FAQ

Will my degree be the same as the traditional degree?
Absolutely. After you pass all your exams and defend your graduation thesis, you will be awarded a state-recognized Master’s diploma.

What are the prerequisites for the program?
You need basic knowledge in machine learning (understanding of basic algorithms, model training, and current AI trends) and experience in developing digital products (SaaS solutions, mobile apps or web services; product life cycle and product metrics). It is advisable to know how to deal with data and analytics, understand UX/UI principles, and have experience of communicating with developers.

How will I write and defend my thesis?
There are several thesis options to choose from. For example, you can opt to work on a project for a partner company or launch your AI startup or AI product.

Will I have the same perks as students of other programs?
Our students are entitled to the same benefits as students of non-online programs, including reduced tariffs on public transport, discounts at stores, museums, and many others.

Can I apply if I have no relevant background?
Yes, you can. You need to pass an entrance exam or win a competition to enroll exam-free.

The program is described as remote, but its format is indicated as full-time. What does it mean?
The full-time format means you’re required to attend lectures, internships, as well as interim and other exams. Our program, however, allows students to do all that remotely. In-person attendance is required for the BootCamp (the first week of September), as well as some hackathons and intensive classes (optional).
