PDBA Applications are now open for the 2021 intake. GIBS academic programmes are fully operational online at the moment via a blend of synchronous (online face to face) and asynchronous (in your own time) learning methods. We are managing admissions on the view that the 2021 intake will return to classroom based learning. If not we will fall back to our current mode of operation.
