Welcome from the Rector

Dr. Nella M. Pruss Rector

Dear visitor,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Academy of Management "TISBI"!

Sir Francis Bacon's words that "knowledge is power" have never been more relevant than today. Created in 1992, TISBI has been striving to generate knowledge through research and disseminate it through teaching and community outreach. Being deeply aware of the importance of promoting knowledge-based society, the faculty and staff of our institution work every day to make sure that our graduates are well equipped to meet the expectations of the modern world.

Academy of Management "TISBI" is special in many ways.

As a relatively young institution, we are proud of our flexibility and ability to quickly adapt our programs to the needs of the society and tailor them to the needs of our students. This ensures a very high level of employment for our graduates and high feedback from employers. Experience shows that our alumni make significant contribution to the economic, political and social development of our region and Russia in general.

We treat education as more than only knowledge-oriented. Our students enjoy plentiful opportunities for cultural and artistic development through visits to museums, theatres, and a wide range of student activities.

TISBI is also special in its attitude to community relations. As the new 2007 year was declared a Year of Charity in Tatarstan, TISBI is proud of a decade long history of charity involvement. Students, faculty and staff have supported orphanages and a rehabilitation center, participated and organized a number of charity events, currently provide free education to students with hearing disabilities.

The Academy of Management "TISBI" has all necessary state accreditation and licenses.

I encourage you to read more about TISBI in the "About TISBI" section of our website. Whether you are a prospective student, a parent, a community member or a mass media representative, I hope that here you will be able to find all information about our Academy you are looking for.

I am confident that here, in TISBI, we do make difference. On behalf of the Academy, I welcome you to join us in this noble pursuit!
