How to use your certificate(s):
First, you need to register your personal online account. After that, please upload an international certificate you obtained and the number of points you scored in the section "Select the date and time of testing".
In the case of holding Cambridge certificates (CAE, CPE, etc.), you must provide the Candidate ID number and the code number (four digits). This information can be obtained at the test centre or in the confirmation of registration for the examination.
Please note: a scanned copy of your certificate must be uploaded to your personal account in order to be recognized by HSE University. Please note that the original certificate will be required for your enrollment: in case of in-person enrollment you will need to submit the original document to the Admissions office, and in case of online enrollment - to your programme's educational office.
