Cape Town - The University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB) has, for the third consecutive year, been rated the top school in the Professional Management Review (PMR.africa) annual survey of accredited business schools offering MBA and MBL degrees in South Africa.
The USB is celebrating its 50th year of providing business education this year and will soon see the arrival of its new director, Prof. Piet Naudé.
The school was the first business school at an African university to receive the triple crown of international accreditations, namely AACSB, Equis and Amba.
The respondents (employers) in the PMR.africa survey rated the MBA graduates and students in the workplace across 19 attributes.
USB scored 8.00 out of a possible 10.00. For this achievement the school will receive PMR.africa’s Diamond Arrow Award.
“This ranking demonstrates USB’s excellent reputation as a foremost provider of business education in South Africa. It also shows how favourably South Africa’s business and public sector leaders judge USB,” said USB’s marketing director, Marietjie Wepener.
“The fact that USB has now been placed in the top position for three years in a row (2012, 2013 and 2014) and achieved an average 8 out of a possible 10 this year, shows the trust that employers have in the MBA students and graduates of this business school.”
According PMR.africa CEO, Johan Hattingh, human resource directors, managers and line managers at listed and large companies, national, provincial and local government departments/municipalities and state-owned enterprises participated in the survey.
“The purpose of the awards is to celebrate excellence and to set a benchmark for others to aspire to,” he said.
