A great business school is a place that has significant impact on your life, on your career and on your working life - whether you are an individual doing a programme, or an executive in a company.

GIBS was established in 2000 to be a place where people with potential, healthy ambition and respect for best practice are willing to engage like-minded peers and colleagues.

The campus and its facilities have been designed to create a learning environment in which we all stretch our thinking, challenge existing ideas and develop a personal and organisational sense of where we need to go next.

South Africa is a country that will continue to be challenged by the tension between its history and its future. Business leaders thrive on this tension as they look for opportunities to add value and generate prosperity for themselves and others.

It is our hope that GIBS be a business school for and from the business community. Positioned in Sandton, Johannesburg, we partner with leading companies and are fortunate to attract the type of person to this campus who wants to make a significant impact.

GIBS should be a place of hard work, inspiration, insight and hope - all aimed at building your, and our country’s, competitiveness.
