About Vega School Johannesburg

Vega was formed in 1999 in anticipation of the shift in the global paradigm away from conventional marketing and advertising toward a synchronous cohesion of design, branding and business. With the reconfiguration of traditional platforms and the emergence of new ones, it is the art, craft and science of branding that has become the universal language of the marketplace. Think of brands such as Google, Greenpeace and Apple: brands are far more than letters and logos but powerful cultural forces shaping the world as we know it.
Concomitant with this seismic shift in the industry landscape arose an urgent need to educate South Africa’s most talented young minds in preparation for this brave new world. A new school of thought was called for and Vega answered that call. With branding being the DNA of Vega, the school is ideally positioned to meet the rapidly growing needs of industry by supplying students with the conceptual, strategic and practical skill-sets required to rise to the challenge of the future.
The World Economic Forum in 2024 revealed the findings of its study entitled The Ten Skills You Need to Thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The three skills topping this list are Complex Problem Solving; Critical Thinking and Creativity. These are the cornerstones upon which Vega is built. Vega therefore aims to graduate a new breed of thinker by delivering fully accredited Certificates, Baccalaureates, Honours and Masters programmes in brand leadership; brand management; brand innovation; brand strategy and creative brand communication.
An IIE degree is of the exact same standard as one found in any state university or private university.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

All applicants for The IIE undergraduate degree studies, including international students, are required to write the Academic and Quantitative Literacy (AQL) – National Benchmark Test (NBT), unless they:

have attained the age of 23 before or during the first year of registration; OR
have been admitted on the basis of mature age; OR
are accessing a degree with a higher certificate, 240 or 360 credit diploma or advanced certificate; OR
have previously been admitted to degree studies elsewhere; OR
have enrolled in the distance mode on a programme- the writing of the NBT AQL test is recommended, but not compulsory.

A student’s Academic Literacy (AL) score of the AQL – NBT is used for placement in student support programmes and does not replace the admission requirements for a specific degree programme.
The provisions of this section do not apply to qualifications in which Introduction to Scholarship A (ITSA) and/or Introduction to Scholarship B (ITSB) are modules which bear credits. In these cases normal assessment and completion rules apply.
For those qualifications in which ITSA/ITSB are not credit bearing modules any student who does not provide a verified AQL-NBT score of 64 or higher PRIOR to registration is automatically registered in these modules and will be billed for them where relevant. Any student who supplies a verified score of 64 or higher within three weeks of the start of the first semester will then be deregistered from these modules and the billing will be reversed. Students who complete ITSA and ITSB will receive a Short Learning Programme certificate for the modules.
The onus is on students to make use of the support available to benefit from these modules. The details of this support will be communicated by the campus or administrative team responsible for the student support on their qualification.
