Why HSE?
HSE is one of the largest Russian universities that educates students at the main educational Bachelor's and Master's programmes. HSE university traditionally attracts students both from the post-Soviet space and from far-abroad countries - for example, in 2019, foreign students from Morocco, Syria and Ghana were first accepted to the Perm campus.
