Brilliant Russian Business Education – EMAS is often referred to as "Russian Stanford"

EMAS is often called this way because the main focus of EMAS programs is business and entrepreneurship.

MBA, Executive MBA and DBA programs at EMAS do not include general education disciplines (like theoretical economics and the basic principles of management).

Instead, they place great emphasis on providing students with a deep and profound understanding of professional management competencies (like business modelling, strategies of business development, business growth on fluctuating markets).

This is what makes EMAS completely different from university business schools and their online counterparts. 


It is Brilliant Russian Business Education!


EMAS is an ecosystem helping your business career flourish.


EMAS is among the BIG 5 business schools in Russia & Eastern Europe in terms of MBA, Executive MBA and DBA students.


NON-ACADEMIC MBA BASED ON IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS! YOU WILL DO A LOT OF PERSONAL AND BUSINESS PROJECTS DURING YOUR TRAINING AT EMAS. YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Academic
MBA based on doing Individual Implementation Projects with Free Counselling
Abstract cases and empty words lectures

Valuable personal and business skills.

APPLY NOW AND START CHANGING YOUR FUTURE TOMORROW!

THE MOST IMPORTANT COURSE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN CAREER AND BUSINESS!

If you want to create your own successful business or to become a highly-paid top manager, then you must study at EMAS!

The reason for this is that all MBAs at EMAS, regardless of specialization, have an in-depth course in strategy and strategic management (it is more extensive only at the EMAS Executive MBA and DBA). This is the most important discipline for managers.

Unlike other business schools, EMAS is one of the best experts in strategic management.

EMAS won’t teach you generally available, basic things such as PEST analysis, Porter’s five forces or SWOT analysis. You can find the information about these things on the Internet yourself and read it anytime.


Instead, you will study in-depth methods which will lead you to success in highly competitive markets!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Note: An MBA program is a postgraduate course and it is not equivalent to an MSc program as well as other higher education programs in the terms of the Federal Law on Education in the Russian Federation. It is also not equivalent to an MSc degree and other higher education degrees in most of the countries of the European Union and the majority of the countries of the world. An MBA is a post-graduate course.

An MBA is a degree for the corporate world. There is a parallel system of degrees in business that is not equal to the system of academic degrees (Bachelor → MBA → DBA / Bachelor → MSc → PhD). These two systems shouldn’t be confused.

An MBA is useful for those who are looking for a career in business, whereas an MSc is valuable for those who are looking for public / civil service or an academic career (working and teaching at universities, for example). However, an MBA degree is valuable for those who want to teach in the framework of MBA programs, for instance.


It is also important to understand that when one perceives to get an MBA degree in another country then their own country, they must keep in mind a question of recognition / nostrification of foreign degrees / diplomas by local authorities if necessary. While this question is irrelevant in most cases to make a career in the corporate world, one can need to obtain recognition / nostrification if they want to work in public / civil service or academic world or continue the academic thread of education, like pursuing a PhD degree, for example. EMAS, as well as other educational institutions in the world, can not guarantee the recognition / nostrification of its diplomas outside of its country (Russia) and is not responsible for that.


Still dreaming about a vibrant career? Everything is possible with EMAS!
