FGV's Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (EBAPE), through the Department of International Relations (IR), has signed a cooperation agreement with the University of Cape Town (UCT) - one of the largest business schools in Africa. Thanks to the agreement, EBAPE's MBA students may participate in exchange programs at UCT's Graduate School of Business.  With a strong business presence in emerging markets, the Graduate School of Business is a center of excellence that carries a triple accreditation: EQUIS from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD); AMBA (Association of MBAs) and AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). It is the only African institution with an MBA program in the Financial Times' Top 100 list.
