Editor LauraThe requirements for MBA at Unisa are nominal, and the course schedule is flexible to accommodate hard-working and career-oriented people who want to climb the professional ladder. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is generally seen as the ticket to executive positions in most establishments, and this is generally the province of business executives who have gained tremendous experience and exposure working for several years in different positions within corporate organizations.
The MBA program equips students with the skills to come closer to the driver’s seat in the organizations where they work. While it may not be a requirement in many organizations, it is recognized as a sign of readiness; a sign of personal development. Understandably, it could be difficult to find a CEO who does not have an MBA; organizations usually appoint only people who are passionate and driven to such positions.
While the program is rigorous, and extensive in range; the University of South Africa MBA program is flexible, and students are able to study at their own paces for up to the period of 8 years.
