Frequently Asked Questions

How to write a motivation letter?

It’s up to a student what information they find important to include into their motivation letter and weather to write a motivation letter for each of the selected universities or one for all.

Keep in mind that a motivation letter is your only chance to introduce yourself and announce your intentions to the Selection committee.

How does academic performance influence the results of the selection?

The Committee takes into consideration both cumulative and current ratings as well as percentile. The latest published scores are taken into account.

Does the tuition discount remain upon the return to HSE?

The tuition discount at HSE remains if a student successfully passes the exams at a partner institution and has the grades transferred into the HSE – Nizhny Novgorod grading system.

Is it possible to participate in a student exchange during the last semester of a degree programme and how to defend a thesis?

Students can take part in a mobility programme during their last semester if they have an approval from the Academic Supervisor of their study programme.

Students should find out the terms of the thesis defense at their study office.

Is it possible to withdraw from the selection process at some point?

You can withdraw from a selection process at any moment, having informed International Relations Office about your decision. Do it as soon as you have made up your mind, so that the spot reserved for you could be passed on to the other student.

Is it possible to apply to a university, which is not on the list of partner institutions?

It is possible. However, a student will have to look for a programme and apply to the institution by themselves as well as cover all the expenses, including tuition fees.
