An MBA is regarded by many as a ticket to the C-suite. After all, you’d be hard-pressed to find a CEO who doesn’t have one. More than anything, an MBA is structured to turn a manager into a holistic leader capable of steering an organisation and its people to succeed. The MBA gives you access to continue your studies towards a DBL, providing you meet the admission requirements of the DBL.

Admission requirements and supporting documents

A Bachelor’s Honours Degree or a Postgraduate Diploma, with a minimum of 120 credits, OR a 480-credit Bachelor’s Degree. Please supply a copy of your transcript, indicating the symbol or percentage obtained for each module and indicating whether or not the qualification was completed.
A recent detailed Curriculum Vitae indicating three years or more managerial/professional work experience.
Supply a clear copy of the Identity Document or Passport. A copy of a driver’s licence will NOT be accepted.
Once the application is successful, applicants may be required to write an admissions test as part of the selection process.

The Graduate School of Business Leadership may institute additional selection criteria as deemed necessary.
