HSE Graduate School of Business once again ranked 1st in the Russian business school ranking

The HSE Graduate School of Business has reaffirmed its status as the leader of Russian business education. For the second year in a row, HSE GSB has topped the National Ranking of Business Schools in the country, demonstrating consistently strong results across key learning indicators.

The study is conducted annually by the MBA.su portal, MBA in Moscow and Russia, and is based on surveys of MBA and Executive MBA alumni. This year, more than 1,200 graduates from 34 business schools across the country provided their assessments. The main focus of the ranking is the practical value of programs. Respondents shared their experiences on how education helped them increase income, advance in their careers, expand business networks, and achieve personal and professional growth.

For HSE GSB, maintaining its leadership has become proof of the effectiveness of its chosen development strategy. Students and alumni of the MBA program note the updates that have enhanced the practical value of education at HSE GSB. The first track is related to the development of entrepreneurial thinking—today more and more large companies are creating in-house startups and fostering a culture of innovation. The second track is technological, focusing on data-driven decision-making skills as well as developing strategies for investing in high-tech and innovative projects.

MBA students at HSE GSB especially value the off-site modules in leading Chinese business schools with immersion in the practices of Asian companies, as well as in Altai and Baikal, where leadership skills are developed in challenging field conditions.
