The Double Degree in Financial Economics with the Higher School of Economics (HSE) allows 5 Finance students to enhance their studies of Economics and Finance within a Russian context at the prestigious Moscow-based university.
The program offers a high-caliber theoretical and practical education in Financial Economics. Its curriculum is a unique blend of core courses in Micro- and Macroeconomics, Financial Econometrics, Asset Pricing and Corporate Finance, along with applied courses in various fields of Economics and Finance.
The program is structured as follows: 
- the first year (2018-19) is carried out at LUISS;
- the second year (2019-20) is carried out at HSE.
After completing the program, students receive two diplomas:
- Master’s degree in Economics and Finance issued by LUISS University;
- Master’s degree in Economics issued by Higher School of Economics (HSE).
LUISS students will be registered at LUISS during their time at HSE and will continue to pay tuition fees at LUISS. Students will be exempted from paying tuition fees at HSE.
If compliant with both universities’ rules and conditions, as for credits envisaged, attendance, deadlines, academic integrity, etc., participating students will receive two degrees, which will be issued according to each university’s procedures.
