Introduction
The JBS online Master of Business Administration (MBA) is fully online and offers electives to suit your area of expertise. The elective streams include subjects in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation, Leadership and Digital Transformation. The initial focus of this MBA will fall on finding your purpose. You will then learn the skills and requirements to be a master in your field, with a solid understanding of national and international trends.
The faculty members are “professors of practice” and have a practical approach, providing students with the knowledge and skills needed to grow a business. Students selected for this programme also will benefit from exposure to networks across the globe.
There is no thesis but rather a capstone project that requires the student to unpack a real-life business challenge they may have experienced, working with a supervisor to come up with a workable solution.
