Overview
The aim of the Data Science programme from HSE University is to train highly-qualified experts in applied mathematics, information science and data analysis.
The programme involves an in-depth study of mathematical methods of artificial intelligence models and modern methods of data analysis, mathematical and informational modeling of complex systems as well as computer realization of these methods. Knowledge and skills of graduates from this course are in demand by Russian Federation ministries and institutions, regional administrations and large companies.The concept and the curriculum of the specialization in Internet Data Analysis have been developed in conjunction with Yandex. This track involves the teaching of special disciplines by the Company staff members, the participation of students, postgraduates and lecturers in projects implementing tasks suggested by Yandex and related to its business operations, vocational training for students in Yandex and joint research carried out together with Yandex staff.
The programme includes 3 tracks:
- Internet Data Analysis
- Intelligent Systems and Structural Analysis
- Technologies of Modelling of Complex Systems
- English-taught track
After the graduation
