Who we are & what we do

Our passion is our students.

While we strive to stay locally engaged, it is our purpose to remain nationally relevant and internationally recognized in everything we do. The Career Centre adds value by offering continuous support in producing quality graduates. This is done by closing the gap between students and other role-players as well as opening doors in various professional industries.

Apart from making crazy investments in relevant, rich curricula, we also have amazing support structures in place to help you develop an understanding of the work place and the kind of qualities employers are looking for in graduates. It is at the heart of our efforts to produce graduates who understand the nuances of the South African environment and are equipped to add critical value in addressing the broad social, economic, environmental and ethical challenges faced by society.
