Students of the joint program "Executive MBA - Strategic Management and Leadership" of the Graduate School of Management St. Petersburg University (GSOM SPbU) and the Graduate School of Business of Almaty Management University (GSB AlmaU) take an in-house module in St Petersburg.

The "Executive MBA - Strategic Management and Leadership" program is designed for managers and owners of companies who want to reach a new level of managerial decision-making.
