Overview:
The Executive MBA programme is a transformative learning experience targeted at senior managers and executive leaders who consciously want to enhance their ability to conceptualise, rather than their proficiency in functional management. EMBA candidates will learn to: • Go beyond knowledge and theory to include the felt experience of being in management • Become more authentic in their engagement • Find new purpose and fulfilment in their role and develop greater resilience in the workplace • Develop the capacity to integrate multiple perspectives and strategies to build more holistic and sustainable organisations

Minimum Requirements
- Have a minimum of 8 years' work experience and a proven management track record in the public or private sector.
- Students must be fluent in spoken and written English. The UCT GSB Admissions Board could require a TOEFL or NBT for applicants whose mother tongue is not English or who have not received a degree from an English university. The Board also takes motivation essays, standardised assessments, and interviews into account with regard to English proficiency. Final decision at the discretion of the Board.
- Completed either a Bachelor Honours degree or Postgraduate Diploma at NQF level 8. Verification of the qualification's equivalence to a South African degree is also required. This can be done by contacting the South African Qualifications Authority. Candidates unable to meet this requirement can apply through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) route and submit the Portfolio of Learning (POL) assessment form. Prospective EMBA students who will be considered under the RPL policy should have:
- At least an NQF 4 qualification.
- Relevant work experience minimum 8 years or more depending on the NQF level qualification above (i.e. prospective students with a lower NQF level need higher levels of work experience). Three or more years of work experience should have been in a senior management or a relevant professional position.
- Complete the Modified Career Path Appreciation Assessment (MCPA), or an equivalent assessment, which provides an indication of the candidate’s current and future capabilities.
- Submit a curriculum vitae, two referee reports and personal motivations in the form of 3 essays that will be used for selection purposes.
- Applicants must have access to an organisation in which they can complete their assignments.
