In the national survey of accredited public and private business schools offering MBA and MBL degrees in South Africa, employers rated MBA graduates and students in their workplace. Employees were ranked according to a list of criteria, including academic knowledge, entrepreneurial skills, ethical business conduct, strategic management, leadership skills and operational management. 

"We pride ourselves on our MBA graduates. They prove to be exemplary performers in the marketplace, raising the bar and setting an example that commands respect. Milpark Business School graduates are responsible leaders who project concern for humanity and the earth in the context of accountable business practice. Grounded by strong, local business roots, they tackle the marketplace with a global vision and are equipped with a solid foundation and the core competencies required to manage a successful business," says Cobus Oosthuizen (Ph.D.), Dean of Milpark Business School. 

A key objective of Milpark's Business School is to enhance the potential of present and future business leaders in South Africa by enabling them to compete successfully in the global marketplace. To address this goal, Milpark offers a multi-disciplinary MBA programme with a strong practical orientation. With two intakes per year (in January and July), Milpark Business School's flexible delivery options are designed to fit today's modern, time-sensitive lifestyle, with the option to study through contact learning via evening or weekend classes, or distance learning.

Since 2009, Milpark's MBA has consistently been rated in the Top Ten of Accredited Business Schools in South Africa, further cementing the institution's relevance and position in the upper ranks of local business schools. 

Milpark Education's Business School was established in 1997 and was one of the first private providers of management higher education in South Africa. In 2007, Milpark Education (Pty) Ltd was registered as an independent Private Higher Education Institution (PHEI) with the Department of Higher Education and Training (registration number 2007/HE07/003).
