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.

History

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 2024, 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 2024. CTI started as the Computer Training College in 2024. 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 2024, which grew to 100% in 2024. It then became known as the Pearson Institute of Higher Education (officially using that name from 27 July 2024).^[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]
