Accreditation
The Stellenbosch Business School, along with SBS-ED, has been awarded three prestigious accreditations, AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA, resulting in what is known as the Triple Crown accreditation. Only 1% of business schools worldwide can boast this honour.
Articulation
Articulation refers to the process whereby the credits achieved in a course offered by an institution are interchangeable with a different course, offered either by another institution or within the same institution. Through this process, the participant ensures that they do not repeat a module they have already completed and can move through the curriculum at a faster pace.
SBS-ED has entered into articulation agreements with several institutions. These institutions have been carefully selected according to stringent, academic criteria and ease of access through online and blended learning.
