Eduvos Partnership Will Expand Study Options. In a revolutionary move for education in Africa, Eduvos, a leading private higher education institution in South Africa, has partnered with Emeritus, a global EdTech powerhouse.
This Eduvos and Emeritus partnership marks the first collaboration of its kind in Africa, unlocking access to internationally acclaimed courses for local students and working professionals. The aim is simple yet powerful: deliver world-class education at an affordable price.
What Is the Eduvos-Emeritus Partnership?
Emeritus, recognised by Time Magazine as the No. 1 EdTech Company in the World, has joined forces with Eduvos to offer a curated catalogue of short professional courses. This collaboration is set to break traditional barriers in education, allowing students across Africa to enrol in elite international programmes without having to leave their home country or jobs.
Who Is Emeritus and Why Does It Matter?
Emeritus has over 13 years of experience delivering premium digital education. They partner with 80+ top-tier global institutions and operate in more than 20 countries with a workforce of over 2,000 employees. They’ve also been ranked among the top 150 most transformational digital learning companies by Global Silicon Valley (GSV).
This reputation for excellence makes them an ideal match for Eduvos, which is known for innovation and inclusivity in African education.

These will be accessible exclusively through Eduvos’s custom-built Emeritus portal, making navigation, enrolment, and progress tracking seamless for every student.
Affordability Without Compromise
One of the major highlights of this initiative is its cost-effectiveness. Traditional executive education has always been priced for corporations, leaving out individuals. The Eduvos-Emeritus platform breaks that barrier by offering affordable short courses to ambitious professionals, without compromising on quality.
This means:
- No relocation costs

From AI and data science to leadership and finance, learners can choose what fits their goals. The programme also aligns with South Africa’s national objectives for economic growth and skills development.
