Admissions

HSE ‘Study Tour Experience’ is a unique project for international applicants who want to experience what it's like to be an HSE master’s student. The international training internship by the HSE International Admissions Office has been functioning since 2020 in two formats (offline and online) and in two languages—Russian and English. In the autumn semester of the 2024/25 academic year, the internship will take place November 11–23. The application deadline is October 13.

For three years now, the Study Tour Experience international internship programme has been introducing foreign applicants to the master's programmes at HSE University, immersing them in the student atmosphere of their dream university.

For several years we have been giving our international applicants the opportunity to immerse themselves in the student atmosphere of the HSE University and organise the International Study Tour Experience.

From February 15 to February 20, HSE University hosted the Study Tour Experience for prospective international students of Master’s programmes. Due to the epidemiological situation, this academic year, the project was held in an online format, which allowed participants to attend lectures by all four HSE campuses within one week without even leaving their home country.

Use all online opportunities for international prospective students in 2021 to get to know HSE University and its Master's programmes!

The International Study Tour experience is currently accepting applications for February 2021. The programme is organized by the International Admissions team with the aim of giving international students an opportunity to get a glimpse of what studying at HSE University is like. Participants attend various classes in different fields of study. Last November, the programme was held online for the first time. The February round will also be held fully online, so students from all over the world can take part. Application deadline is February 8.

In November, the International Admissions team organized the first online Study Tour experience for prospective Master’s students. International students were able to attend online classes offered by different Master’s programmes and see first-hand what studying at HSE University is like. The aim of the initiative is to help international students make a more informed decision about which Master’s programme to apply to Tugrul Eroglu from Turkey, shares his experience.
