What It Means to Be a Vossie

Post by Eduvos, March 26, 2025.

At Eduvos, we believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge – it’s about creating a sense of belonging, fostering community, and shaping your future. That’s why, from the moment you enrol with us, you become a Vossie, which is rooted in our name, values, and culture.

The Meaning of Eduvos

Our name, Eduvos, carries deep meaning and embodies our commitment to higher education and personal development.

“Edu” is a reference to education, representing the importance of learning and acquiring knowledge for your personal and academic development. This reinforces our commitment to providing quality higher education and holistic learning environments where you can create, thrive, and explore.
“Vos” emphasises on you. It’s all about empowering our Vossies to realise their full potential, to push boundaries, and to grow into their best selves.

Together, “Edu” and “Vos” form a name that’s all about education that empowers and transforms, guiding you towards becoming the person you were meant to be.

Our Values, Your Journey

We believe that your education extends far beyond the lecture room. We’re committed to helping you grow not just academically but holistically, preparing you to step confidently into the workforce while driving impactful change.

You become a Vossie the moment you walk through our front doors. Across our 12 campuses, we’ve created inclusive spaces where Vossies can feel accepted, valued, and empowered as they navigate the exciting chapter of life after high school.

Our values guide the Eduvos community and shape the success of our students:

Showing up with humanness
Thinking and acting with entrepreneurial spirit
Taking accountability to learn and grow
Contributing by driving relevance
