Politics, like many other areas of our lives, is undergoing radical changes. Data on citizens, organizations, and states are being collected in real-time; archives are being digitized and made publicly available; management decisions are made based on reliable information and its analysis; social networks and new digital media are becoming a key element of collective civic action - these examples illustrate how deeply digital transformation has affected politics and governance, among other areas of our lives, and show the scale of the challenges facing modern specialists. Competence in political science must go hand in hand with digital literacy, proficiency in quantitative data analysis methods, and the ability to work with large amounts of information - numbers, texts, videos, photos, and maps.
The programme responds to these challenges of our time and aims to prepare specialists who will be well-versed in current politics and complex ways of working with open data on politics. We emphasize the analytical and research component, offer extensive language training, and follow international standards in teaching and assessment so that our graduates are in demand both in the Russian and international labor markets.

All of our classes are held in seminar form. This means that the classroom becomes a place of creative dialogue and free discussion, rather than a dreary amphitheater where everyone, both the teacher and the students, fulfills their hour-and-a-half duty, struggling with boredom and sleepiness. The seminar turns the classroom into a space of individual responsibility - making students work hard at home, requiring them to hone their argumentation skills and be sensitive to other people's ideas, work with data and interpret it.
Content of the programme
The program consists of two consecutive stages of education: in the first year, students study basic disciplines that lay the foundation for their further professional training ("English language", "Writing and Critical Thinking", "Computer Science", "Economics"), and in the second to fourth years, they focus on the professional sphere."Data Analysis in Social Sciences" is a cross-disciplinary course from the first to the fourth year. Students start with learning the R programming language and mathematical analysis, then move on to the basics of regression analysis and causal inference, and after that, they study methods of analyzing qualitative data and designing field research.
