Teaching & Education

GIBS Business School uses a student-centric structure to encourage and assist students in choosing their specializations. The initial portion of the programme provides students with core content from the major managerial faculty members of Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations, and Analytics to allow them to gauge their strengths/interests before electing a specialization.

Students will receive personalized one-on-one advisory sessions from faculty members and career counselors to assist in the evaluation of skill sets, career aspirations, and how each of the competency-based management areas relates to specific market demand before selecting their specialization. Students will also have access to practical knowledge of the respective management competencies through various industry-related experiences, including guest speakers, industry interaction events, and internship placement.

The organisation will also provide students with information on industry trends and specific role-related requirements, enabling them to select respective competencies with long-term career growth and opportunity potential.

The teaching approach at GIBS Business School is a hybrid of hands-on and academic learning, utilizing many ways to apply and experience theoretical concepts within businesses. The faculty at GIBS integrates real-world business practices with educational content through use of; case studies, live projects, internships, site visits, and regular visits from industry guest speakers. 

GIBS also incorporates; finishing-school modules/tools, communication/aptitude training sessions, and leadership workshops into their instructional curriculum, all of which are often underutilised in competitive B-schools. GIBS provides a comprehensive learning environment, as every instructor has both academic credentials, and valued industry experience.
