History

Logo of Synergy University (in Russian)

The history of Synergy University goes back to 1995 when “Moscow International Institute of Econometrics, Informatics, Finance and Law” was established in Moscow.

Shortly thereafter, the Institute was renamed into “Moscow Academy of Industry and Finance”.

In 2009 and under the leadership of Dr. Vadim Lobov and Prof. Yury Rubin, a strategic merger between the Academy and “Synergy Business School”, (an institute offering academic and training programs targeting skilled mid to top-level managers since 1988), took place to form Russia’s largest private education provider. The newly formed institution is run under the brand name “Synergy University”

Today Synergy University is Russia’s largest private university with more than 35000 students and over 40 regional and international branches and rep-offices across the globe.
