The MBA programme has been offered in the province of KwaZulu-Natal by this institution since 1974.

The Graduate School of Business and Leadership is situated on the Westville Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal in a natural conservancy and enjoys a sweeping view of the Springfield Business Park and the Indian Ocean. The school’s facilities are modern and offer students some of the latest teaching technologies.

The MBA curriculum is challenging and regularly includes group work and debate. Students are encouraged to widen the borders of their thinking and to envision what is possible, and not to see merely what is before them. The MBA programme lecturers come from both university and corporate environments and they bring key knowledge and experience to the programme. Industry specific guest speakers also frequent the lecture theatre and relevant topics and trends are examined and discussed.
