Yes — GIBS Business School does provide opportunities for students outside the offered course; however, it does not currently offer a formal dual degree on a standalone basis. Instead, GIBS provides global exposure and international learning via:

International/Global Exposure Initiatives

International Immersion Programs: Short-term study tours or academic visits to partner universities outside South Africa. In these programs, students will interact with global faculty, participate in workshops, and learn about the international business environment.
The Global Guest Lecturers/Webinar Sessions: Session held with international faculty and business leaders that broaden the students' global perspective.
Collaborative workshops / Student Exchange Opportunities (where possible): Collaborate with partner schools to facilitate student attendance to classes or projects at the school of the partner institution, based on the partnership and student eligibility.

Dual Degree Pathways
While GIBS cannot independently issue a traditional dual degree (two full degrees from different universities), it may establish partnerships or pathways that enable students to obtain additional certifications or build stackable credentials, thereby enhancing their overall marketability.
