Henley Africa Global Executive MBA Scholarships

Henley Business School Limited, South Africa

Scholarship overview

Henley Business School Africa, in Johannesburg, awards scholarships for its Global Executive MBA, an NQF Level 9 (200 credit) part-time programme of 24 months delivered online and in person. Three cohorts (South Africa, UK and the Nordics) meet five times over the 24 months in different locations. The programme fee is R800,000, excluding airfares, visas and travel insurance; accommodation and board at each international destination are included.

For the cohort that started on 7 October 2026, Henley announced a dedicated slate of scholarships in three areas: Women in Executive Leadership, Creative and Cultural Economies, and Sustainability and Responsible Leadership. One scholarship was awarded in each of the women in leadership and sustainability categories, two partial scholarships in the creative and cultural category, and additional partial scholarships to several further candidates in each of the three fields.

Henley also states that it offers a select number of scholarships for each cohort, which candidates can enquire about on application.
