UNDEGRADUATE
We invite students to consider undergraduate study at HSE in Moscow — this is one of the most selective programs in Russia, with endless study abroad locations, research labs and graduate school preparation — all this at a very affordable cost. Faculty of Economic Sciences has a lot of programs for those who can study in Russian and a few in English. International students pay the same tuition fees as Russian students, and are provided with safe dormitory accommodation in Moscow, which makes study at HSE very affordable. Check more on undergraduate opportunities at our leaflet
At the moment four undergraduate programs at HSE Moscow campus are taught entirely in English —in economics (provided by International College of Economics and Finance) and international relations (provided by the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs), management and digital innovation (provided by the Faculty of Business and Management) and applied data analysis (provided by the Faculty of Computer Science), giving students the opportunity to earn undergraduate degrees from HSE and the University of London (London School of Economics and Political Science).
To study in these programs, the students can have no knowledge of Russian at all, just be interested in the field of study and a willingness to study in Moscow. Here are some answers to the question why they may be willing to do so. Online registration is open at this page https://admissions.hse.ru/en/undergraduate-apply

We offer two master’s programs are taught entirely in English:

They need to have strong quantitative skills, solid mathematics background, be interested in finance and economics, and be willing to study in Moscow.
