HSE offers a variety of tuition fee scholarships to its international applicants for  undergraduate  and  graduate  programmes. 


Each year, HSE awards a number of full-tuition and partial scholarships**  to international students. The scholarships are merit-based and depend on  students’ entrance exam scores and portfolios.

**Please note that scholarships are not available for some programmes.

Moscow is a large city with the same safety concerns as most large cities of the world. Learn more about  what to expect while living in Moscow as an international student.  There are cases of petty crime targeting tourists, so we recommend students be aware of their surroundings and pay close attention to belongings.  For more information on safety, we recommend you review any advisories provided by your country’s embassy in Russia.
