years, which is very convenient for working people), you additionally improve English and start to understand all near-professional terminology pretty well + you automatically upgrade listening through online lectures, i.e. Wednesday immersion every day for an average of 4 hours should be very effective. Lots of reviews, all reddit is filled with information (and rather ambiguous, but at least it is there)
Cons: I'm not sure if the program is strong, even if you study only special subjects and nothing more.

The new RANEPA Data Science program (google, the link does not allow to insert):
Pros: They promise internships in good companies. Guarantee the study of special items with a pro. Creating a good portfolio of more or less real projects. You can take a loan for education in savings at a meager percentage and stretch payments over 10 years. Education in a native and understandable system. You can also complete a second degree in economics in France, also remotely, a double degree program (although you won’t take a loan for it). In the diploma from the RANEPA there will be a mark: full-time (and this is surprising, because before this was considered absentee).
Cons: study a second foreign language (Spanish or German), history, philosophy, obzh, etc. Also, there is no certainty that the program is strong, because. many hours in the program are devoted to unnecessary items. You can't stretch learning. There is no information from students anywhere, although it seems like already in 2020 they had a set, judging by the advertisement in August.

Well, there are common disadvantages for both: it is not clear how our and foreign employers relate to such education.

Answer 1

also remotely, a double degree program (although you can’t take a loan for it). The diploma will have a mark: full-time (and this is surprising, because before this was considered part-time).

It's like eating remotely. It is best to pay for this with the remote smell of banknotes.
