The Graduate School of Business and Governance (GSB&G) offers tutorial services and developmental training programmes in Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Postgraduate Diploma in Administration (PGDA) – each targeting a different level of management. The school also offers training curricula on Corporate Governance to Executives and Directors.
Our training programme provides you with a vital grounding in a broad spectrum of business and management disciplines, from accounting to finance and marketing to strategic management. Combined with the career development throughout the programme, you will graduate with the competitive edge you need when applying for your dream job.
What makes the training programme unique?
The IBAS training programmes are designed for graduates with a bachelor’s degree in a non-business discipline. The training gives students an opportunity to learn the fundamental principles of business and management, from accounting to strategic management to finance to marketing, in a collaborative, creative environment.
