Lack of compassion towards students
I was at UCT for 2 years. The first year I placed myself of the Dean’s List and hoped UCT would value my contributions as a student. Instead, the following year they made an error with my curriculum and approved it without properly evaluating certain courses. This negatively impacted the length of my degree as in second semester they gave me no option but to drop the course already PASSED their set deadline to pick up new courses. This forced my degree to lengthen due to their negligence. Now I have left UCT and am in the process of transferring internationally. Instead of support with this process from UCT regarding specific documents I need, I am left with NO communication after several attempts at emails and phone calls to the institution. They’ve offered very little assistance with this matter. It truly highlights exactly how UCT view its students. I am extremely disappointed.

Great fit for self-starters into practical work.
Overall my experience in the Master's In Management Grand cole Specialisation in Finance has been incredibly rewarding yet demanding The biggest strength of the program is definitely the combination of intensive hands-on projects and deep market simulations which gave me practical financial skills I can actually use in the industry [...]
