Practical Training

Practical work on the  'Master of Data Science' Master's Programme may result in:

• implementation of a research project on the subject of a future thesis
• preparation of a scientific publication on a topic related to the final qualifying work
• work on other research tasks in agreement with the scientific advisor or academic advisor

Practical work itself is a first step in writing the Final thesis as it is supervised by the same professor and often done on the very same topic.

Practical work on Master of Data Science is regulated by 

Regulations on Practical Training of Students under Core Bachelor’s, Specialist and Master’s Programmes at HSE University

It is recommended to look through the Practice's plan first

Final Thesis preparation and presentation in the HSE University are regulated according to

• Regulations on Final State Certification of Students in Bachelor’s, Specialist and Master’s Programmes at National Research University Higher School of Economics
• Guidelines for the preparation of the Final thesis

Final Thesis presentation is recorded.

Among the requirements for students for the preparation of the Thesis are:

• Finding a supervisor and choosing a topic for research within the specialization "Master in Applied Mathematics and Informatics"
• Fulfillment of the objectives of the WRC on time and in accordance with general requirements
• The final version of the WRC must be uploaded to the LMS on time (the instruction to do itInstruction )

• Title page MDS 

During preparation for the Thesis, you as a student may:

• Find an academic advisor on your own (including someone from outside the Higher School of Economics) and propose your own topic within the "Master in Applied Mathematics and Informatics" specialization
• At any time, change the topic or the wording of your Final Thesis, but not not later than one calendar month before the deadline for submission of the final version. It should be re-considered together with a supervisor and then an application should be send to the Study office.
• Base the current Thesis on conclusions or considerations of a previously started research (Scientific publications, term papers, etc.). The supervisor should help to make the final conclusion about the possibility of using previous paper while writing the Thesis
