The global career and education network Quacquarelli Symonds and GreenTown Consulting Group will hold an MBA Forum in St. Petersburg next week. This is the first time that the event is being held in the city, providing an opportunity for MBA candidates to meet the admissions officers of international business schools.
“On Tuesday, 8 April, admissions directors from INSEAD (France), Duke Fuqua (U.S.), IE Business School & ESADE (Spain), Cass & Manchester Business School (U.K.), Vlerick (Belgium) and RSM (Netherlands), will be presenting their full-time and executive MBA programs to St. Petersburg professionals,” said Zoya Zaitseva, senior operations manager at QS World MBA Tour.
During the forum, a select group of potential MBA students will get the opportunity to have pre-admissions interviews with the admissions officers of the world’s most prominent business schools. Applicants will be able to talk to representatives of the schools at their respective stands, participate in the presentations and network after the event.
The forum will begin with a panel discussion on MBA admissions tips, during which MBA recruiters and alumni will discuss and compare full-time and executive MBA programs.
The forum will be followed by a seminar on preparing to pass the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) — the standardized test for measuring students’ aptitude for courses. Several presentations will be made, including those by IE Business School, Manchester, ESADE, RSM, Cass, INSEAD, Duke Fuqua, Vlerick and Copenhagen Business School.
Besides face-to-face meetings and networking sessions, sample MBA master-classes will be held.
“For us, QS GreenTown is a totally new type of exhibition. We hope to conduct a series of interviews with potential MBA students. We also expect that the informal atmosphere will help candidates to get information about the school and its programs, and formulate their goals and expectations. During formal testing or in a motivational essay, this can be difficult,” said Anastasia Korshunova, development director at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School’s St. Petersburg Campus.
This opportunity of having face-to-face meetings is one of the advantages of exhibitions rather than advertising, Korshunova said. Schools can find out which factors are important for potential students, she added.
At the forum next week, the school will be represented by Korshunova and Peter Rafferty, partner and director of International Business at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School and International full-time MBA director.
“As well as the exhibition, the forum will include business school seminars and presentations. 30-minute master-classes should demonstrate the quality of teaching and lecture format, and give potential students an idea of the school’s atmosphere,” Korshunova said.

Can business schools drill ethics into students' heads
Eager to supply companies with leaders who clearly know right from wrong, business schools are investing heavily in courses and centres where ethics are debated day and night.
But according to experts in executive behaviour, all that time, talent, and treasure spent on ethics education is unlikely to change the way top managers behave in the workplace.
Touching off this debate among consultants and academics are survey results published by the Journal of Business Ethics earlier this year. A team of five researchers investigated programmes at 50 top-ranked master of business administration (MBA)
