HSE University Ranks Sixth Globally by Number of Online Courses
HSE University offers 104 online courses on Coursera and 100 courses on the Open Education platform. On Coursera, HSE University is the leading Russian university in terms of its number of course offerings. Since HSE University joined Coursera, it has had 2.5 million enrolments.
The most popular HSE courses on Coursera are ‘Essentials of Python Programming’ and ‘Learning to Learn: How to Succeed at School without Spending all Your Time on Your Studies’ (Russian-taught).
‘Programming courses have traditionally been very popular on Coursera (one of the founders of which is a programmer), and hence, Python predictably takes first place. The other course was developed together with Professor Barbara Oakley and is a top-ranking course not only among HSE’s Coursera offerings, but among all course offerings on Coursera in general,’ said Evgenia Kulik, HSE Director for eLearning. ‘The other top-ranking courses are, of course, in economics and management, a field in which HSE University is particularly strong. It is thanks to these programmes that we have entered the international market. By the way, today we offer seven specializations, and in the autumn 2019, we launched a Master of Data Science online degree programme.’
