We believe that business should work closely together, as well as co-operatively, with
government and civil society to create a better, more equal South Africa of which we can all be
proud. Whilst we are firmly rooted in a university system, we are, as organisation,
philosophically close to business and this is ingrained in everything we do.
Building management and leadership capability sits at the heart of any business school. While
this is our primary focus, we believe that we play a crucial part ensuring business executives
are able to develop a broader view and constructively engage with government, labour and civil
society – both locally and internationally. Through this, we enable the building of competitive
institutions so that business can responsibly generate the growth that the country needs.
Over the years GIBS has refined its management education offerings across a wide spectrum,
embracing degree programmes, open courses, and offerings tailored to individual clients and
consortia to effect behaviour change through the acquisition of business knowledge and skills. Impact is
core to the design, delivery and assessment of GIBS programmes. We create programmes that equip
students to take up the reins of leadership and successfully propel businesses forward in the
context of a dynamic and changing global environment.
GIBS works with more than 6 000 executives, managers and scholars every year across multiple
countries. Our world-class campus situated in the heart of Johannesburg, one of the great
African cities, coupled with our internationally-recognised faculty and associates, as well as
our unique learning methodologies enable us to offer students a transformative learning
experience.
