How Are Universities Accredited in South Africa?

Table of Contents

business schoolOne of the biggest concerns that any parent has when a child is planning to study further is the topic of university accreditation in South Africa. Every parent wants their child to get the best possible start in life, and as such, universities on the prospective short list for application need to meet certain requirements. Accreditation ensures that all educational facilities adhere to standards that are set forth by independent governing boards and agencies. Simply put, it makes all the difference between an authentic qualification and a piece of paper that is recognised nowhere but the school by which it was issued.

South Africa is home to some of the best tertiary institutions in the world. In addition to academic, technology, law and medicine, many top business schools can be found here. Traditional on-campus facilities and remote learning facilities provide students with more flexibility and choice than ever before, allowing local and international students from urban and rural centres to achieve their dreams of studying further. Through the many universities found across the country, a wide variety of Higher Certificates, diplomas and degrees are offered for undergraduate and postgraduate students. To ensure that these qualifications are legally valid and granted according to standards set forth by the Higher Education Act, South African learning facilities report to their own councils.
