Our MBA program plays a key role in our mission to develop the next generation of business leaders in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Intended for early-career professionals, our MBA program provides you with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to manage effectively in global business environments.

The starting point for the development of the curriculum is the set of competencies required by future global leaders. Such leaders need to understand the business risks and opportunities of social, political, cultural, and environmental trends. They also have to learn to manage production capacity in a world in which traditional resources are dwindling and to lead in the face of complexity and ambiguity.

The NUGSB MBA is a rigorous and comprehensive full-time program specifically designed to acquire the skills sought after by the most influential companies in Central Asia and beyond. The program is delivered in strategic partnership with Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.
