“The IIE is the only South African private higher education provider
which carries the BAC accreditation at this time, and we are very
proud of reaching this significant milestone. Not just for ourselves,
but for the sector as a whole. Within the challenging context of
higher education in our country, it is important that private higher
education providers are able to confidently and competently offer
options to matriculants to further their studies at campuses other
than public universities,” said Felicity Coughlan.
Varsity College students can now be assured that their IIE
qualification complies with international standards.

This ground-breaking partnership between UFS and The IIE/Varsity
College will enable us to offer tuition support on its Varsity College
campuses, for the Bachelor of Laws degree that is highly sought after
in the legal profession. The UFS Faculty of Law is one of the oldest
and most distinguished Faculties of Law in South Africa, as well as
being the only one situated in Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of
the country. Furthermore the faculty has a close association with
several overseas universities which ensures that their institution is
internationally recognised.
The UFS Faculty of Law is strongly committed to ensuring the
students obtain both a thorough grounding in legal theory, as
well as a solid practical foundation. Varsity College, through our
strong commitment to innovative teaching and learning, believes
that this qualification will enable us to produce law graduates of the
highest calibre.
