Computer Science programme of the Summer University provides unique opportunities for students from around the world. The programme covers various topics in Computer Science from purely theoretical to applied and practical. Theoretical side of the programme includes both a detailed introduction to the theory of computations and more advanced topics in Artificial Intelligence and Statistical Diagnosis. Practical aspects of the programme are tightly integrated with theoretical material. Participants of the programme will have an opportunity to apply the new knowledge in their own programming experience, for example, in processing of natural languages, creating a distributed computing system or implementing a compiler for a programming language.

The HSE Faculty of Computer Science, where international specialists teach alongside Russian professors and one Master’s programme in System and Software Engineering is taught entirely in English, has launched a public colloquium.
