THE DEAN

Message from the Dean On behalf of our School, staff and students, welcome to the Copperbelt University – School of Business. We are the oldest and one of the leading business schools in Zambia. As dean of the School, I am exceptionally proud of our deep rooted heritage of providing experience-based business education that our school has endorsed and sustained since its establishment in 1978. Since its inception, the school has made great strides in advancing business knowledge in Zambia and its neighborhoods. Our programmes are designed to prepare students to become problem solving leaders with the moral depth necessary to meet the challenges of critical remodelling in the business environment and society and will continue to contribute to the economic and social advancement of Zambia and the region. Located in the economic copper-rich region of Zambia and a campus in the capital city of Zambia, the school continues to attract high caliber students from around the country and the region. The School of Business believes that every student should be readied with opportunities to innovate and realize their dreams.
