The Programme encourages participants to converse and collaborate across a range of business disciplines, thereby enhancing their understanding of how the business operates. It also re-enforces the need for managers to ensure that they do not perform their management roles in isolation. Through this learning experience, the participants will be better equipped to identify opportunities through innovation, whilst building unique management and leadership capabilities.

Participants will be required to complete individual assignments and a group business-driven action learning (BDAL) group project.

What are the admission requirements?No formal tertiary qualifications are required. Participants should preferably have one to two years of management experience at junior management entry level and English language competence at NQF level 4 or equivalent. Fur-thermore, participants should have sufficient ability to read and comprehend learning material, write assign-ments, and follow as well as participate in discussions on management issues.

What will you receive upon completion?Upon successful completion of the programme (which requires attendance of all classroom-based study blocks as well as passing of all assignments), you will receive a certificate from Stellenbosch University. On completion of the programme, participants become USB-ED alumni.
