These include two undergraduate programmes—Business Administration at HSE University in Perm and Computer Game Programming and Engineering at HSE University in St Petersburg. The other four programmes are Master's programmes: Digital Marketing in Nizhny Novgorod, Economics and Business Consulting in St Petersburg, Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Telecommunications, and Theatre and Performing Arts Producer in Moscow. These training programmes will be launched in the next academic year.

Experts from the HSE Continuing Education Centre, the Master's Programme 'Artificial Intelligence', and Yandex Education have developed and published a free math handbook in data analysis (in Russian). This is the seventh online publication in a series of digital self-study textbooks dedicated to specific IT areas.

The institute will conduct fundamental and applied research in the development, analysis, and application of communication technologies with their subsequent commercialisation, as well as train development engineers for the telecom industry. Professor Evgeny Koucheryavy, Director of the MIEM Telecommunications Research Institute, has spoken to the HSE News Service about the goals, objectives, strategy and structure of the new organisation.

The new research subdivision will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of human intelligence studies. The goal is not only to investigate the brain's cognitive mechanisms but also to devise strategies for enhancing and sustaining cognitive well-being. Led by prominent Russian and international scientists, the centre will pursue several research areas with main foci on intellectual functions and their operation under various conditions, the mechanisms of language communication, bilingualism and cognitive reserve, and the role of sensorimotor systems in cognitive processes.

A new project-based learning robotics laboratory has been established at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science. Its creation stemmed from a robotics group formed at the faculty in 2021 on the initiative of alumni. The laboratory's activities will focus on developing autonomous robots capable of operating in complex and dynamic environments.

A new joint department with the Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics (INM RAS) has been established at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science. This collaboration promises to combine the scientific and educational resources of two leading research centres, enabling the training of highly qualified specialists. The department is headed by Dr Andrey Bogatyrev, a professor and Doctor of Physics and Mathematics.

In December 2024, HSE University welcomed successful candidates for tenure-track positions and postdoctoral fellowships. This year, the university strengthened its teaching and research teams with 39 international faculty members, each holding a PhD from leading international institutions such as Maastricht University, the University of Pennsylvania, École Polytechnique, Xi'an Jiaotong University, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Hunan University, and many others.

In December, a delegation from HSE University, led by Rector Nikita Anisimov, visited Japan to strengthen educational and scientific cooperation. Representatives from HSE University met with the leaders of prominent institutions in Russian studies, including Tokai University, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Hosei University, and Keio University. The visit, initiated at the invitation of the Japanese Ambassador to Russia, marked the first official visit by a delegation from a Russian university to Japan since 2022.
