Who is STADIO higher education and what does it offer?
STADIO Higher Education was birthed from the consolidation of four former brands, being Embury Institute for Higher Education , Lisof, Prestige Academy and Southern Business School, and launched in October 2020. This was a key strategic milestone and resulted in STADIO Higher Education becoming a comprehensive institution offering around 50 accredited programmes across its Schools of Commerce; Administration & Management; Education; Architecture & Spatial Design; Media & Design; Fashion; Information Technology; Law; Policing & Law Enforcement; and Arts & Humanities, over both distance learning and contact learning modes of learning delivery, with a physical presence at 8 campuses nationwide.
“We take a profound interest in what our students need, and what our country and the world of work need. We offer higher education specifically designed to not just help individuals realise their dreams, but to help a
nation grow”- Johan Human – COO, STADIO Higher Education
STADIO Higher Education focuses on widening access with success, and in the latest graduate desirability survey, 83% of respondents indicated that STADIO graduates are sufficiently equipped for the workplace.
