Paying Tuition and Dormitory Fees

Tuition Payment Deadlines

Tuition payments at HSE University are usually made in two instalments during the academic year:

● first payment – by August 25;

● second payment – by February 20.

The deadlines for payment may vary depending on the terms of the educational services agreement signed by the student in the year of their admission. Students enrolled in programmes without state-funded places can find information about tuition deadlines on the respective programme homepages.

Payment Instalments

Not available during the 2024–2025 academic year.

Payment Deferrals

In exceptional circumstances, a payment deferral may be granted, usually to allow time for arranging a loan. To apply for a deferral, you should submit a request to your programme office at least 1–2 weeks before the payment deadline, clearly stating the reason for the request. The decision regarding the application will be made by the faculty dean.
