GIBS reaches out to Accra, Lagos, Nairobi
GIBS has designed an MBA to suit the needs and passions of its students, understanding that they are taking charge of shaping their future and, by being dynamic, challenging, interactive and inspiring, it develops well-rounded and effective leaders and active citizens.
“We believe that the MBA should be as unique as the students who embark on this journey. It is designed to broaden student’s business, country and world-view. It is not just about attaining knowledge but also about enabling them to develop their skills and business acumen to lead a division, organisation, or even start their own business,” says Neo Selepe, acting academic director at GIBS.
“Tailored to give our students an understanding of how to run a business in the context of a dynamic global market, the MBA offers the widest choice of global electives to pursue. Furthermore, our experienced local and international lecturers ensure a full understanding of the complex international markets and help equip students to take advantage of fresh challenges and opportunities that arise for individuals, businesses and governments that seek to enhance their competitive performance.
“Aside from technical knowledge and skills, students can also expect to gain increased levels of confidence, enhanced critical thinking and decision-making skills, higher levels of self-insight and productivity, and improved interpersonal skills. Our alumni often say that their greatest learnings and experience came from interactions with their fellow students. We go to great lengths to ensure that the students we enrol for our MBA are diverse and each offer something unique and special to the full mix.
As the only UK Financial Times ranked MBA in Africa, GIBS travels with the QS World MBA tour from Johannesburg to Accra, Lagos and Nairobi to meet high-quality prospective candidates across Africa. Its international rankings and accreditation include the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and The Academy of Business in Society (EABIS), which ensure global recognition of its programme.
