GIBS makes UK Financial Times Executive Education top 50
The annual UK Financial Times (FT) Executive Education rankings, announced earlier this week, has placed the University of Pretoria's Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) at number 43, the only business school in Africa in the top 50.
This is the thirteenth year in a row that the school has retained its top spot as the leading African and South African provider of business school executive education programmes. It forms part of the top 15% of an estimated 300 leading business schools globally which vie for a position on the executive education rankings.
This global benchmark ranks schools globally by combining the views of open and custom programmes. The customised ranking relies on a survey of business school’s top clients, who are then invited to complete an online survey about the school that nominated them. For GIBS, clients who participated in the survey comprised not only leading South African corporates but also top multinationals operating across Africa and abroad.
Business schools are also ranked on several other criteria including: preparation, programme design, teaching methods and materials, faculty diversity, new skills and learning, facilities as well as women participation, to name a few.
