Workshops regularly held on topics such as effective communication, personality development and corporate etiquette reinforce students' confidence and interpersonal skills.Furthermore, students gain valuable insight into real-world business scenarios through mentorship from both professors as well as people who are considered leaders within the industry, internship opportunities and live/ongoing project work provide students with practical experience in leadership development and industry contacts that will assist them in developing the skill set and the mindset necessary to be successful leaders and managers in the corporate business environment.

Tuition payments can be made in several equal payments each semester, which allows students an easier way to plan financially than having to pay all tuition costs upfront. GIBS also offers merit-based scholarships and discounting on fees to students with good academic qualifications and high test scores (e.g., CAT/MAT/CMAT/XAT/ATMA/GMAT) as well as demonstrated potential through their admission process. Students with the highest percentiles and consistent academic achievement will have greater access to these scholarship opportunities. The combination of manageable payment plans and merit-based financial aid will make it substantially easier for many students and their families to pursue a high-quality management education. Let me know if you would like to learn more about the qualifications and range of typical scholarships!

Academic faculty provide students with a solid foundation through core management principles, frameworks and academic research based on academic teachings. In contrast, industry practitioner and visiting faculty members provide students with useful, practical information relating to daily operations within their respective corporations, including current market conditions; case studies; and examples of how companies operate in relation to each other, etc.This balance between both academic and industry faculty allows students to learn both the meaning of what type of action or behaviour is involved and how those actions and behaviours are used within the context of business. Industry faculty will typically share with students examples of the types of real problems they have faced and the types of decisions they have made, and what type of expectations they have for employees working at their companies. This will help create an engaging classroom environment through shared experiences; thus providing students with an integrated learning experience of theory through practice, and as a result, prepare them to perform with confidence in their new corporate careers.
