My name is Ivan and I am currently enrolled as a GSM-Master student at the School of Management in Steyr, where I previously acquired my Bachelor of Arts as a GSM-Bachelor student. During my bachelor’s I studied for a semester in Moscow, where I pursued a Double Degree, made possible by the collaboration between the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. The University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria has provided me with a plethora of opportunities to expand my academic and intercultural knowledge through practical application of theoretical constructs via company projects, workshops, guest lectures, internships and the compulsory semester abroad. I am happy and excited to hear from prospective students that are interested in applying and I would like to provide as much support and advice as I can to ease that process. If you are interested or have any question, please get in touch with me. Let’s talk!
