There are two types of courses at HSE University:

Compulsory |
Elective |
Can I enroll for all courses I would like to take?
Exchange students are not allocated to any particular study programme or faculty and are free to take courses from any faculty at any level of study.
Things to keep in mind when choosing courses:
►Admission on a first come, first served basis;
►Should be approved by your home university;
►May have prerequisites (a Transcript of Records/a Letter of Recommendation/an entrance test);
►A course may be cancelled/postponed or the timetable may be changed due to professor’ plans changed or programme redesign:
►Make sure the courses do not overlap and you have time to travel between HSE buildings.
What if there is no syllabus of the course I want to take (or it is only in Russian)?
How can I find the timetable of the courses?
Course enrollment process is outlined in the Course enrolment scheme, spring 2020.
If you have concerns when choosing appropriate courses, please contact SIMO at international.study@hse.ru.
