About Tshwane School for Business & Society
Founded in 1997, we started by offering the University of Wales MBA in Pretoria, South Africa. In 2004, we were accredited with 14 other Business Schools in South Africa to offer a South African accredited MBA. Since then many students have completed our MBA programme and have gone on to become prominent business and public leaders in South Africa and internationally.
​
In 2018 we were also accredited to offer the prestigious DBA qualification. As the only business school in the Capital City and Tshwane Metro area, we are right in the heart of the country’s leadership, power and influence, which allows us to be a strategic influencer of note. We also offer a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (PDBA). The PDBA is a very substantial programme and once completed allows students can apply for our MBA programme. These programmes are also offered to our TUT Campuses in Mbombela, and Polokwane.
In 2019 we changed our name from TUT Business School to the Tshwane School for Business and Society (TSB) to better reflect our vision of becoming a Business School with prominent impact on the South African society. As such, we endeavour to create an environment that enables our students and staff to think ambitiously and creatively, and to act with a great sense of resourcefulness and responsibility to achieve lofty goals.
TSB has a sought after three tier Executive Education portfolio of open and customised programmes.
​
Through partnerships we offer programmes in entrepreneurship (ICIE), management development in the Agri-Retail industry, and a municipal management development programme.

TSB is a preferred partner of the National School of Government to offer various education, training and development programmes. In partnership with the Community Associations Institute USA (CAI) we offer a benchmark professional management development programme for community asset managers (residential estate managers) in South Africa and Africa.
The TSB is the official custodian of all management development at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). Our Higher Education leadership development programmes are offered to other Universities as customised programmes.
