Testimonials from students
I’m 34, married with two kids, and working. I can only study online. At the beginning of 2022, I learned about the HSE Online master’s program, reviewed the program and faculty, and applied immediately after the online meeting with Irina Ivashkovskaya.
My background is in sports, but I currently work in finance. Summer courses helped me integrate faster into the educational process.

Artyom Gordeev
Master of Business Analytics graduate
I’m an internal auditor and sustainability ambassador at Gazprombank. I chose online education because it’s the only possible format for me: work at the bank during the day, mom duties at night. I’ve always wanted to study at HSE, but didn’t understand how to manage it with an irregular work schedule. This program made it possible!
I’m grateful to our teachers for 24/7 support and case discussions. I enjoyed connecting with professionals from other banks and industries — including consulting, my former field.

Yulia Aminova
Master of Business Analytics graduate
I graduated from a university in Italy and always wanted to continue my education in Russia. Choosing HSE and the "Marketing Management" master’s fully met my expectations. The program offers practice-oriented seminars where students actively apply knowledge to real cases.
Moreover, the online format was crucial for me — it allows combining study with work and supports busy people in their development.

Fabrizio Marmo
Marketing Management graduate
I previously studied at HSE on-campus, so I can objectively compare online and classical programs. My lifestyle doesn’t allow me to stay in one country for long. I travel constantly, which makes on-site attendance impossible.
"Economic Analysis" is one of the few programs that allows studying from anywhere in the world and is fully online. I’m not afraid of missing a class — I’ve attended lectures from the hospital, beach, and even during a hike in the Alps.

Milena Grishchenko
Bachelor’s in Economic Analysis
My program is full-time online. Convenient if you work, study elsewhere — like me — run a business, or live abroad. Lectures are recorded, and you can attend from anywhere. Just put an earbud in — and you’re in class. Super convenient.
Practice-oriented knowledge backed by strong theory — that’s why HSE is the right choice. Plus, for the community — where students fiercely debate material interpretation, live student life, and grow personally.

Now I’m in the second semester. The workload is solid, lots of group projects, and constant online seminars. The main thing is — it’s not just lectures but real learning! There are project labs with real practice from top Russian companies. For example, in my lab, we worked with Severstal representatives, studied and analyzed ESG practices, and learned how to apply them in current realities.

Another major plus — we have the same opportunities as on-campus students: access to online resources, student ID, attendance records, general lectures, academic mobility, and more.
