TSIBA develops ambitious, Purpose-Lived graduates who are invested in building South Africa. TSIBA’s mission is to invest in purpose-driven young people to active economic citizenship and who will lead social change in our country.

TSIBA Business School, registered as TSIBA Education NPC, is an accredited private Higher Education Institution situated in Woodstock, Cape Town. They share a commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the urgent need to educate students to be responsible leaders. They offer unique undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in business and entrepreneurial leadership. 

Ruth Stoffberg, Khwezi Jackson and Velly Masuku are TSIBA alumni, who truly believe in the purpose driven business education model, which is built on a supportive learning community. (See their success stories below)

At TSIBA, all undergraduate students’ study on full or highly subsidised scholarships, thereby removing financial barriers to quality tertiary education. No fees whatsoever are required where household income is less than ZAR350 000 per annum, and applicant scores meet academic entry thresholds required at this institution. 

TSIBA works to transition talented young people from unemployability into active economic citizenship through access to quality business education and leadership development, an aim which the institution believes is paramount given the massive levels of youth unemployment in South Africa. 

Since inception in 2004 TSIBA has provided over 7500 annual tuition scholarships to students who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to access and complete tertiary studies with a relevant and accredited business qualification. This level of financial assistance is made possible through empowerment and philanthropic partnerships TSIBA has with organisations sharing a commitment to transformation and youth development in South Africa.

TSIBA would like to deep dive into some of its courses that students could apply for: 

The TSIBA Higher Certificate in Business Administration (HCBA) is a one-year bridging course that qualifies students for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree. It’s a comprehensive qualification for careers and further studies in business administration and management. The course is underpinned by principles of responsible management education, which aims to produce productive individuals and responsible global citizens. The HCBA course helps students transition from high school to tertiary studies by tapping into how they take initiative, their ambition, and by helping them connect with their purpose. 

They also offer part-time studies for the TSIBA Business School Higher Certificate and Bachelor of Business Administration degree qualifications will be available to students wishing to study at TSIBA from 2023.
