GSB AlmaU story is a 35-year-old success story of the entire university.

The GSB's leading position on the CIS business education market - the result of its strategic ambitions to implement innovative educational projects.

The most notable achievements of GSB - the first commercial MBA program and the first DBA program in Kazakhstan, leadership in international and corporate MBA programs in the CIS. We are the only holder of the AMBA (UK) global accreditation in Central Asia, our unique corporate training projects for Kazakhstani businesses. In particular, the double degree GSB AlmaU and GSOM SPbU EMBA program was ranked 22nd in QS Executive MBA rankings 2022 (joint program category) and our General MBA program is the only one ranked in the top 250 in QS World University Rankings: Global MBA Rankings 2023.

These accomplishments resulted from years of well-coordinated and synergetic teamwork between educators and managers. Undeterred by our past achievements, we remain steadfast in pursuing even greater excellence and aspire to scale new summits in our endeavors.

The primary objective of business schools is to enhance management practices within organizations through training and consultancy services. The global pandemic has highlighted the growing complexity and uncertainty in the world due to rapid technological advancements, digitalization, and globalization.

Present competition is no longer confined to companies, products, or services alone, but rather encompasses the effectiveness of organizational governance frameworks. Kazakhstan's business sector and society confront the crucial task of effectively transforming governance models to meet the evolving contemporary demands.

Aligned with the challenges faced by Kazakhstani business, the Graduate School of Business AlmaU has a strategic vision to educate a new generation of Kazakhstani managers who possess the capabilities to shape cutting-edge organizational management models through managerial innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.

To realize this strategic goal, we not only deliver programs but also cultivate an entrepreneurial ecosystem both within the institution itself and in our environment through innovative management models. By influencing Kazakhstan's business environment and society, we aim to run innovative educational and consultancy projects, fostering an environment that attracts talents and ideas and forges organizational leaders and managers of the new era.
