Enter One University and Receive two international diplomas
This is not a fantasy, this is a reality for the applicants entering the Master’s programs – Management (Master in Management - MiM) and Corporate Finance (Master in Corporate Finance – MCF).
Students from these two programs are entitled to apply for a double degree program with Fudan University (China). The duration of the program is two years. In the first year, GSOM SPbU students study in St. Petersburg, and in the second year – at Fudan University in Shanghai

How does it work?
First, the students admitted to the Master in Management and Master in Corporate Finance programs at GSOM SPbU go through a selection process at SPbU and are nominated as candidates for studying in the English-taught programs at the School of Economics of Fudan University: Master of Finance (MF) and Master of International Business (MIB).
Then, the applicants pass an entrance interview with the examination committee of the School of Economics of Fudan University.
After the confirmation of the successfully completed selection, the students are admitted to study in China provided that they have no academic debts after the first year of study at GSOM SPbU.
The students who complete the programs of both universities and defend their final qualification papers successfully receive two diplomas with the degrees:

• Master in Management (MiM) and Master of International Business (MIB);
• Master in Corporate Finance (MCF) and Master of Finance (MF).
