An MBA qualification is regarded as the flagship of business training worldwide. We provide our students with the tools to succeed in the business environment and become professional thought leaders who excel in management.

Our MBA degree combines theory and practice to fully develop the strategic leadership potential of managers participating in our programme.

Why should I enrol for an MBA?

There are several reasons why a professional may decide to study towards an MBA qualification, some of the reasons listed by our alumni include:

  • CAREER ADVANCEMENT: An MBA qualification can provide professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to advance their management careers. It can equip them with a broader business perspective, enhance their leadership abilities, and improve their communication & problem-solving skills.

Format

This is a two-year qualification presented at NQF level 9 and can be completed in a maximum duration of three years. We follow a blended methodology that includes both synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning activities. Study Schools and Workshops are presented in person at suitable venues close to our campuses in North-West and Gauteng. This is complemented by synchronous remote sessions that you can join from your laptop or tablet from the comfort of your office or home.

The professional MBA programme consists of 210 SAQA credits, and will require 2100 hours over two years to complete but relies heavily on self-directed learning from the individual hence, for every 1 hour spent in class, the individual will need to spend about 4 hours on related activities, which include reading, group work and assignments.

Minimum Requirements

As required by the Council for Higher Education (CHE), applicants should at least hold one of the following academic requirements to be considered for the MBA programme:

  • Honours/Postgraduate degree (NQF level 8), OR
  • A 3-year Bachelor’s degree (NQF level 7) plus a postgraduate diploma (NQF level 8).

In addition to the academic requirement, applicants should also have a minimum of 3 years' relevant managerial experience. Students who do not meet the academic qualification criteria above, but can demonstrate significant managerial experience, may apply to be considered to the MBA programme via the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process of the university. In line with the requirements of the CHE, the university may admit up to 10% of its student body under RPL. Candidates who wish to be admitted through the RPL process will have to submit all the same documentation and tests as required for all prospective students. In addition, they should provide a portfolio of evidence that meet the requirements of the university.
