Application process  

who should apply?

You have been working for at least five years and are feeling the pressure of change in the workplace. Although you are motivated and competent, you feel that you do not have sufficient tools to make as much of a difference in your company as you know you can. You know that your career will benefit from management education and you are ready to extend yourself to achieve success.

The ideal PMD student has the following:

  • Five to ten years work experience, with some at middle management level;
  • Matriculation exemption certificate – a tertiary qualification is an advantage;
  • Intellectual ability;
  • Good communication skills;
  • A mentor from your company; and
  • Maturity, commitment and aspirations to achieve success in your career.

Application processAs part of your PMD application, you will be required to submit a completed online application form. All information should reach us by no later than 17h00 on the following closing dates:

* PMD 30 - closed
* PMD 31 - closed
* PMD 32 - 25 June 2012 *** due to the number of applications being received we will need to close applications on 28 May 2012

Details required for your application include:

  • Personal contact information;
  • Academic qualifications;
  • Career history; and
  • Financing method;

In order to be considered, your application form, supporting documentation, and proof of R500 registration fee must reach GIBS by no later than the closing date. Please note that an application will not be considered if any of the information required is missing.

To reserve your seat on the entrance test, please send an e-mail with your prefered date to certificates@gibs.co.za
Your proof of R500 registration fee must be received before booking will be confirmed.

GIBS follows a rolling admission procedure. Once the class is full, applicants who qualify will be placed on a waiting list for the next intake of students. You are therefore requested to apply timeously to secure your place on the programme.

If you have been offered a place on the PMD which you do not wish to accept, kindly inform us in writing within two weeks.

(Note: Delegates need to ensure that permission is granted by their companies to attend the programme before applying.)
