Due to the quality of our programmes and our approach towards global best practices, we have been recognised by numerous regional and international accreditations and ranking organisations. These accreditations affirm our undeniable commitment, over the last 30 years, to world-class standards in teaching, learning, research, academic and professional management.

LBS has been ranked every year, since 2007 by the Financial Times of London, among the top global providers of open enrolment executive education and in custom executive education since 2015. The latter ranked number one in Africa on the 2020 Financial Times list. LBS’ MBA programmes have held Tier One positions on CEO Magazine’s Global MBA rankings for three consecutive years. The School is listed among the top 50 global business schools on The Economist magazine’s 2018 Executive MBA ranking.

At LBS, we believe in community and collaboration. This has pushed us to join a number of international educational associations to give our participants access to global exchange programmes; We are members of the Association of African Business Schools (AABS), the Global Business School Network (GBSN), the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). GMAC is an organisation of leading graduate management schools in the world and the owner of the GMAT exam.

Our many years of training next-generation business leaders have created a robust alumni association with more than 8,000 members. This asset base, as well as the close relationship with the corporate world, ensures that the programmes offered, as well as having international standards, also have local relevance.
