Double Degree Programme FAQ
ICEF provides students with the special opportunity to study for two degrees, one Russian and one British, from the HSE and from the University of London. Graduates of this programme have a unique advantage in continuing their studies or in beginning their career anywhere in the world.
The programme is implemented with the academic support of the London School of Economics and Political Science, combining top Russian and British standards of higher education in economics and finance. Every year, students sit the independent examinations of the UoL International Programmes and the internal examinations of HSE.
Core subjects are taught in English; some of the subjects required for the Russian degree are taught in Russian. More information

These, along with the needed scores on an English proficiency test such as IELTS, are sufficient for registering with the University of London International Programmes for one of the four degrees offered by ICEF:
