UNISA MBA – Master of Business Administration

Programmes

 An MBA is regarded by many as the ticket to the C-suite.  After all you’d be hard-pressed to find a CEO who doesn’t have one.  More than anything, an MBA is structured to turn a manager into a holistic leader capable of steering an organisation and its people to success.  The MBA gives you access to continue your studies towards a DBL, providing you meet the admission requirements of the DBL.

Admission requirements and supporting documents

  • A Bachelor’s degree or any equivalent (provide a clear copy of certificate as well as transcript indicating the symbol or percentage obtained for each module and indicating that the qualification was completed)
