Wits Business School (WBS) has established a new partnership with the Namibia Business School (NBS), which will officially consolidate and strengthen the longstanding relationship between the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Namibia.
This institutional partnership between WBS and NBS identified a number of areas of possible collaboration that embodies all facets of student and faculty exchanges, postgraduate research and supervision, executive education, global study tours, PhD supervision capacity building, external examination and moderation, and grant research proposal writing.
Speaking about the visit to NBS, WBS Director of Development and Partnerships Professor Mills Soko said that effective cooperation between WBS and NBS will contribute significantly to both business schools’ strategic and operational goals, including Africanisation and internationalisation.
“As African business schools it is important to build partnerships with like-minded institutions, opening up opportunities to enhance the learning experience and entrench an international mindset. WBS is delighted to consolidate our ties with NBS and look forward to many initiatives which will be of mutual benefit.”
NBS has previously acted as an anchor campus for WBS students taking part in the SADC study tour and they reaffirmed their commitment to continue to do this.
