During the programme, participants will learn from the expertise of highly successful academics and the personal experiences of top business leaders. Merging these insights, with your own leadership behavior and adaptive thinking, will maximize your learning. You will be provided with opportunities to collaborate with peers and integrate your business knowledge and skills, as well as enhance your professional network.

What are the admission requirements?Whilst a post graduate qualifi cation is not a pre-requisite, it is strongly recommended. All candidates must have relevant experience and have held a senior or executive management position for at least two years. Sound general knowledge or experience of functional management (marketing, fi nance, human resources, etc.) is a further entry-level requirement for admission. Admission is subject to a selection process.

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 certifi cate from Stellenbosch University. On completion of the programme, participants become USB-ED alumni.
