RUSSIA – GSOM, GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, ST. PETERSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY School support: GSOM has a Career Centre to help students search for an internship. All the information about the possible companies is placed on the GSOM website, so that students may choose the most appropriate company. Contact: GSOM Career Centre Manager / CEMS Corporate Relations Manager: Elizabeth Troyanova, e.troyanova@gsom.pu.ru
Legislation: The easiest way for the student to get an internship is to be registered at GSOM for one semester (which means that GSOM is student's host school), which will provide him/her a student visa and to get an internship with the help of GSOM. A student must keep in mind that in this case he/she will be provided with accommodation in the GSOM dormitory but will not get any payment from the company for the internship. In this situation the student's citizenship will not make any difference.
Further information: On the GSOM career page here
Required documents: For GSOM to prepare the invitation for visa a student will have to send us a copy of their passport. Passport should be valid for a minimum period of 18 months from the issue date of the visa. Passport should contain at least two blank pages. It is practically always required that a student should have insurance in order to get a visa. All other documents may vary in different countries. For the company a student will have to present a CV and a special cover letter. All other documents may be required/requested by the company directly.
Company support: This highly depends on the company and can vary greatly from one situation to another. For graduates: In this case the school can help to find the company but due to Russian legislation cannot be of much help in terms of visa. Much will also depend on the company.
