Monash South Africa

IIE MSA commits itself to “impacting lives through higher education”. It confirms its dedication to the South African and African societies and its intention to remain part of future development. Based on its vision of contributing to the development of societies and enabling people to achieve their full potential, IIE MSA is focusing on creating an innovative environment for students to have an optimal learning experience. The institution is continuously focusing on giving expression to its student and learning centred approach. Students at IIE MSA are expected to accept responsibility for their own learning. This approach is supported by a teaching and learning focus which facilitates effective mastering of both theory and application of knowledge. This prepares students for the world of work and enhances their employability and ability to contribute to society as innovative and socially responsible citizens. Small classes and effective small group learning allow students to actively participate in the academic process and optimize the development of their full potential. Direct access to academic and support staff ensures that the individual learning and support needs of students are met. IIE MSA accepts the importance of extra-curricular activities as part of the development of students as total persons. To achieve this, active community engagement and volunteer opportunities are integrated into an active student life. Through this students get the opportunity to deepen their understanding and appreciation for the diversity of their fellow student and of their community. They simultaneously develop excellent skills contributing to their readiness to join society. To ensure that the best possible opportunities to access Higher Education learning are created, IIE MSA supports students to prepare for degree or diploma studies by offering a foundation programme. It further makes provision for school leaving as well as working professionals by providing learning opportunities according to specific schedules and facilitation for each group’s particular learning and personal needs.
