In autumn 2007, Lappeenranta University of Technology embarked on a unique international venture: the Master’s Degree Programme (CBU) in Business and Administration in the field of International Technology and Innovation Management.
The language of instruction in this innovative two-year degree programme is English, and it is arranged by the LUT School of Business and the St. Petersburg State University Graduate School of Management (GSOM) in collaboration. GSOM is the leading Russian school of business with an extensive international cooperation network.
The Master’s programme leads to the degree of Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at Lappeenranta University of Technology's School of Business. In addition to this, students also have a unique opportunity to complete a double degree, gaining also the degree of Master of Management at St. Petersburg State University, Graduate School of Management. Students are admitted either to the degree of Master of Science in Economic and Business Administration at LUT or to the double degree. Student admission to a double degree is based on the total scores of final selection. Also, to be admitted to the double degree student's degree certificate must be recognized by the Russian federation.
In order for any student with a non-Russian university undergraduate or graduate degree diploma to graduate from a Russian university, the student has to present a proof of recognition of the diploma by the Russian federation. This recognition is available as a result of a so called "diploma nostrification" procedure executed by the Russian Ministry of Education. LUT will help students with the nostrification process and the required documents.
The programme aims to train specialists in Finnish-Russian and Russian-EU business who are aware of cultural differences. The goal is to respond to the needs of international business, all the while taking into account the special features and demands of both participating countries.
