GMAT Prep Course

The Immersion Principle

Students on EMBA, MBA, PDBA and AIM programmes at the GSB eat, sleep, live and breathe their subject matter. This depth of involvement underpins the teaching and learning processes that characterise these programmes and contribute to the enormous value students get from their studies. Delegates on the Cape Town Preperation Course can also choose to be resident on campus for the duration of the course, with similar benefits. Contact the Breakwater Lodge directly for accommodation prices.
