Business programs are the most popular among managers and businessmen. They allow you to significantly improve your professional skills in a fairly short time, structure your knowledge into a single unit, which allows you to further increase your importance among employers.
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The most famous of them is Master of Business Administration (MBA). The MBA is an elite business degree. An MBA degree will allow you to reach the pinnacle of your career and become a business all-rounder. MBA graduates are among the highest paid workers in the world. It does not matter in what specialty you previously received a higher education diploma. Given the current high cost of MBA programs, over time the training compensates for all costs, since after completing the training a person gains not only enormous experience and an international certificate, but also valuable business connections that help achieve real professional success. It is important not to confuse an MBA in Russia (MBA in Moscow and St. Petersburg) and an MBA abroad.
MBA in Moscow, Russia and abroad
While the cost of MBA programs is similar to Western programs, they are of low quality and are not at all valued either in Russia or in the West. In Russia, the level of teaching staff is significantly lower, and the concept of MBA is also greatly distorted. Instead of practical knowledge and a clear system of business thinking (MBA), a person receives a bunch of unrelated materials and quite outdated knowledge. One of the key ideas of the MBA - the exchange of valuable business experience between students (MBA in Russia) is working poorly. This is due both to the mentality of Russians and to the low entry criteria for applicants (there is no screening based on professional qualities; everyone who has paid for the education is trained). Unlike MBA in Russia, Western business schools have a coherent system of business education. The student is immersed in a structured concept of education, which allows him to integrate existing knowledge and skills into a single understanding. All knowledge and skills that are given during training are precisely focused. Since there is significant competition at the school (from 5 to 200 people per place), only the business elite enters. Thanks to an established system of transferring experience through seminars, workshops and trainings, students can gain successful experience from the most successful companies in the world. To ensure diversity of experience and business approaches, a number of places in Western schools are reserved specifically for representatives of fast-growing democratic countries. Thanks to this, representatives from Russia there is every chance of enrolling in an MBA program through additional admissions without competition.The chances of admission to elite business schools are especially increased by completing the Pre-MBA program.
Accelerated MBA preparation courses - Pre-MBA
High-intensity Pre-MBA programs combine English language instruction with research methods, information technology studies, and test preparation. These educational programs are designed for students who already have their first university degree - a bachelor's degree, and who wish to continue their studies in MBA programs at universities and business schools in foreign countries. To enroll in an MBA program, you need to have a range of skills and abilities. Also pass the competition and excel in international tests (TOEFL, GMAT, etc.). Moreover, the higher the level of the school, the higher the competition and requirements for applicants. It is also necessary to speak English at a high level. To guarantee admission to the best business schools, you must complete a Pre-MBA. In these courses, students learn business subjects, specialized terminology, improve their knowledge of the English language, take the necessary international TOEFL and GMAT tests, and learn to write the essays and recommendations required for admission. MBA programs for executives and top managers of large corporations are somewhat different. A special elite MBA program is designed for them - MBA Executive. Unlike a simple MBA, the Executive MBA teaches strategic thinking, a systematic approach to business and new approaches to managing large companies and corporations. Management, marketing, management. Other business programs are also popular:
Law International Degree
LLM program (LL.M. Degree, Master of Law) Master of Laws or LL.M. (Master of Law) is the same springboard to the heights of a legal career as an MBA is a pass to the ranks of the managerial elite. There are lawyers who are considered the super elite in the world. They receive exorbitant fees, comparable only to the salaries of top managers of the largest enterprises. These are lawyers working in international consulting and law firms. Their main task is legal support for large projects, investments, and consulting for enterprises. For super lawyers, a combination of Russian legal education and a Western LL.M degree is considered ideal.
Auditing International Degree
DipIFR - ACCA's Diploma in International Financial Reporting (IFRS) Diploma in International Financial Reporting and Auditing Among working auditors and financiers, the Diploma in International Financial Reporting and Auditing, developed in connection with the transition of many countries to International Accounting Standards. As well as the requirement of the European Union for companies listed on stock exchanges to prepare financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS). b IFRS - international financial reporting standards IAS b IAS, US GAAP and UK GAAP ь Western financial accounting standards: GAAP, IFRS (IAS, IFRS), SSAP

HR manager
Training for HR managers (personnel management) Master of Arts in Human Resource Strategies (MA HRS) Senior Professional HR (SPHR), Professional HR (PHR) Training in the Master of Science Program Human Resources Development. SHRM is a program designed to give HR professionals a complete understanding of the business and teach them to collaborate effectively with colleagues from other functional areas. The content of the program meets the needs of the modern business environment and, at the same time, takes less time than an MBA program. "There are two professional certificates in the field of HR in the world: the American SHRM and its British equivalent - the IPD. However, to obtain the IPD, you need to go to sessions in London. Preparation for passing the SHRM takes place at the CBSD in Moscow. In addition, there is only one British certificate issued once and for all, and the American one is valid only for three years, after which one must re-confirm one’s qualifications. This approach is completely logical: the professional field of HR is developing dynamically, new work technologies and approaches are constantly appearing, and a number of significant changes are taking place in labor legislation. "In order to obtain the SHRM certificate, I had to go through serious and painstaking preparation. However, such a certificate is worth the effort. As a result, I was able to not only systematize my knowledge, but also learn to communicate more effectively with my colleagues at the company's head office" - Ekaterina Zakharova, work manager with ExxonMobil staff
