The BBA programme is divided into three majors:
International Business (IB) emphasises the international aspects of management and approaches to doing business in a global market environment, focusing on theory rather than math-based techniques. This is achieved through studying international management disciplines and learning foreign languages. The teaching is delivered in Russian and partially in English.
Russian students can participate in the undergraduate double degree projects: after 1-2 years of learning they obtain both a Russian diploma and a degree granted by a partner university.
Business Administration (BA) is focused on management and business behaviours, primarily in the Russian environment. BA provides a thorough study of Russian history as well as management and business specifics. The teaching is delivered in Russian.
International Finance (IF) emphasises quantitative disciplines and quantitative methods for decision making, business simulation, mathematical statistics, accounting, etc. IF includes an extensive English language course to reach an appropriate level of competence. The teaching is delivered in Russian and partially in English.
Our non-resident students can have a one-month internship (in April) within the student exchange programme with one of our partner universities. The teaching is delivered in English.
Those foreign students who are fluent in Russian can attend the full-time BBA programme on a semester - or year-long basis.
