Graduate Studies at Cape Town University, Graduate Business School
About CTU, GSB:
Cape Town University’s Graduate School of Business is located in the center of one of Cape Town’s main tourist attractions, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. The main building for GSB, originally housing convicts who built the breakwater, has been fully renovated to meet the needs of a modern educational facility. The school’s location is perfect for easy access to shopping, restaurants and sporting activities. The courses offered to exchange students stem from business-oriented programs such as their MBA program, Executive MBA, PDBA (Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration), and AIM (Associates in Management), among others. Because of the school’s focus on business, GSB is recommended for students with a business background and/or are pursuing a business-related degree.
