In an increasingly competitive job market, choosing the right tertiary institution is more important than ever. For today’s matriculants, the question isn’t just, “Where can I study?” but, “Where can I build my future?”
Discover the Richfield advantage: Academic programmes for real-world skills

The right choice isn’t just about academics. It’s about finding a place that truly prepares you for what’s next.

Richfield, a trusted leader in IT and business education, has spent the past 30 years empowering students to turn academic potential into professional success through programmes designed to meet the demands of today’s workforce.

Graduates who hit the ground running

Employers are no longer impressed by degrees alone.

According to the 2024 IITPSA ICT Skills Survey, South African employers are increasingly prioritising hands-on experience and real-world skills. It’s not just about what you know—it’s about what you can do from day one.

Richfield’s Work-Integrated Learning program brings together academic theory and hands-on experience, ensuring students leave with the skills and confidence to excel in real-world environments.

The results speak for themselves. Richfield graduates have gone on to build careers at leading organisations like Mr Price, Absa, Standard Bank, Vodacom, and Nedbank, among others.

These successes reflect not only the academic foundation of Richfield’s programmes but also their focus on producing graduates who are ready to make a real impact.

Education that fits your life

Every student’s journey is different. Whether balancing work, family, or other commitments, Richfield students have the freedom to choose the study mode that works best for them:

Contact learning: Experience a bustling campus environment with state-of-the-art facilities, free WiFi, and collaborative spaces across Richfield’s eight nationwide campuses, located in Bryanston, Umhlanga, Cape Town, Centurion, Newtown Junction, Pretoria, Durban, and Polokwane.

Both options are supported by expert lecturers and a curriculum designed to stay ahead of industry trends, ensuring students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to succeed in their chosen fields.

Preparing for tomorrow’s careers
