The Open University's business school has launched its MBA programme in Russia through a collaboration with LINK, a training organisation set up six years ago by senior academics from the Aerodynamics Institute at Zhukovsky, near Moscow.

Thirty-four young Russian managers from industry and commerce enrolled last November on a pilot course of the MBA's foundation year. They had proven the qualification could work in Moscow, said Colin Gray, director of external affairs for the school.
