The EMBA program of the Higher School of Business Almaty Management University and the Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg State University took the 24th place in the ranking of the world's best joint EMBA programs — QS Executive MBA Rankings 2023. In 2023, it is the only Executive MBA program in the CIS included in the rating in the "Joint" category.
“The stable position of the program in the QS Executive MBA ranking, the ranking of the Executive MBA program jointly with the Higher School of Business AlmaU, is another proof that we have chosen the right path. We are focused on international cooperation, the creation of high-quality, objective and comprehensive education, building a free dialogue and mutual support. It is valuable for us that the program that we developed together with our Kazakh partners is really important for the Kazakh and Russian education markets and the development of international business education in general. The level of students entering the program, their education and experience in the management of companies allowed the program to take the second place in the world in the category of Executive Profile ("Profile of students"). It clearly indicates that the program is a meeting place for real professionals in their field who understand that success is possible only in constant development,” emphasized Elena Skalon, Academic Director of the Program, Deputy Program Director of at GSOM SPbU
“A professional business school is, first of all, international recognition and close cooperation with partners. AlmaU has been working in partnership with top business schools for many years. On the other hand, a professional business school helps the local community to develop through the provision of a cycle of programs and useful trainings. Today, AlmaU invests in the development of the region, for example, our programs are being implemented in Tashkent and Dushanbe. 1000 students are studying on MBA programs. Top managers, entrepreneurs trust us and learn from our programs,” said Gulnara Kurenkeeva, Rector of AlmaU.
“The Executive MBA program of GSB AlmaU and GSOM SPbU has achieved outstanding results confirming the exceptional quality of business education in the CIS region. One of the main advantages of the Executive MBA program is the opportunity to bring together professionals from different industries and regions with unique functional responsibilities and career paths. It creates a rich and dynamic learning environment that enriches the content of the program and provides valuable practical knowledge in a variety of business contexts. In addition, AlmaU and GSOM ranked second in the Executive Profile indicator with a score of 88.2 out of 100 possible points. This achievement emphasizes the quality of the program and the high level of leadership and professionalism of the participants once again,” emphasized Balzhan Shilibekova, Executive MBA Program Leader.
Executive MBA programs bring together professionals from various fields from different parts of the world. They are united by experience in doing business and making strategic management decisions. On programs that harmoniously combine classical university education and innovative approaches to training professional managers for the global economy of the 21st century, top managers and owners of large and medium-sized companies with at least 7 years of management experience develop leadership qualities and managerial competencies.
“The main result of the training for me was the acquired confidence in my abilities, the ability to analyze ongoing processes, work with a team and partners. I understand that without studying on the program, I would not have gained new knowledge, skills and, of course, friends — my respected fellow students," says Andrey Zherebyatyev, General Director of Ensto Kazakhstan LLP. At the beginning of 2023, he graduated from the joint Executive MBA program — Strategic Management and Leadership.
Executive MBA programs are an educational product created in synergy between the alliance of two leading CIS business schools. GSOM SPbU is the first business school in the CIS to hold all Triple Crown accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA). The MBA programs of AlmaU Graduate School of Business have also been globally accredited by AMBA since 2013, thereby confirming the quality and compliance with international standards. Therefore, the joint project is a unique selling proposition in the market of postgraduate professional education.
