EMBA

Our EMBA programme is a unique degree which will expose you to different ways of viewing the world, and build your capacity to integrate multiple perspectives and strategies for a more holistic and sustainable organisation. 

The UCT GSB EMBA is not a traditional MBA. It assumes that, as an experienced manager, you have mastered the fundamentals of business and focuses instead on developing your proficiency in functional management. It is an applied learning experience aimed at building a bridge between theory and practice - drawing on systems thinking, design thinking and integrative thinking to enhance your ability to conceptualise, strategise and solve complex challenges.
