Doctoral School of Political Science

Our Doctoral School was founded as an essential tool to build and unite a school of political science at HSE. It is intended to help doctoral students become part of this school and to understand the best practices and examples of research from global science that their instructors strive to master and develop at our university. All together, we can and should create not only the country’s best academic community of political scientists, but a scholarly tradition that would occupy a position of authority globally.

Doctoral Students Need the Support of Not Only Their Academic Supervisor, but Also of Other Faculty Staff
To successfully defend a doctoral dissertation, PhD candidates need not only the support of their academic supervisor and close friends and relatives, but also system-wide assistance from the university department or faculty where they study. However, HSE University researchers have found that such support can take different forms and that each has a different effect on how confident a student feels in their ability to successfully defend their dissertation. The results of their study were published in the journal Higher Education Quarterly.
