering, Master of Business Administration, Master of Business and Entrepreneurship.
A wide range of postgraduate programs are also offered, after which students receive degrees: Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Business Administration. The most common of these is the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program, usually a 3-year program designed for students who decide to devote themselves to research and teaching. The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is an intermediate degree between master's and doctoral studies. The duration of the program is 2 years, however, after the successful completion of the first year, you can continue to study at the Doctor of Science. Doctor of Business Administration (DBA / MBS) is a program for successful executives with at least 6 years of experience in executive positions who want to improve their qualifications. The duration of the program is 5 years. The program is notable for the fact that it involves learning in action. The curriculum provides an opportunity to study a real business case, and then immediately apply the knowledge gained in practice.

In 2014, the University of Manchester was recognized as one of the best universities in the world for research activities, taking an honorable 5th place according to The Research Excellence Framework (REF). 83% of research, which includes both drug development and new policy frameworks, was recognized as world-class discoveries. Due to the university's research status, physics, chemistry, geology and natural sciences are traditionally strong programs.

The ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students is 9: 1. Among the current teachers are political advisers and such world-renowned scientists as Professor Brian Cox, a renowned English physicist and a member of the Royal Society of London. A whole galaxy of talented scientists who glorified the university came out of the walls of the university: Benedict Cumberbatch (actor), Alan Turing (scientist who stood at the origins of the modern computer), James Chadwick (physicist), Henry Moseley (physicist), Jack Wathhall (comedian), James Joule (physicist), Arthur Brown (aviator), and 25 Nobel laureates. In 2010, our compatriots, Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, received the Nobel Prize for advanced research on graphene, who continue their research and teaching activities at the University of Manchester. By the decree of Queen Elizabeth II, they were awarded the title of Knights of the Bachelor. The importance of this discovery was reflected in the plans of the university administration - it intends to invest £ 61 million in the creation of the National Graphene Institute. The general list of Nobel Prize winners includes:
JJ Thomson, Physics (1906)
Ernest Rutherford, Chemistry (1908)

Excerpt from the University of Manchester

The count recalled his missed wolf and his encounter with Danila.
“However, brother, you are angry,” said the count. - Danila did not say anything and only smiled shyly, childishly meek and pleasant smile.

