Vision

Southern Business School's vision is to be the most sought after provider of private higher distance education, research and community engagement in the field of management in Southern Africa.

Mission Statement

Southern Business School provides higher education in a framework where quality, affordability and recognition play a central role.

The three principles of quality, affordability and recognition form the cornerstones on which Southern Business School has been built and the princples inform all our actions and decisions.

• The quality of our programmes and student services is the end result of various internal quality assurance processes that are continuously monitored. Externally we ensure quality through regular peer reviews, by adhering to the requirements of professional bodies, and by always aiming to exceed the expectations of industry. Quality is also strictly regulated in the legal framework of the Department of Education, Council on Higher Education (CHE), and the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
• Affordability is paramount in a developing country such as ours and we are proud that we are continuously able to meet the demand for quality education at reasonable cost.
• Recognition is reflected in Southern Business School’s registration with the DoE as a private higher education institution and in our agreements with several public, private and international institutions of higher learning. It also reflects the fact that we recognise our learners as the focus of all our actions. We recognise previous learning experiences and endeavour to open up access to higher education for as many people as possible.
