Henley Business School
At Henley our focus is on you. Your learning, your success and your global future. Based on three continents and with 30+ years in Africa, we are known for building international leaders with impact who care about good business and the future of our world.
Henley Business School Africa is part of the global Henley network with campuses in Asia, Europe, Africa and the UK. The business school is anchored to the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, renowned for its leadership in climate science, finance, property management, and executive education, and one of the most international universities in Britain.
With global reach and local clout, we are a business school that few can touch, and our international MBA is unique in Africa. Henley is the only international, quadruple-accredited business school on the continent with accreditation from four of the world’s leading academic standards bodies in the UK, Europe, US and Africa. We’ve also been ranked the number one MBA Business School in South Africa for six consecutive years (pmrafrica 2018-2023). Additionally, Henley is the highest ranked business school in Africa for executive education (FT 2023) and number one in the world for faculty diversity. The Henley International MBA was also ranked in the top 40 worldwide by the Financial Times in 2023.
Henley is committed to transformation and holds a level-2 BBBEE status. We believe that society needs bold action from its leaders to drive change and that excellent managers and entrepreneurs have an outsize role to play in building the businesses that build the continent. We’re starting a workplace skills revolution to drive this vision. Our groundbreaking accredited learning pathway, from post-matric to MBA level, busts the barriers to access so that more working South Africans can get a quality degree-level qualification while they work and earn and immediately apply this in the workplace; good for them and good for their employers.
Our family-friendly reputation also marks us out as the business school of choice if you are interested in more than just your own advancement and want to take others in your family and community with you as you rise.
We are always thinking beyond the next horizon: Building people, building knowledge through our expanding research agenda and building hope for the future. By joining Henley, you will be joining something bigger than yourself; you’ll be joining the Movement to Build Africa!
