Traveling between meetings in Waterfall City, commuting on the Gautrain, or working from home—study meets you wherever you are. Our mobile app lets you download materials, access readings, and watch lectures offline, keeping you productive even when your connection isn’t.

Seamless, device-agnostic access means your study time fits into pockets across your day. Five minutes here, twenty there—small moments compound into meaningful progress.

Open-Book Assessments, Real-World Thinking

In leadership, the question is rarely “Do you remember this definition?”—it’s “Can you use the right information to make a sound decision?” That’s why this MBA uses open-book assessments instead of classical question/answer exams.

You will work through cases, scenarios, and applied tasks that mirror the demands of management: integrating data, framing trade-offs, and justifying a course of action. It’s an assessment approach that rewards analysis, synthesis, and judgement—the skills executives rely on.

Learn from World-Class Faculty

Quality teaching shapes quality leaders. Your tutors and faculty include graduates from world-renowned universities like Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring academic rigour and practical perspective to every module.

Expect engaged guidance, thoughtful feedback, and mentorship that challenges you to elevate your thinking—so you graduate not just with knowledge, but with a more strategic, confident leadership voice.

Join a Global Network That Opens Doors

Study alongside a diverse cohort from over 130 countries, broadening your worldview and building a network that spans industries and regions. The conversations you have and the projects you deliver together will become enduring professional relationships.

Flexible, Interest-Free Payment Plan

Investing in your future should be manageable. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, helping you spread the cost while you upgrade your career potential.
