As enrollment season readies for a start in Botswana’s vibrant tertiary education sector, the Imperial School of Business and Science (ISBS) is quietly emerging as a key player in shaping the country’s future workforce. With a steady trajectory of growth, with BQA and HRDC accreditation, and industry-aligned programmes, ISBS is establishing itself as an institution that offers more than just education.
“We are proud of our commitment to producing industry-ready graduates as we continue to evolve in line with the dynamics of the job market. We focus on bridging academic excellence with real-world impact, fostering leaders who will drive the nation’s (economic) growth for years to come,” said Nidheesh Sharma, the ISBS Managing Director. ‘With humility, we are pleased to announce the commencement of our enrollment drive to the 2025 academic year with a steadfast commitment to providing affordable and quality education. Department of accounting and finance, business and management, education, health and information technology stand in providing unique programmes that propel careers forward,” said the Managing Director, adding, they also have programmes in banking, finance. logistics, public health and education.
According to a statement, the institution’s success has been built on consistent expansion, innovation, and community engagement. Over the past decade, it has achieved key milestones, including accreditation under the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA) and recognition from the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) as one of the country’s top- three private tertiary institutions. In recent years, ISBS has positioned itself as a hub for students seeking to bridge the gap between academics and the real world. With industry-aligned curricula in business, science, and information technology, the institution ensures students acquire practical knowledge and experience before they graduate.
“At ISBS, we recognise that the job market is rapidly evolving. Students need more than just theory and knowledge frameworks; they need exposure, practical skills, and access to professional networks, says Sharma. Our graduates leave with more than degrees, diplomas and certificates, they leave ready to contribute meaningfully to Botswana’s and the global economy,” said an upbeat Sharma. Over 200 students graduate from ISBS each year, joining an expanding alumni network that includes professionals in finance and technology. The institution recently introduced postgraduate offerings, giving students the option to continue their studies locally without needing to leave the country.
The school’s efforts extend beyond its core academic mission. Its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, including the adoption of Modipane Primary School and support for 21 primary and secondary schools, reflect a deep commitment to community development. Furthermore, ISBS is also offering fully paid ISBS Santosh Scholarships to the youth to support the community at large. As Botswana continues to diversify its economy, the institution’s focus on equipping students with both academic and practical skills is becoming increasingly relevant. Local businesses have expressed confidence in ISBS graduates, recognising their ability to adapt quickly and bring value to the workplace. “We see education as a long-term investment not just for our students but for Botswana as a whole. When students succeed, the nation prospers,” noted the Managing Director.
