At the moment, the master's program “Management” of GSOM SPbU is part of one of the integrable rankings (Financial Times Global Mastersin Management), and in 2016 it improved its position, rising to 39th place out of 90 possible. We expect that within a few years, the rankings will also include GSOM master's program “Corporate Finance” (Master in Corporate Finance - MCF) by increasing the number of places for students, and the Executive MBA program, provided readiness of graduates of the program to share information about their income”.
