Africa’s aim to achieve 5% economic growth by 2021 depends on connecting African economies to one another, and to those of Asia, Europe and the rest of the world.
Fact is that Africa needs more trade than aid and consequently need more competent managers and leaders to integrate the flow of goods and services among African countries.
Therefore, UJ, as a new-generation university of choice anchored in Africa, seeks to continuously deliver its strengths in serving pan-African ideals.
From the kernel of an idea in 2014, the fully-fledged College of Business and Economics (CBE) came into being on 1 July 2017.
The CBE contains six Schools, namely, the School of Accounting, the Johannesburg Business School, School of Consumer Intelligence and Information Systems, the School of Economics, the School of Public Management, Governance and Public Policy, and the School of Tourism and Hospitality.
Within these Schools are located a broad array of academic departments, centres and an institute diverse in their disciplines and aligned in their vision.
With a current enrolment of 20 000 full-time students; a further 7 000 students enrolled in Continuing Education programmes, and over 500 academic, professional support and administrative staff, the College is well positioned to contribute significantly to pan-African ideals.
The College is ranked fourth in the continent in Business and Management Studies, fourth in Economics and Econometrics and first in the field of Tourism and Hospitality (and 37th in the Shanghai Ranking).
