HSE has been implementing LMS (Learning Management System) — an electronic system of education process support – for several years.

Doctoral schools provide an opportunity for international doctoral students to undertake part of their study or research at HSE. The university offers two types of traineeships – research and study. The study stay involves taking courses from the HSE doctoral schools. The research stay offers the opportunity to work with a particular academic advisor or at an international research laboratory or centre; gain access to international full-text and abstract databases, journals and books; and attend graduate seminars.
An Online Payments page has been launched on the HSE website. You can now use your contract number to make online payments not only for full-degree studies, but also accommodation at dormitories, as well as continuing and business education. Note that you can only pay online if your contract is in Russian roubles. All payments in other currencies should be still made via bank transfers.
