HSE Online Courses on Coursera
Since 2016, most HSE online courses published on Coursera are offered "on-demand", which means that a learner can join in at any time, as most on-demand courses are re-launched every 4 weeks.
In February 2016, HSE launched 3 Specializations. In October 2017 three more specializations were launched on Coursera:
- Financial Instruments for the Private Investor,
- Corporate Value Creation,
- Data Structures and Algorithms (in partnership with the University of California, San Diego; Yandex),
- Introduction to Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science (in partnership with the University of California, San Diego; Yandex),
- Advanced Machine Learning (in partnership with Yandex),
- Fundamentals of Digital Marketing (in partnership with Google).
Learners also have an option to get a Course Certificate that confirms a successful completion of the course. In order to obtain such a Course Certificate a learner should pay a certain fee and pass all graded assignments in the course. Coursera offers a Financial Aid to those who cannot afford paying the fee, which has already helped thousands of HSE online course participants.
