The programme is training based on real data and tasks. The teachers do not focus on the tools but teach them how to work with the available data and select the appropriate analysis methods for their processing. They can also participate in the Statistical Consulting Center's commercial projects, created by the Laboratory researchers and the programme professors. Students can engage in academic research at the HSE International Laboratory for Applied Network Analysis. The educational process is not limited to, learning theories and methods of data analysis. The program's primary goal is to teach students to use advanced statistical and network analysis methods regardless of the initial education to solve both research and practical problems.

In other words, the programme trains highly qualified data analysts for international and Russian businesses, analytical centers, and universities in Russia, the USA, and Europe. The programme trains highly qualified specialists (Data Scientists) in applied statistics and network analysis, becoming more and more in demand in business sphere, public sector, and science both in Russia and abroad.

The programme was founded by Indiana University professors Stanley Wasserman and Valentina Kuskova. It is based on the best practices of educational programmes in applied analytics universities as Indiana University and the University of Illinois in the USA. The master's programme "Applied Statistics with Network Analysis" of HSE University is based on the International laboratory for Applied Network Research ( ANR-Lab).
