Master degree students of the Higher School of Economics and Business Analyze Current Economic Issues in English via an Intellectual Quest.

On October 16, D.M. Makhmetova, a senior lecturer at the Department of Foreign Languages, hosted an academic and practical event integrated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4: Quality Education). The session gathered the first-year Master’s degree students from the Higher School of Economics and Business (HSEB), specializing in Accounting and Audit.

The event was held in an interactive speaking quest format. As part of this intellectual challenge, the students were presented with two complex cases simulating real-world crisis scenarios in the modern economy. They were tasked not only with demonstrating their speaking proficiency but also with engineering constructive, economically sound solutions to the targeted problems in English. To successfully complete the quest, the participants were required to leverage integrated knowledge in macroeconomics, financial audit, and strategic management.

The first-year Master’s degree students successfully tackled the analytical challenges. During the discussion, the future specialists demonstrated exceptional proficiency in academic English, smooth command of specialized terminology, and deep professional competencies, confirming their readiness to solve complex managerial tasks at an international level.
