Our History

Eduvos has a rich history in higher education, spanning over 46 years.

1979

The Computer Training Institute (CTI) was founded and later partnered with Midrand Graduate Institute (MGI), marking the beginning of a significant presence in South Africa’s higher education landscape.

2011

CTI and MGI merged to form the Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE), establishing a credible institution with high standards and a broad footprint in private higher education across the country.

2021

PIHE was acquired by a consortium led by EXEO Capital and Stellenbosch Graduate Institute, and was subsequently rebranded and registered as Eduvos, carrying its legacy into a new era of private higher education.

Meaning of Eduvos

Eduvos is derived from the concept of your education. The "Edu" in Eduvos represents education, custodianship, and responsibility, while "Vos" refers to you – yourself, your journey, and your best self. Together, Eduvos signifies taking ownership of your education and making the best choice for your future.
