Dean’s Welcome Note

Welcome to the Herbert Chitepo School of Law and Business Sciences​.  The School draws its inspiration from the University niche of Culture and Heritage.  In view of this, all programmes in the school have modules and/ or topics in the respective subject areas that have an emphasis on the following ethno-commercial activities:

• Trade and Commerce in African traditional societies and cultures from the Munhumutapa period to the emerging of colonial rule.
• Transition from pre-colonial to colonial rule
• Post colonialism trade and commerce in Africa and Zimbabwe in particular.

The core modules also infuse topical issues of trade and commerce in a global context.

Herbert Chitepo School of Law and Business Sciences boasts of collaborative relationships with other business schools around the world.  It was the first Zimbabwean Business School to be a member of CEEMAN – International Management Development Association, with more than 210 institutional members from countries in Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
