I am 34 years old, I have a family, two children and a job. I can only study online. At the beginning of 2022, I found out about the HSE online master’s programme, looked at the programme and the faculty. After an online meeting with Irina Vasilievna Ivashkovskaya, I applied straight away.
I have a sports education, but currently I am working with finance. There were extra courses in summer, they helped me get into the learning process quicker.

Graduate, Master of Business Analytics
I am an internal auditor and sustainability ambassador at Gazprombank. I chose the online training programme because it is the only possible format for me: I work during the day and I am a mum in the evening. I have always dreamed of studying at the Higher School of Economics, but I didn’t understand how to combine studying with my excessive workload. On this programme, I can manage!
I am grateful to our teachers for their 24/7 communication and case discussions, and I am glad to get to know my classmates who are all doing a great job because they work, study,

Now it’s the second semester. The volume of work is decent, there are a lot of group projects, and regular online seminars. The main thing is that it’s not just lectures, but real learning! There are also project laboratories with practitioners from major Russian companies. For example, I have a lab with representatives from Severstal, where we study and analyze ESG practices and how to apply them in the current environment.

I enjoy interacting with experts from other banks as well as from the industry and consultancy — my previous place of work. I think that our programme is unique, other leading universities can only be jealous. I would also like to make special mention of HSE’s educational platform, which makes it convenient to watch videos, exchange documents and stay in touch with lecturers.
