hey Toby. good question about russian mbas. i read a guardian article not to long ago that said lots of russian students were coming to europe and the uk for mbas. I know lancaster university in the UK was building some connections with some schools in Russia, but i don't know if they are yet offering any courses there. i will keep my eyes open.

also you might want to check out California State East Bay/Hayward's transnational mba program in Moscow.

Hi guys. I think because Russia is slightly behind the curve on English-language MBAs, joining up with a US or UK b-school that has a program in Moscow or Petersburg might be the way to go. at least for the next little while. i know that kingston university in the UK also has some kind of mba program in Moscow. it might be worth a look since kingston is a AMBA school...or you could learn some russian!! :)

both of these programs look like they are for real. interesting to see if there is some competition in the next few years. anybody with experience studying in russia?? recommended?

fascinating thread. i dont have any answers for you but I did read up on mbas recently. look at this article about embas in the ft.

There is a new fully accredited western MBA available in Moscow through GHP. At present, they are offering both an International MBA http://ghprussia.ru/mba.html and an Executive MBA http://ghprussia.ru/services/mbaexec.html
Both of these programs utilize a high-tech VR distance-learning approach combined with in-class participation.

Good luck!
