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.
The Global Executive MBA program’s international focus is enriched by the leadership and expertise of the exceptional faculty members in Kazakhstan. Our esteemed professors bring remarkable global experience in research, consultancy, and executive-level education. This exceptional blend of academic leadership ensures that participants benefit from the best educational experience.

Studying on the Executive MBA program helped me create a working strategy for developing my own network of clinics. And most importantly, I received exactly those tools and knowledge, thanks to which we will be able to implement this strategy. Now I have a complete understanding of how we can strengthen business processes and what is needed for this. I sincerely recommend this program to colleagues.
The first thing I would like to note is the network, because people that study in the group come from different industries and everyone’s company is at different levels of development. Everyone shares their cases, how a certain process works for everyone, or vice versa. Networking is also great not only with classmates, but with teachers too, who are professors of practice and in fact share their experience, not read-through examples. The second is the program's orientation towards practice, where you study and immediately take your problem and start to analyze it, and the teachers give feedback and new modern mechanics that you have not encountered before, and this works great, as you can look from the outside. And the third thing is that studying allows you to generate and try new ideas.
The Global Executive MBA program empowers executives and managers with a global outlook, insight, expertise, expansive networks, and diverse perspectives to become truly world-class leaders.
