The program is extremely hard, challenging, and demanding. It is stressful and consumes a lot of your time. So, why would you want to apply here?There are a lot of reasons, but I really want to focus only on three: world class professors; high level of standards and values; and the opportunity to meet incredible people.

I applied to several schools, including foreign ones. Then I realized that study here is not worse than in Europe, maybe even better. After the end of the MBA program, I got the opportunity to study under the prestigious YAPP program of the International Civil Aviation Academy. It was due to the fact that I had experience and knowledge gained in the framework of the MBA. With NUGSB MBA diploma, I got the opportunity to work for a year in solid organizations - the International Civil Aviation Association, the International Air Transport Association and the International Union of Airports
Abul Kekilbayev
Having graduated with a BSc (Hons) Economics and Statistics, I worked for various national development institutions such as the Public-Private Partnership Center and the Kazakhstan Development Bank. When I looked at all MBA programs (both local and international), I wanted to find a program in English, practice oriented, based on an international curriculum, and more importantly, with world-class professors. NUGSB really was the environment in which I wanted to study.
