University of Cape Town

At the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB), our purpose is clear: we shape the leaders who shape the future.

Rooted in Africa and connected to the world, the UCT GSB is the continent's preeminent business school, embedded within Africa's leading university and located in one of the world's most extraordinary cities, a hub of commerce, culture and innovation. Throughout our sixty-year history, our commitment to rigorous research and transformative teaching has developed more than 20,000 alumni able to address complex challenges, navigate uncertainty and create lasting social impact.

The UCT GSB is proud to offer a genuinely global education with a distinctly African perspective across a programme portfolio that includes globally ranked full-time and modular MBA programmes, an Executive MBA for senior leaders, the CEMS Master in International Management for recent graduates, postgraduate diplomas in Management Practice and Development Finance, and specialised master's degrees in Development Finance and Inclusive Innovation.

We are distinctive not only for where we are, but for what we can see from here. Africa's dynamic emerging markets offer vital insight into the kind of leadership the world increasingly needs: thoughtful, responsible, adaptive, and capable of both systematic strategic thinking and the human interconnection of ubuntu. Our work contributes to global debates in management, deepens our understanding of business and leadership in Africa, and drives innovation and inclusive growth in South Africa, across the continent and beyond.
