Master of Business Administration

Overview The MBA has been developed to provide knowledge and skills for aspiring senior managers. Like most MBA programmes, a healthy mix of academics and practitioners staff the UKZN MBA. The academics focus on the transfer of knowledge whilst the practitioners focus on the transfer of skills. Our programme is designed to simulate the work environment, as such our students have to work: independently; in groups; under stress and to deadlines. Our lecturers facilitate the learning process by supplementing formal lectures with critical discussions; group presentations; and case study analysis. Where applicable, lectures are supported with technology based exercises and Internet research. Our MBA curriculum is challenging and requires a commitment from the individual, his/her family and his/her employer. It is important to have support systems in place in order to succeed on our programme. In time, the rewards far outweigh the sacrifice. Accreditation The Council for Higher Education (CHE) has granted full accreditation to the University of KwaZulu-Natal
