Where is Monash South Africa?

Monash South Africa was founded in 2001 as a campus of Monash University Australia. The campus was situated in Johannesburg and was considered to be the largest private higher education precinct in South Africa.

In 2013, Laureate International Universities became the majority shareholder of the institution and MSA was born. The vision for MSA was to develop a truly African brand, rooted in African brilliance.

Both then and now, there was a focus on empowering students with both a local identity and international understanding. As MSA 15 new programmes were introduced onto the course menu.

In 2019, AdvTech acquired MSA and was incorporated into The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE), ADvTECH’s higher education subsidiary. MSA was renamed and rebranded as IIE MSA. Our name may have changed but our offerings remained.

Who is IIE MSA?

From our beginnings as a campus of Monash University to our bright future as IIE MSA, we remain the largest private higher education facility dedicated to quality learning and education excellence. IIE MSA is now a leading brand of The IIE. We pride ourselves with our partnerships and network of institutions and campuses. Our lecturers are specialists in their fields and we are internationally recognised through The IIE’s accreditation by the British Accreditation Council (BAC).

IIE MSA is based at the original Monash South Africa campus in Ruimsig, Johannesburg and is the largest private higher education campus in South Africa.
