About

 Tomsk State University Institute of Economics and Management:

HISTORY

Tomsk State University has provided education in economics for 125 years. In 1898, the Department of Political Economy and Statistics was opened. The founders of economic education in Tomsk are distinguished professors M. Reisner, M. Sobolev, and P. Lyashchenko.

Since then, educational resources and facilities have been improved; research fields have been developed; research and academic relations have been expanded; study programs for new specialties have been developed.

The Economics Department was established in 1955, and in 1963 it was reorganized into a separate faculty. S. Lukichev was appointed the first Dean of the Faculty of Economics. From 1989 to 2016 the Faculty of Economics was headed by Z. Sakharova.

The establishment of the Higher School of Business and the International Faculty of Management enhanced management and business education at TSU, as well as international cooperation and internationalization of the university. 

The Higher School of Business (HSB) was opened in 1991. In 25 years, it became one of the chief business education institutions in TSU. V. Gaga was its founder and first head. 

A Russian-American college was established at TSU under an agreement with Ohio University (USA) as part of the Education and Business in Siberia program. In 1998, it became a faculty (IFM). F. Tarasenko was its founder and first dean.

TODAY

In September 2016, the Institute of Economics and Management (IEM) was established at Tomsk State University. It combined and consolidated the resources of three strong faculties: the Faculty of Economics, the International Faculty of Management and the Higher School of Business. V. Dyomin, who now holds the position of the University’s First Vice-Rector, was the first Director of the Institute.

A notable feature of the education process at the Institute is project-based learning in cooperation with corporate partners – top-managers which provides maximum immersion into the real market. Corporate partners participate in the development of study programs and take part in the education process, provide internship and employment opportunities for the students.
