Degrees in business, technology, and data science will enable students around the world to prepare for in-demand jobs
The “future of work” is already here. According to the World Economic Forum, the global workforce is automating faster than expected, displacing 85 million jobs in the next five years. But this revolution is also creating 97 million new jobs across fields like data science, engineering, business development, and more. Citizens everywhere need to urgently reskill to remain competitive in the new labor market.
To help learners around the world gain job-relevant skills, we’re eager to announce four upcoming online degrees from HSE University, a renowned higher education institution in Russia.
