Studies under a Portion of a Degree Programme
HSE University’s students, as well as people who are not learners at the University, including persons from other academic institutions, are entitled to take an individual element/individual elements (a course or another element) from HSE University’s curriculum (hereinafter, a “curriculum element”):
- choose additional modules (MicroDegree) from those offered by HSE University—the learning process culminates in awarding a MicroDegree certificate (not constituting a degree), which attests to the acquisition of micro-qualifications by the graduate.
- select individual courses from the course catalogue—the learning process concludes with the provision of a certificate that comprehensively outlines the learning outcomes achieved.
This opportunity to undertake training as a component of the educational programme is available on a fee-paying basis.
