Russian School of Management with a Global Focus Saint Petersburg University Graduate School of Management is located in the city founded in 1703 as the Russia’s “window to Europe” by the outstanding Russian reformer – Peter the Great. In March 1697 he became the first Russian Tsar to undertake a historic trip to several Western European countries which resulted in systemic reforms of the Russian state.

Those reforms gave rise to Russia’s global competitiveness – and today one might call this strategy on Peter the Great’s part as “going global”.

Professor Valery S. Katkalo Vice-Rector, St.Petersburg University and Dean, Graduate School of Management

This historical excursus may be a good metaphor to introduce you to St. Petersburg University GSOM. It was started from scratch in 1993 as the first business school inside a major national university in order to support Russia’s transition to a market economy, and in partnerships with Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley and several international and local companies, led by Procter & Gamble. After 18 years of dynamic growth GSOM today is the leading and most internationally recognized Russian business school, and is pressing forward with strong support from the Russian government and national and global business communities to become a world-class school of management.

While in the time of Peter the Great the main subjects for Russians to study abroad were shipbuilding and military science, in the 21st century advances in management and human capital factor are key to the country’s economic growth and competitiveness. We at Saint Petersburg University GSOM present learning opportunities in a large spectrum of degree programs in management – from Bachelor to EMBA. All these programs are designed and delivered (many of them in English) in collaboration with leading international business schools, especially those belonging to the CEMS, PIM, GBSN, EABiS, and GRLI global networks where our school is the only Russian member.

Faculty development and research capabilities are top priorities for the implementation of GSOM’s ambitious competitive strategy. Our faculty is well known for its teaching excellence, and research productivity (measured by publications in top international journals) is growing at an impressive rate.

Our school is also unique in having its own (and the largest) collection of Russian cases registered at ECCH. Among the main foundations for GSOM’s further growth are its traditionally strong and diversified corporate connections.

About 150 companies provide internships for our students.

Many Russian and international business leaders are guest speakers at GSOM, provide other valuable resources for its development, and recruit its graduates.

This brochure will provide you with more information on St.Petersburg University GSOM. I would like to invite you to become part of this innovative international institution – as a student, an academic colleague or a corporate partner.

Saint Petersburg University Graduate School of Management gives you a truly modern level of education.

This is an engaging and equally practical approach, deeply adapted to the participants’ needs. Special value lies in the ability to provide solutions not to the current issues only but to the future challenges as well.

The world management practice is treated not as a set of ready-made recipes, but as a landmark for constructing your personal managerial toolbox on the basis of the knowledge consistency distinctive of the university.

I have the warmest and vivid memories associated with the School. An important aspect for professional analysis and consulting is that study at GSOM develops a systemic and holistic approach to management.

Secondly, it’s a perfectly functioning system of various internships, which allows you to develop yourself and choose career path suiting you best.

To obtain a business education I have chosen Saint Petersburg School of Management (GSOM). Among other advantages, this leading Russian business school has a strong faculty. At the end of study, we had a good opportunity to apply our theoretical knowledge in practice, in my case, during internship in London. It was incredibly useful learning experience.

When choosing where to get my business education I had no questions – to be exact, no doubts. Only Saint Petersburg University Graduate School of Management. Firstly, because of Saint Petersburg University, and secondly, because of Graduate School of Management – brands, which are both well-known and recognized. Two years of study broadened my view on what I did earlier in the practice of business management, and increased the level of my professional managerial expertise.

Yulia Zakharova JFC Group, St. Petersburg General Director (President) I am sure that MBA education is a drastically new stage in the career of any executive. Regularly communicating to many leading top managers of other companies I’ve observed, that those who study or studied in the GSOM EMBA program advisably differ from others.

The program gave me an opportunity to apply knowledge I got to JFC practices, and intercourse with the classmates motivated my self-development.

Prior to my education at GSOM my professional career was not related to business. The School not only formed my perspective on this new area, but gave me a practical toolbox and methods to run business the way it should be run. My choice of educational institution was in many respects influenced by the fact that the school was created on the basis of the oldest university in the country which guaranteed high quality of the teaching process supported by the right balance of tradition and innovation.
