As the year winds down and the focus turns to 2025, amid the nervous wait for thousands of matric results, it is always refreshing to find education providers who employ creative tactics to woo new students.
Public universities, such as the University of Cape Town, University of the Witwatersrand, University of Johannesburg, University of Pretoria and others, raise the bar in targeting new students with innovative campaigns.
However, they have competition ahead. Private education provider Regent Business School has launched an inspiring new campaign for 2025 enrolments
“Surround Yourself with Success” is aimed at inspiring future business leaders.
It may sound like something one reads from the countless motivational pieces of advice one finds on social media. But it is built on the idea that success often stems from surrounding yourself with ambitious, like-minded individuals. The campaign invites students to join a vibrant community of professionals, industry experts and mentors.
It focuses on 2025 enrolments for programmes like an MBA, DBA, BCom, and Higher Certificate and highlights the value of engaging with a successful network.
The campaign particularly appeals to mature students ready to advance their careers or switch fields – a growing segment in Regent Business School’s MBA and DBA programmes.
According to Regent Business School marketing manager Prabashni Reddy, students gained academic knowledge and practical insights through an established network of accomplished professionals.
The school’s postgraduate programmes offer clear paths for those ready to progress. The MBA and DBA programmes provide thorough training and mentorship from expert faculty and industry leaders, helping students reach impactful careers.
South Africa’s supply chain sector is thriving, with career opportunities at all levels, from logistics and procurement to executive roles.
The school is one of the few institutions offering a complete pathway in supply chain management, from foundational courses to advanced degrees. Supply chain professionals are vital in maintaining efficiency, making this sector a cornerstone of the country’s economy.
Data intelligence has become essential in business, and the school recently introduced a postgraduate qualification in business intelligence to meet this need.
Its project management courses are also attracting interest. They prepare graduates to lead projects from start to finish, a valuable skill across industries.
As matriculants consider their next steps, Regent Business School encourages them to explore options like a BCom, which remains the top choice among young students. Nearly 43% of Regent Business School’s students are enrolled in the BCom programme, which provides a strong foundation for finance, marketing, management and other careers.
The business school says its diverse programmes prepare students for roles at every level, allowing them to grow as their careers evolve.
Given the challenges in the public sector, private education schooling and tertiary education is booming.
To make it big, one needs to surround oneself with people of high standards and ambition. Don’t settle for mediocrity.
