Eduvos that is formerly Pearson Institute of Higher Education and Midrand Graduate Institute and Computer Training Institute (CTI) is a South African private higher education institution that is headquartered in Midrand, Gauteng Province and that has 12 campuses across South Africa. [1] It offers bachelor's degrees in commerce, information technology, law, social sciences, creative arts, communications and bio sciences. It is also offers a number of postgraduate qualifications including Bachelor of Arts Honours in Graphic Design, Bachelor of Science Honours in Information Technology and a Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Business Management.
Eduvos was the new name given to a combination of Midrand Graduate Institute and CTI. Midrand Graduate Institute was first known as Midrand Campus, later known as Midrand University. Established in 1989, it soon attained acceptance as a private university-level, degree-conferring institution - one of the first of its kind in southern Africa. It formed a partnership with CTI Education Group in 2006. CTI started as the Computer Training College in 1979. The main approach was to offer degrees at various remote campuses nationwide and conferred by Midrand. Qualifications are offered at 12 campuses in South Africa. Pearson Education acquired a 75% shareholding in Midrand Graduate Institute during 2011, which grew to 100% in 2013. It then became known as the Pearson Institute of Higher Education (officially using that name from 27 July 2016). [2] As the Pearson Institute of Higher Education it grew to 12 campuses in South Africa and was taken over and established a new identity. It is now simply known as Eduvos, and the branch specifically as Eduvos Midrand. Eduvos derives its name from a combination of "Edu" and "Vos" meaning you in various languages alluding to their tag line - your education. [3]
Eduvos is registered with the Department of Education (South Africa) as a Higher Education Institution (No.2001/HE07/008) in accordance with the Higher Education Act, and its bachelor's degrees are accredited by the Council on Higher Education's Higher Education Quality Committee.

An academic degree is a qualification awarded to a student upon successful completion of a course of study in higher education, usually at a college or university. These institutions often offer degrees at various levels, usually divided into undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The most common undergraduate degree is the bachelor's degree, although some educational systems offer lower-level undergraduate degrees such as associate and foundation degrees. Common postgraduate degrees include engineer's degrees, master's degrees and doctorates.
A bachelor's degree or baccalaureate is an undergraduate degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years. The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science. In some institutions and educational systems, certain bachelor's degrees can only be taken as graduate or postgraduate educations after a first degree has been completed, although more commonly the successful completion of a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for further courses such as a master's or a doctorate.
Undergraduate education is education conducted after secondary education and before postgraduate education, usually in a college or university. It typically includes all postsecondary programs up to the level of a bachelor's degree. For example, in the United States, a student pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree is known as an undergraduate student while a student pursuing a master's or doctoral degree is a graduate student. Upon completion of courses and other requirements of an undergraduate program, the student would earn the corresponding degree. In some other educational systems, undergraduate education is postsecondary education up to and including the level of a master's degree; this is the case for some science courses in Britain and some medicine courses in Europe.
A Bachelor of Technology is an undergraduate academic degree in the field of engineering and technology conferred after the completion of a four-to-five-year program of studies at an accredited university or accredited higher education institution, such as a college or university in India and other countries. In India, this is a four-year undergraduate degree awarded by few universities and colleges which is equivalent to four-year Bachelor of Engineering with Honours.
