Established in 1996, TGSL has consistently demonstrated its commitment to excellence in management and education. Our foundational vision is to emerge as a premier provider of postgraduate qualifications in the fields of business management, development planning, and public administration and management. To realise this objective, the School is dedicated to delivering high-quality programmes, conducting cutting-edge research and actively engaging with communities not only in South Africa but also within the Southern African Development

The TGSL takes pride in offering three Master’s programmes that have received full accreditation from the Council on Higher Education. Additionally, we are honoured to be affiliated with esteemed organisations such as the South African Business Schools Association (SABSA) and the Association of African Business Schools (AABS).

Our Master’s programmes are meticulously tailored to cater to middle and senior managers across various sectors, including the public service, civil society and corporate domains. These programmes are delivered using a hybrid methodology, combining face-to-face and online learning components. This blended approach promotes student accountability while affording them the flexibility to balance their academic pursuits with other commitments.

Moreover, face-to-face interactions create a dynamic learning environment, enabling students to engage meaningfully with their peers and experienced lecturers.
