Additional options and online courses for students

University-wide optional courses

All students have access to courses on data science methods and tools. Every year, students have the opportunity to sign up for dozens of university-wide optional courses and continuing education programmes, which help them to broaden their overall knowledge in this field, or focus on a specific product or area instead.

Students may take any optional course from the list offered at HSE University. Optional courses are taught in addition to a degree programme’s curriculum and are also available to other learners irrespective of their age and education level. The HSE Faculty of Computer Science offers its own optional courses hosted by such leading IT companies as Yandex, SAS, Parallels, JetBrains, etc.
