IBS-Moscow students, under a two-semester programme, spend one semester in Russia and the other semester at one of our partner universities. Graduates obtain two diplomas: a diploma issued by the Academy of National Economy under RF Government and a degree granted by the foreign partner university.
Students from the IBSA partner universities and other foreign business schools typically come to us for one semester to study Specifics of Doing Business in the Transition-Economy Countries (equivalent to a credit point value of 30), and then, during the summer semester, they prepare a thesis (equivalent to 30 credit points) to be defended in autumn.
Upon the successful completion of the programme, the students from the IBSA universities are granted the European Master of Science in International Management diploma issued by the Academy of National Economy under RF Government.
Students from the other partner universities are given the certificate evidencing that they attended the one-semester programme, which is equivalent to 30 credit points.
