How to get a Masters degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Software Engineering almost free

    It is possible to obtain a Master's degree from Carnegie Mellon (CMU) in Software Engineering almost free of charge . If you want to learn one of the best programs in the world, see the link below. This is a professional master degree, not for a developer, but a program project manager. Natives of it often fall into the position of CTO. The program is considered one of the best and most sought after in the world, as graduates:
    • receive the highest starting salaries in the IT industry compared to graduates from other universities in the world,
    • have an absolute competitive advantage in the labor market among recruiters (according to the Wall Street Journal rating).

    The problem is the deadline. The organizers, whom I personally know, collect applications for 15 places by April 21, so you need to hurry. However, since the organizers want to choose from worthy candidates, the real deadline is: until May 1! innopolis.ru/university/priem_zayavok_na_obuchenie2

    This news is for those who are interested in studying abroad and are able to quickly respond to new opportunities that can turn their lives around.

    UPDATE : Congratulations to the 15 winners of the Contest! innopolis.ru/university/rezultaty_konkursa Interestingly, how many people from the winners learned about the contest of their post on Habré?


    Full-time program. The training is 1 year (3 semesters) and almost everything will take place at CMU, in the city of Pittsburgh, USA. The organizers would like to spend part 3 of the semester of study in Russia, but so far without commitments. However, next year they will definitely spend the third semester in Russia, and then they will be fully trained under the CMU program in Russia.

    Program Manager - prof. David Garlan , now in Moscow, holds meetings and gives lectures at mail.ru, Parallels, ABBYY, Yandex, etc. David Garlan is a really cool dude: he has a hirsch index of 56 .

    The main problem when applying for documents: TOEFL, which is necessary to obtain a student visa, must be present or pass. (GRE, as I learned from private comments, can not be surrendered, and its absence will atone for the presence of good experience). But TOEFL needs to be urgently done, as there are almost no places for change in April. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, TOEFL iBT cannot be passed in April already, but there are still many cities where this test can be passed in April: Astrakhan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Izhevsk, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Saratov, Smolensk, etc.

    It is somewhat difficult to formulate: designated as hiring employees for the university. The process is organized in such a way that employment is first provided at the Innopolis University. You enter into an agreement with Univer and, as an employee, go to the United States for further training. If you terminate the contract before the expiration of 2 years at the end of the program, you must reimburse the costs. In the process, you can work on research projects or with companies in Russia. And the next generations of students at Innopolis University should help to teach. See “Member Obligations” .

    This is a really rare chance, as the CMU Master of Science in Information Technology - Software Engineering program, even at its full cost, it is almost impossible to get. Over the past five years, on this program, unlike most scientific ones, there was not a single person from Russia, as they simply did not get because of the huge competition (there are many more than 100 applications for a place). I wish good luck to all who dare, and will submit their application for this program.
