When you apply for HSE graduate programmes, you may choose one to two programmes. Once you have submitted your application, you will not be able to access it again. Only correction in the attached documents will remain possible.

Graduate programmes have different requirements for candidates.

Applicants will be selected for the programmes according to the presented portfolio. Please read the minimum portfolio requirements carefully (they are different for each graduate programme).

Before submitting the application, note that you may need to consult the 'Documents for Admission'.

Almost all programmes request a Letter of Motivation. The Letter of motivation can be written in Russian or in English.
