Graduate Studies

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 internship and live project experience are important components of the GIBS Curriculum because they allow students to connect academic study with practical application in the workplace. Internships provide students with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience working at a company, learn more about the culture of the organisation and apply theories learned in class to solve challenges faced by businesses.

Live projects provide students with an opportunity to work on real-time issues that the industry is dealing with; students will be required to analyze data, create strategies and make presentations to industry professionals on how they would approach these problems. These hands-on experiences help develop students' problem-solving skills, improve their decision-making abilities, build teamwork skills and confidence.

Additionally, the internship and live project experience gives students an advantage in creating a strong resume and enhances their employability by providing them with experience working in the industry prior to graduation.

Upon completion of GIBS, graduates' career options will be extensive (e.g., Banking & Financial Services; IT & Tech; FMCG; Retail; Consultancy; eCommerce; Health/Medical; Education).

The majority of companies will offer positions such as Marketing Executive; Business Development Executive; HR Executive/Recruiter; Financial Analyst; Relationship Manager; Operations Executive; or Management Trainee.

Graduates will enter the job market with the specializations of their choice (e.g., Marketing, Finance, HR, Business Analytics, etc.). The positions typically available are entry-level managerial and client contact, thus providing graduates with significant room for advancement in their chosen field.

With the appropriate amount of on-the-job training experience and internship involvement, in addition to the placement assistance provided by GIBS, graduates will have an excellent foundation upon which to launch their careers within professional-level corporate settings.
