There are two pathways to enter the program:
1. Participation in the Olympiads, the results of which we accept for admission without portfolio competition.
First of all, these are the Higher League Olympiad of the Higher School of Economics in the "Education and Pedagogy" track "Learning and Assessment as a Science". "The Higher League" is the HSE Olympiad for all those who are interested in academic competitions. It includes many profiles, within which there are several tracks. For more information please check the following link.
The second Olympiad, the results of which count for admission, is the I am a Professional. For more information please check the following link.
2. Participation in the portfolio contest.
When the applicants' personal accounts open in June, you can start uploading your portfolio documents. But it is better to start preparing materials for your portfolio as early as possible. Look at the list -- there are creative assignments, there are documents of academic achievements, and there is evidence of your ability to learn (certificates of online courses, for example). The crucial document is the internationally recognized English certificate. We accept IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge Certificates.
