The Financial Mail has published its market research for ranking the best MBAs in South Africa in 2017, with the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) retaining its dominance.<\/p>\n

The rankings<\/a> place GIBS first in three categories; first choice for graduates<\/strong>, most reputable MBA programme among employers<\/strong>, and best overall reputation among employers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The research was compiled by assessing responses from employers which hire\u00a0MBA graduates and encourage employees to attain them; surveys of MBA graduates; and questionnaires sent to the business schools themselves.
\nData was collected from over 1,200 MBA graduates and executives from 300 private and public sector companies.\u00a014 business schools whose MBA programmes are accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE), took part of the rankings and were required to provide comprehensive data about their MBAs and associated activities.<\/p>\n

The survey questioned graduates on which school they would choose if cost and location were not an issue. GIBS came out top, followed by Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Henley and Wits.<\/p>\n
