Achievement for the UFS School of Management
2007-10-04
(Translated from an article that appeared in Volksblad of 27 September 2007)
The School of Management at the University of the Free State (UFS) obtained an achievement in various areas of an annual survey done by the Financial Mail. In the survey the opinion of MBA students was asked on various aspects of schools of management at South African universities.
The UFS School of Management obtained second place in terms of the quality of its curriculum and its administrative support. The teaching of two subjects, namely human resource management and marketing, achieved the top position in the division on subject standard. Leadership achieved the second position.
Students were also asked how much the schools of management contributed to the development of certain competencies such as decision making, creative thinking, problem solving, team work, leadership, communication and ethics. The UFS School of Management was rated first in terms of communication and second in terms problem solving.
The school came third in terms of business connections in the division on the expectations of students about what the schools of management can offer them.
This year 15 of the 16 registered schools of management in South Africa took part in the survey.
