The viewing and defense of diploma projects have concluded, marking the end of the 2025/2026 academic season. The formal graduation ceremony took place on July 17th and 18th at the HSE Cultural Center on Pokrovsky Boulevard.
During this time, we reviewed the outcomes of several years of study, recalled the most vibrant projects, and congratulated those who will soon embark on a new professional chapter.
