Two Master’s Programmes at HSE Nizhny Novgorod Accredited by ACCA

Master’s programmes in Economics and Finance offered by the HSE campus in Nizhny Novgorod have received accreditation from the АССА (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).

Alexey Makarov, Academic Supervisor of the master’s programme in Finance, shared his view on the accreditation process and the advantages it offers HSE students.

‘The process of accreditation was launched about a year ago, and during this period, the documents we prepared passed a multi-stage approval process with ACCA institutions in Moscow and London. We are happy that the decision on our programmes was positive. These master’s programmes have been recognized by an international organization in terms of their structure, contents, and quality. Our students are getting international recognition of their skills, knowledge and competencies, which adds to their value as professionals on both the international and Russian job markets’.

The Higher School of Economics is one of our key partners, with its accredited campuses in Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow and Perm
