Business Principles

The four principles of quality, affordability, recognition and

customer service form the business principles on which

Southern Business School has been built.

The quality of our programmes and student services is the

product of internal quality assurance processes that are

continuously monitored. Quality assurance is further

enhanced through regular peer reviews that include

professional bodies, the expectations of both the private

and public sector and the requirements set by the

Department of Higher Education and Training, Council on

Higher Education and the South African Qualifications

Authority (SAQA).

Affordability is paramount to the development of a country

such as ours and we are proud that we are (continuously)

able to meet the demand for quality education at a

reasonable price.

Recognition is reflected in Southern Business School’s

status as a Private Higher Education Institution and

endorsements from public and private Higher Education

Institutions. We recognise previous learning experiences

and endeavour to provide access to higher education for

as many people as possible.

We strive to give recognition to our students at all times

and offer them a superb learning experience through

exceptional customer service. Our customer service

reflects the fact that we recognise our students as the

focus of all our actions.

Mission Statement

Southern Business School provides higher education and training in a framework where quality, affordability, recognition and customer service play a central role.
