There are three main ways in which GIBS Business School is different from other traditional business schools:

• Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship (IRE) focus: GIBS prepares students for jobs but also teaches them how to be innovative entrepreneurs and problem solvers.
• Placement training program: GIBS' placement programme develops students' confidence through the development of interpersonal skills and preparing them for work-related skills. The placement programme starts from day one and continues until graduation.
• Corporate exposure: GIBS provides students with exposure to business and entrepreneurship through guest speakers, industry visits, and leadership speaking engagements.
• Syndicate group system: GIBS develops students' ability to communicate and collaborate with others through teamwork.
• Active campus environment: At GIBS, there is a lot of opportunity for students to participate in various activities, including clubs, competitions, and other events, all while supporting each other academically as well as personally.
• Unlike most business schools, GIBS provides students with the tools and resources necessary to become productive members of their communities, rather than just receiving a degree at the end of four years.
