Every year, in response to IT industry demands, the Higher School of Economics Faculty of Computer Science launches new educational programmes while updating existing ones. In 2026, the faculty introduced Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes in robotics for the first time.
On February 4–5, 2026, the HSE BRICS Competition Centre, together with the Egyptian Competition Authority, held a meeting of the BRICS Working Group for the Research of Competition Issues in Food Markets in Cairo.

In January 2026, HSE University hosted a discussion titled ‘Development and Urban Planning: Which Specialists Is the Market Waiting For?’ The event marked the launch of a new Bachelor’s programme in Development and Urban Planning created by the HSE Faculty of Urban and Regional Development in partnership with a consortium of developers.
In the 1970s–80s, the Soviet Union made an unexpected discovery: in a society built on collectivist ideals, loneliness had become a significant social problem. In his study, Mikhail Kulagin, a postgraduate researcher at the HSE Faculty of Humanities, shows that the state not only acknowledged this paradox but also attempted to solve it through special ‘social technologies’ —including dating clubs, newspaper personal advertisements, and even early computer matchmaking systems.
Eating habits can be shaped not only by the authority of medical experts but also through ordinary conversations among friends.

The study's findings have been published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
Michael Appiah, from Ghana, is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the International Laboratory of Intangible-Driven Economy at HSE University–Perm.

Michael told the HSE News Service about the academic journey that led him to HSE University, his early impressions of Perm, and how AI can be utilised to combat climate change.
What path does one have to follow to become a theoretical mathematician? Is there such a thing as a ‘mathematical personality’? And is it really true that all mathematicians are a bit eccentric? Valery Gritsenko, Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Head of the International Laboratory for Mirror Symmetry and Automorphic Forms, talks about 13-year-long referee reports and good films about mathematics.
The HSE University Moscow Tikhonov Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM) has established a new Department of Cybersecurity. This move consolidates MIEM’s educational, scientific, and expert resources in information and computer security, expands its portfolio of educational programmes, strengthens partnerships with industry leaders, and enhances HSE’s position as a leading centre of cybersecurity competence.
HSE University and the InfoWatch Group of Companies marked the start of a new stage in their collaboration with the signing of a new agreement. The partnership aims to develop educational programmes and strengthen the practical training of specialists for the digital economy. The parties will cooperate in developing and reviewing curricula, and experts from InfoWatch will be involved in teaching and mentoring IT and information security specialists at HSE University.
Student Voices
HSE has broadened my academic perspective and deepened my interest in research. It has helped me become more confident in my skills, more open to interdisciplinary work, and more determined to contribute meaningfully to the field of language education and applied linguistics.
I liked the approach that always challenged you to learn more. Every course encouraged us to do some research on our own. My research skills helped me a lot in my career.
HSE has a lively and international academic atmosphere that encourages critical thinking and interdisciplinary learning. I like how classes are structured to promote discussion rather than just passive learning. There’s a strong emphasis on research, so students are encouraged to explore their own interests and develop analytical skills.
The HSE alumni network has been incredibly supportive. It connects students and professionals from around the world who share similar experiences. I’ve met many alumni who have offered advice, mentorship, and even research collaborations, both in academia and industry.
I chose HSE University because of its academic excellence and international recognition. The university offers a strong Russian language programme and many opportunities for personal and professional growth.
One of the things I find truly unique about the academic process at HSE is the composition of the teaching staff: it is a balanced mix of theorists and practicing professionals.
HSE University offers a globally competitive curriculum and has strong collaborations with international institutions. The research opportunities and the chance to work on real-world projects were key factors that motivated me to choose my programme at HSE.
