Carnegie Mellon University Master's Degree (CMU) for Software Engineering is
almost free . If you want to learn from one of the best programs in the world, see the link below. This is a professional master degree, not for the developer, but for the program manager. People from 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 (rated by the Wall Street Journal).
The problem is in deadline. The organizers, whom I personally know, collect applications for 15 seats until April 21, so we must hurry. However, since the organizers want to choose from worthy candidates, the real deadline: until May 1!

UPDATE :
Congratulations to the 15 winners of the Contest! innopolis.ru/university/rezultaty_konkursa I wonder how many people from the winners learned about the Contest of this post in Habré?

The program is full-time. Education is 1 year (3 semesters) and almost everything will take place at CMU, in Pittsburgh, USA. The organizers would like to spend part 3 of the semester in Russia, but so far without commitment. However, next year they will definitely spend the 3rd semester in Russia, and then they will be fully trained under the CMU program in Russia.
Program Manager - prof.
David Garlan , now in Moscow and holds meetings and lectures in the companies mail.ru, Parallels, ABBYY, Yandex and others. David Garlan is a really cool guy: he
has a hirsch index = 56 .
The main problem when submitting documents: TOEFL, which is necessary for obtaining a student visa, you must have or pass. (GRE, as I learned from private comments, you can not give up, and his absence will redeem the presence of good experience). A TOEFL urgently needs to be done, since there are almost no places to pass in April. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the TOEFL iBT in April will not pass, but there are still many cities where this test can be taken in April: Astrakhan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Izhevsk, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Saratov, Smolensk, etc.
There it is somewhat difficult to formulate: indicated as hiring employees for the university. The process is organized in such a way that employment is first offered at the Innopolis University. You enter into an agreement with Univer and according to him, as an employee, you travel to the United States for advanced training. If you break the contract before the expiration of 2 years after 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 they should help to teach the next generations of students at Innopolis University. See
“Member Obligations” .
This is indeed a rare chance, since it is almost impossible to get onto the
Master of Science in Information Technology - Software Engineering program
from CMU , even at its full cost. Over the past five years, on this program, unlike most of the scientific ones, there was not a single person from Russia, as they simply did not make it 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 my application for this program.
