The Graduate School of Business (GSB) is the business school of the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa's oldest university.
The School’s programmes include the Masters in Business Administration (MBA), the Executive MBA, the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration (PDBA) and the Associate in Management (AIM) – each targeting a different level of management.
Executive Education at the GSB offers open-enrolment short courses, focusing on a wide range of development requirements. The department also develops short courses and customised programmes for corporate clients.
The UCT Graduate School of Business is one of the oldest business schools in the country, having been established in 1964 on the University of Cape Town's main campus in Rondebosch, Cape Town.
Today, the GSB has its home at the Breakwater Campus at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, close to Cape Town's central business district. The campus, which was once a prison, derives its name from the fact that the site previously housed the convicts who built the Cape Town harbour breakwater in 1861. In the early 1990s, the derelict buildings were renovated to accommodate the business school but much of the original character still remains. The GSB has had its home here since 1991.
QS Global 200 Business Schools Report: The report, which rates schools from around the world based on MBA employers’ and recruiters’ views, rated the UCT GSB in first place for the Africa and the Middle East region.
AMBA: The GSB has received AMBA accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA). AMBA is the international impartial authority on postgraduate MBA education. The accreditation is considered the global benchmark for MBA, DBA and MBM programmes.
EQUIS: The GSB has been awarded accreditation by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). This means the GSB has a three-year European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation. EQUIS is an international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration. The GSB is one of two African business schools to have received an EQUIS accreditation.