The old count drove home; Natasha and Petya promised to come at once. The hunt went further, since it was still early. In the middle of the day, the hounds were allowed into a ravine overgrown with a young, dense forest. Nikolay, standing on the stubble, saw all his hunters.
Opposite Nicholas there were greenery, and there stood his hunter, alone in a hole behind a prominent hazel bush. The hounds had just been brought in, Nikolai heard the rare rut of a dog known to him - Voltorn; other dogs joined him, now falling silent, then again starting to drive. A minute later they gave a voice from the island to the fox, and the whole flock, having fallen, drove along the screwdriver, towards the greens, away from Nikolai.
He saw galloping survivors in red hats along the edges of an overgrown ravine, he even saw dogs, and every second he waited for a fox to appear on the other side, on the green.
The hunter, who was standing in the pit, set off and released the dogs, and Nikolai saw a red, low, strange fox, which, fluffing up a pipe, hurriedly rushed through the greens. The dogs began to sing to her. As they approached, the fox began to wag in circles between them, making these circles more and more often and circling around itself with a fluffy pipe (tail); and then someone's white dog swooped in, and after it a black one, and everything mixed up, and the dogs became a star, with their backs apart, slightly hesitating. Two hunters galloped up to the dogs: one in a red cap, the other, a stranger, in a green caftan.
"What it is? thought Nikolay. Where did this hunter come from? This is not an uncle. "
The hunters fought off the fox and for a long time, without hurrying, the footmen stood. Near them on chumburs stood horses with their saddle ridges and dogs lay. The hunters waved their hands and did something to the fox. From the same place, the sound of a horn was heard - the agreed signal for a fight.
- It is the Ilaginsky hunter that is rebelling with our Ivan, - said Nikolai's striker.
Nikolai sent the stirrup to call his sister and Petya to him and walked at a step to the place where the drivers were gathering the hounds. Several hunters galloped to the place of the fight.
Nikolai dismounted from his horse, stopped beside the hounds with Natasha and Petya, who had arrived, waiting for information about how the matter would end. A hunter with a fox in toroks drove out from behind the edge of the forest and drove up to the young master. He took off his cap from afar and tried to speak respectfully; but he was pale, panting, and his face was vicious. One of his eyes was hit, but he probably didn't know it.
- What did you have there? Nikolai asked.
- How, from under our hounds, he will poison! Yes, and my bitch caught it. Go, sue! Enough for the fox! I’ll roll him like a fox. Here she is, in toroks. Do you want this? ... - said the hunter, pointing to the dagger and probably imagining that he was still talking to his enemy.
Nikolay, without speaking to the hunter, asked his sister and Petya to wait for him and went to the place where this hostile Ilaginskaya hunt had taken place.
The victorious hunter rode into the crowd of hunters and there, surrounded by sympathetic curious, recounted his feat.
The fact was that Ilagin, with whom the Rostovs were in a quarrel and process, hunted in places that belonged to the Rostovs, according to the custom, and now, as if on purpose, ordered to drive up to the island where the Rostovs were hunting, and allowed his hunter to be hunted from under other people's hounds.
Nikolai never saw Ilagin, but as always in his judgments and feelings, not knowing the middle, according to rumors about the riot and willfulness of this landowner, he hated him with all his heart and considered him his worst enemy. He was now, bitterly agitated, riding towards him, tightly gripping the arapnik in his hand, in full readiness for the most decisive and dangerous actions against his enemy.
As soon as he rode over the forest ledge, he saw a fat gentleman in a beaver cap on a fine black horse, accompanied by two stirrups, advancing towards him.
Instead of an enemy, Nikolai found in Ilagin a respectable, courteous master, who especially wished to meet the young count. Having approached Rostov, Ilagin raised his beaver cap and said that he was very sorry about what had happened; that he orders to punish a hunter who has allowed himself to bait from under other people's dogs, asks the count to be familiar and offers him his places for hunting.
Natasha, fearing that her brother would do something terrible, rode in excitement not far behind him. Seeing that the enemies were bowing amiably, she drove up to them. Ilagin raised his beaver cap even higher in front of Natasha and, smiling pleasantly, said that the countess represented Diana both for her passion for hunting and for her beauty, about which he had heard a lot.
Ilagin, in order to make amends for his hunter, urged Rostov to go to his eel, which was a mile away, which he kept for himself and in which, according to him, there were hares. Nikolai agreed, and the hunt, which had doubled in size, moved on.
It was necessary to walk to the Ilaginsky eel in the fields. The hunters leveled off. The gentlemen rode together. Uncle, Rostov, Ilagin surreptitiously glanced at other people's dogs, trying not to be noticed by others, and anxiously looked for rivals for their dogs among these dogs.
Rostova was especially struck by her beauty as a small, pure-toed, narrow, but with steel muscles, a thin pincer (muzzle) and rolling black eyes, a red-footed bitch in Ilagin's pack. He heard about the playfulness of the Ilagin dogs, and in this beautiful bitch he saw a rival to his Milke.
In the middle of a sedate conversation about this year's harvest, which Ilagin started, Nikolai pointed out to him his red-footed bitch.
- You have a good bitch! He said in a casual tone. - Frisky?
- This? Yes, this is a kind dog, catches, ”Ilagin said in an indifferent voice about his red-footed Erza, for which he gave three courtyard families to a neighbor a year ago. - So you, count, do not boast about their thrashing? - he continued the conversation he had begun. And considering it courteous to repay the young count in kind, Ilagin examined his dogs and chose Milka, which caught his eye with its width.
- This black-footed one is good at you - okay! - he said.
- Yes, nothing, jumping, - answered Nikolai. "If only a seasoned hare ran into the field, I would show you what kind of dog this is!" he thought, and turning to the stirrup said that he was giving the ruble to the one who suspected, that is, he would find a lying hare.

By the way, the home stadium of the "red devils" is located very close to the main university campus, and Manchester itself is considered the center of shopping in the north-west of England. That is, the city itself provides so many opportunities for an interesting vacation that no one will be bored.

However, at the university itself, the student community is very active and organized. You can choose from more than 100 clubs of interest and 40 sports sections. For sports, there are numerous fitness centers, stadiums, courts, playgrounds and 2 swimming pools with 50-meter lanes.

The cultural life of the university is also saturated. It has its own museum with 4.25 million exhibits, the Whitworth Art Gallery, which displays masterpieces of British watercolors, sculpture and graphics, and the popular student theater "Contact" in the city. Those interested in scientific discoveries are welcome at the Astronomical Center and other communities.
