Our partnership with the knowledge trust

75% of young South Africans are not in education, training, or employment. 

South Africa has the highest youth unemployment rate in the world, and the highest gini coefficient in the world. IU has partnered with The Knowledge Trust to close the skills gap by offering bursaries to empower the youth and build pipelines of future talent for employers.

What our students say

  • The flexible online learning model means I can work during the day and still set aside roughly 5 hours daily to study my course modules. It really helps me balance work and studies. What I also enjoy is the practical approach to learning with industry-relevant case studies. The summarised lecture slides give me a quick understanding of the theoretical concepts without overloading my brain.

    Velile Freddy

    BEng Industrial Engineering, South Africa

  • I chose the MBA program at IU (International University) because I recently left my job to operate my own businesses full-time and I want to learn how to better manage my team and serve as a strategic partner to my clientele. IU is the right choice for me because of its flexibility and international exposure. I am an attorney and thus my work schedule is quite intense, as I work from morning until late at night. Therefore, it is quite useful to be able to schedule my exams around 3am and 4am.

    MBA, South Africa

  • I chose my degree as it’s IT-oriented, which is what I like, and in today’s digital era, the field is bustling with opportunities for graduates. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to get an IU scholarship so I could afford to increase my employability and pursue my dreams.

    Shamila Adegboye

    Bachelor Business and IT, South Africa

  • In addition to growing as an IT professional, I also want to develop professionally in the area of IT business. This gives me the perfect balance between IT and Business.

  • I've found all the modules in my program useful, eye opening and interesting for me. They are all well-structured, informative, and knowledgeable.

    Julia Nkosi

    Master of Engineering, Engineering Management, South Africa

  • My educational journey at IU equips me with the necessary skills to take on management roles and will hopefully open doors internationally for me in my career. Studying online gives me greater flexibility in my study journey and helps with my financial planning. Thanks to IU’s range of study tools, I can also structure my learning more effectively.
