Vega is an educational brand of The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE). The IIE is South Africa’s leading and largest private higher education institution and is internationally accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC).
Vega’s teaching philosophy is built on the mantra of wisdomwithmagic, creating an academic environment that is based on experiential learning where creatives are trained in strategy and strategists in design-thinking. As South Africa’s only brand focused school, Vega aims to inspire a new breed of thinkers with the expertise to generate meaningful brand ideas that link business profit to adding value to people’s lives.
Vega is the brightest navigational star and Vega lecturers are navigators. They are driven by the ethos of strategic guidance and creative direction as opposed to merely imparting information that is passively absorbed.
The World Economic Forum in 2016 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.
The IIE Vega students graduate at a work-ready level, with 95%* of 2016 graduates employed within 6 months of completing their qualification. Vega was also ranked first in the national Loerie Awards Top Educational Institutions in 2017, maintaining its reputation as a leader in the South African higher education arena.
Students can enrol for IIE undergraduate and post graduate degrees, diplomas, higher certificates and short courses in design, brand communication and brand management, at The IIE Vega campuses across South Africa. These are available to study on a full-time or part-time basis both on campuses nationwide and online.
Vega is proud to boast of the multitude of success stories that are IIE Vega alumni. Not only do they enjoying jet-propelled career trajectories but embody the Vega spirit of continuously questioning norms. They continuously evolve, innovate and add value to lives through the power of brands.
The IIE Vega graduates are in high demand in the industry. As the MD of a prominent advertising agency put it recently: 'Not only do Vega students know what to, do but they know how to think about what to do.' It is for this reason that Vega graduates make the transition from college to career so seamlessly.
The IIE Vega alumni can be found all over the world adding tremendous value to the organisations they work for or have founded themselves. You will find them as the Creative Director of a top international agency in Chicago; as the Marketing Director of UBER in South Africa; as the Chief Creative Officer for East Africa's largest agency in Dar es Salaam; as award- winning designers or completing award-winning MBA dissertations.
In short, wherever you see something exciting, unprecedented, eye-popping or mind-blowing in the world of brand, business and design, it's a safe bet there's a Vega alumnus or alumna behind it.
