Admissions

Admissions to tuition-free doctoral studies at HSE open on February 01, 2018. International students can choose from 15 PhD programmes in fields ranging from Mathematics to Art and Design. The programmes are offered at HSE campuses in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Nizhny Novgorod. It is not necessary to speak Russian in order to pursue a PhD at HSE – the thesis can be written in English. Several international students are already pursuing doctoral degrees at HSE and one of them, Keunwon Choi from South Korea, has shared his impressions with us.

International Students’ Club leader, Zhanna Shabanova, has interviewed some foreign exchange students about their experiences in Nizhny Novgorod. 

In March 2017, A+ Independent Rating Agency interviewed parents of potential students asking them which Nizhny Novgorod higher educational institution they consider the most prestigious. 250 respondents took part in the survey.

A contest for grants that will see the winner receive the opportunity to enroll in the international MA Global Business programme for free has come to a close.
