BBA

GIBS Business School has designed a training method that focuses on placement and prepares students to be successful in both interviewing and in meeting the expectations of corporations. The training begins with a series of finishing-school modules that include; aptitude training, communication skills, group discussions, and mock interviews, all of which will help students feel confident and prepared for a successful interview experience.

Other forms of support for students in the preparation process include resume-building workshops, personality development sessions, and corporate etiquette training which all help students effectively present themselves to potential employers during the recruitment process. Students also have the opportunity to attend guest lectures, leadership talks, and interact with industry professionals. By interacting with professionals, students gain an understanding of the expectations an employer will have and what behaviour an employee should demonstrate in the workplace.

Through internships, live projects and mentoring from industry experts, students will also have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and practical exposure so they are well prepared for an interview and, ultimately, a successful career path. This ongoing preparation of students will give them the confidence, skills and professionalism that will be necessary for them to be successful in the interview process as well as in their future corporate careers.

The faculty provide research opportunities for GIBS Business School students by involving them in innovative, research-oriented and entrepreneurial projects as part of the curriculum through taking part in a Research School. This school offers students structured research activities, workshops, and live project work all of which are located under the IRE School. Faculty and industry experts guide students in their execution of these projects and evaluate student performance based on the research, innovative, prototype or business plan that they produce in connection with these projects.

Students are also provided opportunities to conduct research during their internship and academic assignments by designing, developing, and submitting a faculty-supervised report that provides a detailed analysis of a particular business problem. This process enables students to develop their problem solving, analytical thinking and employability skills prior to graduation by allowing them to have a sound basis of practical research experience.
