The State University of Management has been ranked among Russia's leading universities for graduate employment, according to the 2026 National Graduate Employment Ranking, published on the Work in Russia portal.
How universities were evaluated
The ranking is based on data on graduates' employment in the second year after graduation and information on their salaries, which are aggregated by Rosobrnadzor, the Social Fund of Russia, and Rostrud.
Rankings are calculated separately for each group of specializations and fields of study, separately for undergraduate and graduate programs. The number of graduates is also taken into account: universities with "small" and "large" sample sizes are ranked in different groups, ensuring the most accurate comparison.
In 2026, the calculation included employment data for 496,000 graduates from more than 1,000 universities across the country, making the ranking results representative of the actual demand for diplomas.
Areas where GUU is a leader
Several GUU undergraduate programs entered the top 10 and top 12 in Russia:
41.00.00 Political Science and Regional Studies – 6th place 42.00.00 Media and Information and Librarianship – 7th place 38.00.00 Economics and Management – 9th place 43.00.00 Service and Tourism – 11th place 27.00.00 Management in Technical Systems – 12th place

43.00.00 Service and Tourism – 5th place 40.00.00 Jurisprudence – 10th place 38.00.00 Economics and Management – 16th place
"High rankings demonstrate that the university not only provides high-quality training but also has built a career support system, collaborates with employers, and its programs are relevant to the economy. This approach to evaluation is a powerful incentive for universities to pursue advanced development," commented Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management.
Flagship direction – Economics and Management
Traditionally, the most sought-after and prestigious program at the State University of Management is the 38.00.00 "Economics and Management" program. It trains specialists who shape the country's economic and management thinking.
This group implements the following bachelor's and master's degree programs:

Quality mark of training
SUM's high ranking confirms the effectiveness of its practice-oriented educational programs, close collaboration with employers, and the stable demand for graduates in the labor market.
Vladimir Stroyev called the employment ranking "the most practical selection tool for applicants, as it answers the key question about the prospects offered by a degree from a particular university and allows for an objective assessment of the return on investment in education."
Let us recall that in the first National Graduate Employability Ranking, published in 2025, our university also ranked among the leaders.
