Student Testimonials
I really like what I do — I have always wanted to combine programming with my mathematical background.
Going to graduate school is not so much a necessity for me as a call of the heart, because I really want to just develop in this direction. I like the program of study, it seems balanced.

Alexey Berezkin
Graduate of the program
I decided to apply to HSE because I had already studied some of the university’s courses on online platforms, and I had significantly improved my knowledge of algorithms and C++ language. So I already knew the university well, and when I saw that there was a full-fledged computer vision program, I decided to apply.
I had two main reasons to get a fundamental education. The first was interest. I wanted to delve deeper into the computer vision process. The second reason is that my friend works as a neurosurgeon. Together with her, we started working on a project, the realization of which is based entirely on computer vision technologies, but I lacked knowledge in this matter.

The program lasts for 2 years — this is a fixed term. At the end of the second year, you will defend your master’s thesis.
You will receive a state-recognized master’s degree in 01.04.02 Applied Mathematics and Informatics from HSE University. The diploma does not state that the program was completed online.
You can pay the tuition in four installments. The first payment is due when signing the study contract, and the remaining ones — before the start of each semester.
No, you don’t need to come to HSE buildings. You can submit documents and defend your thesis entirely online.
You don’t have to pay the full semester fee in advance. We’ll divide the tuition into a comfortable number of regular payments for you.
A government-supported educational loan helps students who are enrolling in paid programs. You don’t need to pay the full semester cost when entering a paid program at HSE Online — the bank will do it for you.
During your entire study period and for 9 months after graduation, you’ll pay only 3% annual interest — the remaining amount can be paid over 15 years. Book a free consultation where we’ll guide you through the loan application and answer all your questions.
