Two Skoltech PhD programs receive Hcéres accreditation

The Skoltech Computational and Data Science and Engineering (CDSE) and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) PhD programs have received full five-year accreditation in accordance with European Standards and Guidelines (ESG). The accreditation certificates were issued by Hcéres, a French educational evaluator with global recognition.

In November and December 2019, two teams of Hcéres experts visited Skoltech to make a 360-degree evaluation of the programs, assessing everything from their objectives and outcomes to human, digital and lab resources, students’ success, and job market outlook. The experts have now concluded that both programs deserve accreditation.
