STUDY AT THE TRIPLE ACCREDITED USB
The triple accredited University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB) offers an MBA and various other postgraduate degrees, diplomas and study options in a vibrant, multicultural setting at the southernmost tip of Africa.
The USB’s study options for international students
Located in Cape Town, South Africa, the USB is the fi rst business school of an African-born university with AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA accreditation. The USB off ers an MBA (full-time and modular), a cluster of programmes in Development Finance (postgaduate diploma, MPhil and PhD), MPhil degrees in Management Coaching and Futures Studies, a PhD, Postgraduate Diplomas in Leadership, Project Management and Dispute Settlement, and certifi cate courses in executive development.
The USB also off ers custom-designed programmes with South African case studies for visiting groups of students. These programmes focus on South African areas of expertise, such as diversity management, sustainability management, ICT and innovation for Africa, economics for emerging countries, using scenarios to develop alternative futures, leadership and organisational culture, and innovating business models (the latter applied mostly to the wine industry).
Most of the programmes are presented in a modular format (blocks of on- campus classes spread over time), which allows people from all over to attend. It also allows people to study while they work and to start applying their knowledge in the workplace as they acquire it.
The current exchange rate benefi ts foreign students.
Study at a Responsible Business School
The USB’s main social initiatives are its Small Business Academy (SBA), its subsidised Management Programme for Non-profi t Organisations and bursaries.
The SBA off ers a one-year business development programme to entrepreneurs from a nearby black township. This programme includes training, mentoring, coaching, engaged learning, workshops and resources. The USB’s MBA students assist the small business owners with their business plans. In return, the students may incorporate the work that they do in the townships in the research component of their MBA.
The USB’s responsibility towards society is also acknowledged by its inclusion on the Aspen Institute’s Beyond Grey Pinstripes Top 100 Schools List, its EDUNIVERSAL A-rating and Five Palmes Award, its membership of the EFMD’s Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative and its endorsement of the UN’s Principles for Responsible Management Education.
Ways in which the USB Assists Foreign Students to Study
The USB’s International Aff airs Offi ce assists foreign exchange and full-time students with their applications and practical arrangements to help the students to settle in and feel at home.
