Earn an online master’s degree in applied data analytics with an emphasis on network analytics from Forbes’ #1 ranked Russian university.
In the world today, decision-making in all forms is increasingly data driven. Through this program, you’ll learn about the unique, highly in-demand area of data analysis—an overarching science that encompasses the complete management of data, including data collection, organization, storage, and all the tools and techniques of the broader field of data analysis.
Networks are everywhere, taking the form of the internet and other infrastructure networks; social, political, and economic networks; scientometric and text-representational networks; as well as food webs and molecular-level biological networks. Network analysis is a special field focused on analysis of relational data.
Throughout this program, you’ll become familiar with the process of examining, transforming, and arranging a given data set in specific ways for a specific purpose. And by participating in hands-on project work, you’ll have the opportunity to map real problems into formal statistical models and compute inferences. Following completion of the program, you’ll be well-equipped to comprehend diverse types of data, and will be informed to make better decision-making.
Become one of the few professionals in the world learning the latest network skills from a networks laboratory and learn how to analyze rich relational data for any purpose. You will learn the state-of-the art tools of network analysis, including social network analysis, currently in high demand in all areas of business, government and academia.
The school is an international research laboratory, the International Laboratory for Applied Network Research (The ANR-Lab), a semi-independent unit within the Faculty of Social Sciences at HSE University. Originally opened as a research center in 2014, it has since become the largest network science think-tank in Russia.
This program approaches statistics education from an applied perspective: map real problems into formal statistical models and compute inferences through hands-on project work. You’ll participate in regular webinars that support all educational courses and participate in project work in small groups under the supervision of a practitioner, as well as working closely with your on- and offline classmates.
