The demand for alumni, their high level of income and professional growth are priority indicators for us of the successful work of the Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg State University. Behind every figure in our research lies many years of intensive work by professors, curators and the entire Business School team.
We work hard to form a large and friendly GSOM SPbU Community, which unites alumni, students and professors.
Together, they not only maintain contact with their alma mater, but are also actively involved in the educational process, support each other in finding work, give recommendations, act as lecturers, mentors and tutors for students, and also gather for alumni meetings around the world. We can say that now almost no event at the Business School takes place without the participation of alumni.
