Languages in Digital Environment and Music Production: New Programmes at HSE University
The Academic Council of HSE University has established three new educational programmes. For the first time, in 2025, HSE University in St. Petersburg will enrol students in the Bachelor's programme in ‘Texts, Languages, and Digital Tools‘ and the Master's programme in ‘Applied Linguistics: Foreign Language Teaching and Translation in the Digital Environment,’ and at HSE University in Moscow—in the Master's programme ‘Producer in the Music Industry.’
The Bachelor's programme in ‘Texts, Languages, and Digital Tools‘ aims to train philologists and linguists with a proper pedagogical background, becoming specialists in the intercultural communication of the new generation who are capable of working in the IT industry while developing, implementing, and marketing educational products, and products based on linguistic data.
The programme is designed for applicants with an interest in foreign languages, intercultural communication, philology, and linguistics; for those who understand the importance of computer technology in the development of language products.
The mission of the Master's programme in ‘Applied Linguistics: Foreign Language Teaching and Translation in the Digital Environment’ in the field of ‘Fundamental and Applied Linguistics’ is to train a new generation of applied linguists in the areas of foreign language learning, language teaching, and professional communication in the fields of machine translation and language localisation.
The training programme will be fully online in Russian/English.
Both Russian and international students are invited to participate in the programme.
Another new Master's programme— ‘Producer in the Music Industry’ (fields of study ‘Media Communications’ and ‘Musicology and Applied Music’) —is being implemented by HSE University in cooperation with the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music. It combines the study of musical art, production, and management, and will be particularly attractive to applicants seeking a career in the music industry.
An important aspect of the programme is to prepare professionals for key positions in music studios, cultural organisations, and the media and entertainment industry. Graduates will leave with a wide range of skills needed to successfully manage a variety of music projects.
