We are also the only business school in Africa to offer a triple-accredited MBA, with accreditation from the leading UK, European and US accreditation bodies. We are also accredited by South Africa’s Council on Higher Education and many of our alumni work in senior positions in government, industry, media, business schools and NGOs,” concludes Foster-Pedley.
