The Faculty of Computer Science, established in 2014 with the support of Yandex, prepares data specialists, analysts, computer science researchers, software engineers and SE researchers. Our research teams conduct work in data analysis, machine learning, bioinformatics, computational linguistics, software engineering, process analysis, modeling and control of complex systems. Now more than 2,100 students and 60 PhD students study at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science, at the same time more than 250 faculty members and 170 researchers work here.
The involvement of future employers in training can improve the level of education, attract the best faculty members and researchers, and develop infrastructure. Therefore, the faculty constantly cooperates with large companies and banks, as well as innovative startups.
We invite companies to join the community of computer science partners.
Cooperation with the Faculty opens up the following opportunities for companies:
- access to scientific expertise and other resources of the Faculty and the University
- promotion of the employer's brand and products among applicants and their parents, students, graduates and faculty memebers
- participation in educational activities
Established formats of cooperation:
- Internships in companies by students of the Faculty
- Designing and conducting courses for students
- Organization of joint events: conferences, seminars, round tables, schools and competitions
Recommended formats for acquainting or starting cooperation:
- IT lectures - open lectures of the Faculty of Computer Science, where representatives of companies and specialists of research centers talk about developments of modern technologies

Students of the Data Science and Business Analytics double degree programme work on individual and group projects every year. We asked third-year students Kamil Alyakaev and Stas Ushakov to talk about their project. Last year, this project earned Kamil and Stas a 1C:Scholarship.
A competition of research centres looking to receive grants through the Artificial Intelligence federal project has concluded, and HSE University is among the winners. Winning centres will focus on developing new AI technologies that expand its application, overcoming existing limitations for solving applied problems and optimizing AI models.
On April 12, JetBrains Department was opened at the Faculty of Computer Science with Aleksey Mitsyuk, Associate Professor of the Department of Software Engineering as its head. The Department is a part of the School of Software Engineering. It will support a new specialization "Analysis and Software Development Tools" for third and fourth-year bachelor students.
Four people have received this award for their achievements in the field of Computer Science: two HSE University graduate students, one doctoral student, and Sergei Obiedkov, Deputy Dean for Research and International Relations at the Faculty of Computer Science.
This year, Russia’s largest science and technology festival, Geek Picnic, was held online for the first time. Despite the new format, the festival programme included all of the event’s usual key features: expert lectures, workshops, competitions, and opportunities to socialize and network with fellow tech and science enthusiasts. HSE University once again served as the festival’s content partner.
