24th place in the QS Executive MBA Rankings 2025
The first and only in the CIS, Kazakhstan, and Central Asia — once again among the global leaders!
The joint Executive MBA program “Strategic Management and Leadership” by GSB AlmaU and GSOM SPbU has secured the 24th position in the QS Executive MBA Rankings 2025 (Joint Programmes category), improving its standing from the previous year.
This program remains the sole representative of the CIS, Kazakhstan, and Central Asia in this prestigious category, which includes 27 leading joint programs from 14 countries. We stand alongside international flagships in business education such as TRIUM (HEC/LSE/NYU), UCLA/NUS, Tsinghua/INSEAD, IE-Brown, Kellogg/HKUST, and ESSEC/Mannheim.
This achievement reflects the sustainable growth, high academic standards, and global expertise of both institutions.
GSOM SPbU is a leading business school in Russia, holding the “triple crown” of accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA) and ranking among the top 100 business schools globally.
GSB AlmaU is the leader in business education in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, AMBA-accredited since 2013, and recognized for its innovation, entrepreneurship, and contribution to developing regional leadership.
We proudly represent the region on the global educational map and prove that international standards are not just a benchmark — they are our reality.
Congratulations to the program team, faculty, students, and alumni on this remarkable achievement!
