The best business school in Eastern Europe

Training cross

There is a university in Russia that is one of the best business schools in the world!


Three pillars and 160 companies

– Sergey Pavlovich, Graduate School of Management, St. Petersburg State University positions itself as a school standing “on three pillars”: organizational model, international standards of business education and corporate relations. Describe them, please.

– GSOM SPbU is a full-scale university business school (in the status of a faculty of St. Petersburg State University), which gives the school a number of significant advantages, especially in terms of cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary communications.

We are proud not only of the international team of teachers of our school, but also of active cooperation with other faculties of St. Petersburg State University. So, for example, teachers of the Faculty of Philology teach with us foreign languages. For the seventh year in a row, together with the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Control Processes of St. Petersburg State University, we have been holding the international conference "Game Theory and Management" with the participation of leading researchers. Among our speakers were Nobel laureates in economics Roger Myerson, John Nash, Robert Aumann, Reinhard Selten.

GSOM SPbU was created in strategic partnership with the School of Business. Haas University of California - the world's leading business school. Our partners are 53 leading business schools in Europe, Asia, North and South America. Every year more than 350 students take part in the international exchange program.

Strong corporate ties with Russian and international business leaders and authorities state power- one of the main competitive advantage GSOM SPbGU. In 1993, we created the International Board of Trustees of the St. Petersburg State University Faculty of Management - an unprecedented, pioneering experience for Russian business schools. Since 2006, the Board of Trustees of GSOM SPbU has been headed by Sergey Ivanov, Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Our Board of Trustees includes heads of the federal government, university administration and leadership of leading foreign business schools, top managers of major Russian and Western companies. 160 companies provide GSOM SPbU students with a unique opportunity to complete internships and summer internships.

20 years of creation

– When you created a school in 1993, how did you manage to transfer it to Russian soil, and even in such a difficult period Russian history, a model of a foreign business school?

Yes, there were difficulties. I'll give you an example. In 1999, we opened Russia's first English-language master's program in management in the European ECTS standard - the program " international Business(Master in International Business, MIB)". Many probably no longer remember that in the 1990s teaching had to be conducted only in Russian. We were able to obtain permission from the Ministry of Education to conduct an experiment at St. Petersburg University. And this experiment was a success. Today, all master's programs are implemented only in English, which allows us to easily accept students from all over the world. And the first master's program became " calling card» GSOM SPbGU.

– Please tell us about the teachers of GSOM SPbU.

The school started with thirty-three students and four full-time teachers. Today, GSOM SPbU has 64 full-time teachers. More than 90% of our teachers have completed training and internships at leading foreign business schools. Teachers from other faculties of St Petersburg University and leading Russian and foreign business schools are involved in the implementation of educational programs.

Theories and practices

– A business school cannot develop only in the field of theory. Practice needed...

– Practices are also taught in all educational programs. For example, Ruslan Belyaev, the branch manager of ZAO Citibank in St. Petersburg, is a lecturer in the Department of Finance and Accounting. The Department of State and Municipal Administration is headed by Maxim Sokolov, Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation. Terenty Meshcheryakov, a lecturer in the same department, is the head of the administration of the Frunzensky district, a member of the government of St. Petersburg. Dean of the School, Professor of the Department of Finance and Accounting Andrey Kostin - President and Chairman of the Management Board of JSC VTB Bank.

In addition, the leaders of the largest foreign and Russian companies give guest lectures at GSOM SPbU. We are currently negotiating the participation of VTB Bank specialists as lecturers in the academic disciplines of the master's program and as guest lecturers.

– Which of the achievements of GSOM SPbU recent years would you like to highlight?

– 2012 was rich in achievements. I want to mention only two of them. Obtaining international institutional accreditation EQUIS. European Quality Improvement System - leading international system assessment of the quality of business schools, established by the European Foundation for Management Development. Thus, we became the first and currently the only business school in the entire post-Soviet space awarded EQUIS accreditation. And this means that Russian business education will reach the international level and be able to compete with the world's leading business schools.

And secondly, in 2012, GSOM SPbU, according to the results of the EdUniversal international rating, becomes the No. 1 business school in Eastern Europe and, for the fourth year in a row, in Russia.

Star lecturers

– Valery Gergiev is also among the lecturers who are top managers of leading Russian and foreign companies. What does Valery Abisalovich teach businessmen?

– One of the key qualities of a modern manager is strong leadership qualities. For a number of years, GSOM SPbU has been implementing the Leadership as a Way of Life project, which organizes meetings with businessmen, politicians, athletes, and cultural figures. It was in this capacity that we invited the artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev.

– What is the role of the Board of Trustees in the development of GSOM SPbU?

– Our Board of Trustees forms a strategy for the development of GSOM SPbU and attraction financial resources, participates in the development and implementation of educational and scientific programs of GSOM SPbU, promotes the integration of the best Russian and world practices into business education.

– Why was Andrey Kostin chosen as the dean of GSOM SPbU?

– Andrey Leonidovich Kostin has been a member of the Board of Trustees of GSOM SPbU since 2006, since May 2012 he has been a professor at the Department of Finance and Accounting at SPbU, since December 2012 he has been a dean of GSOM SPbU.

The election of Andrey Kostin as dean is an important stage in the development of GSOM SPbU. In fact, work as a dean is a continuation of his activity as a member of the Board of Trustees, but at a qualitatively different level. We are sure that Kostin's authority in the business community will contribute to the solution of the ambitious tasks set for GSOM SPbU within the framework of the development program of St. Petersburg State University until 2020.
