Regent Business School is a leading distance-mode management education provider in southern Africa. The Global Pan-African MBA focuses on enhancing management and leadership skills on the African continent. The continent has a huge skills deficit and in particular there is a dearth of management expertise. An MBA is internationally acknowledged as a means of fast-tracking the development of leaders and managers to meet these demands. Internationally, the MBA is recognised as the premier business qualification and it has stood the test of time in transforming people into high-level decision-makers and agents of progress.
The MBA is aimed at contributing to enhancing leadership and management skills whilst developing the socio-economic environment of the African continent. The core curriculum of the MBA programme primarily deals with generic global business and management issues. It is unique in that all core courses are embedded with reading material and case studies that are Africa-centric. In addition, global problems and challenges such as Sustainability, Governance, Political Economy and Ethics are included in the core curriculum. The MBA programme will also offer electives in Islamic Banking, Health Care Management, Doing Business in Africa, Emerging Markets and the Digital Economy.
Regent Business School’s intention is to shape and nurture socially responsible entrepreneurs, public and private sector managers and leaders for the renaissance of emerging economies.
The MBA has been benchmarked with many international institutions’ programmes, including business schools in Africa. This standard enables students with sufficient and relevant work experience and appropriate qualifications to further develop their functional and reflective competencies in business management and administration. The MBA will also enable students in the private and the public sectors to develop in-depth, advanced discipline-specific skills and applied competencies that will provide them with opportunities for personal intellectual growth, more purposeful employment, and the ability to make a meaningful contribution to society.
