I am delighted to welcome you as a prospective or current student at the Department of Business Management at Stellenbosch University.

The main purpose of our department is to prepare our students to excel in business management in any organisation in South Africa and further afield. We strive to provide a learning environment in which our students and staff can reach their full potential in order to make a meaningful contribution to the ecosystem in which they find themselves.

Global developments, new technologies, climate change and pandemics are increasingly disrupting the world of work as well as our societies. At the Department of Business Management we embrace these challenges. We adopt new teaching and learning methods. We explore ground-breaking possibilities utilising our research expertise, and we enrich our curricula with this knowledge.

Well-qualified and committed staff help to create the optimal learning environment for our students. It is also important for us to maintain the highest possible academic and administrative standards.

Although the 2022 academic year still holds some uncertainties in the light of Covid-19, we are excited to have you back with us on campus and in the classroom.

We also invite our alumni, members of the business community and staff to join our activities and to learn, explore and grow with us.

Professor Christo Boshoff
