ABOUT US
Our business model focuses on two target groups: Internal Students are those who register for MDP (Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma); MPhil and PhD programmes with South Valley University (SVU) - an ODL institution registered in Lusaka, Zambia and accredited by the Higher Education Authority. The Global Centre for Academic Research is a research unit of this SVU.
The second group of students is made up of External Students. These students are registered for their postgraduate studies in different universities in South Africa and beyond. We also provide coaching and mentoring for them, together with external students in what we call the Community of Practice (COP). For more information read the C.O.S.T.A.
