Pavel Melnikov, head of the television department at the Higher School of Journalism (VShN), helps future  journalists take their first steps in the profession. For 15 years, Pavel Yevgenyevich worked as a correspondent for Rossiya 1, and in 2016 he was awarded the Moscow Prize for his coverage of the city's historical and cultural events. After years in television, he joined what he calls  the "best university in the world" to pass on his experience to young journalists by creating a unique newsroom workshop where students can feel like part of a real editorial team.

The Journalism program at HSE University was launched in 2007. Since then, much has changed: the Institute of Media has been established, and the curriculum has been enriched with new disciplines. We sat down with the program’s Academic Supervisor, Professor at the Institute of MediaIvan Knyazev, to discuss the program’s recent changes, its future tracks, and the secrets about managing a program that launched nearly 40 new courses in just two years.

The «Media Communication» program at the Institute of Media is led by a unique dual leadership: Academic Head Irina Petrovna Kumanova and Creative Head Yulia Sergeevna Apollonova. In the interview, we discuss the secrets of their harmonious partnership, the distinctive features of the program, and why the Institute of Media is the premier choice for aspiring media professionals.

Choosing a career path is one of the most important decisions in the life of every high school graduate. In an era where information is becoming the main resource and the media industry is rapidly developing, a quality education in media communications is becoming particularly valuable. But what makes this programme so successful? What opportunities does it open up for applicants, and what does the educational process look like through the eyes of students?

Every applicant dreams of having a rich and successful student life. And it's possible! Year after year, students of the Journalism Educational Programme (EP) continue to prove that university education is not just about attending lectures and seminars, but also an opportunity to unlock your potential, make new acquaintances, and realize your ambitions.
