The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is an internationally recognised test measuring verbal, quantitative and reasoning skills. The GMAT is required for admission into the GSB MBA programme. Find out more.

Once all criteria of your application have been met, i.e., we have the GMAT, MCPA and/or NBT results, as well as all the necessary documentation, the application will be submitted for review to the Admissions Board at the next scheduled board meeting. Suitable candidates will then be contacted for an interview. Once the interview is complete, candidates would ordinarily receive an answer within three weeks.

No. Interviews are conducted in major city centres locally as well as internationally. In the event that we do not have an interviewer in your area, the interview will be conducted telephonically or via video call.

Funding is limited, and we urge all applicants to seek funding from other sources such as employer sponsorship or a student loan. We will, however, do our utmost to assist a student in need.

Please refer to the information on available funding for specific programmes on each programme's website page.

No. South African and African permanent residents and citizens pay a minimum of 50% of the fees before registration. The balance of fees must be paid by the end of June of that year. International students are required to pay their full fees before registration. Please refer to the Fees Handbook at http://www.uct.ac.za/apply/fees.

The IELTS and TOEFL are English language proficiency tests. The UCT GSB uses English as a medium of instruction and examination. An international applicant whose first language is not English has to write either the IELTS or the TOEFL test. You do not have to wait for the results of your TOEFL or IELTS test, to apply to GSB. If the English proficiency test results have not arrived before you wish to submit in your application, put a note in with your application package, stating that you will be submitting the proficiency test results separately. Try to give a predicted date on which this will be done. Your application cannot be completely processed before the TOEFL/IELTS results have been received; however, some preliminary assessments can be made.

International candidates need to obtain a study permit from the South African Department of Home Affairs.  Read more...
