Introduction

The Namibia Business School (NBS), the number one business school in Namibia, was established in response to the needs of the Namibian market.

 

In 1999, the Founding Vice-Chancellor of the University of Namibia, Prof. Peter Katjavivi, assisted by the former Head of the Economics Department, Prof. Mohammed El Toukhy, joined forces with the FNB Foundation and entered into a collaboration agreement with the Maastricht School of Management in The Netherlands to offer an Executive MBA Programme at UNAM.

 

Since 2000, many students have graduated with more postgraduate qualifications including Diplomas, MBA (with specialisations), and DBA.  Namibia Business School offers business Executive Programmes tailor-made to suit the requirements of the industry in the 21st century.
