Our friend Shaun Kingston from Leader.co.za and MBA.co.za sent us through the news about an upcoming Business School expo in South Africa, happening on the 3rd September in Sandton:
Besides the MBA and executive education programmes on offer nationally, leading business schools from across the country will be presenting a number of bursaries, scholarships, competitions, giveaways… the list goes on.
Faculty, admissions staff and alumni will be on hand to provide advice about choosing the right programme, curricula, accreditation, entrance requirements, delivery methods, quality frameworks and funding options.
If you are interested in leadership, management or career development, we strongly encourage you to attend this event. For further information and to register online, visit www.bschoolexpo.co.za
