SOBEDS is an excellent choice to attain your education and prepare for a successful career. Our school is on a pristine and beautiful Howard College campus in Durban, surrounded by natural beauty (and yes, the ocean).
We cannot wait to welcome you physically in our hallways and offices, but due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we will do our very best to virtually provide a welcoming space for your academic development. The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all of us in many ways.

Although the past two years were challenging, on many different levels, we transitioned effortlessly to virtual learning platforms. Our collective resolve to adjust to the online revolution has been unbelievable. Collectively we managed to keep going and credit is due to both students and staff for showing exceptional leadership in this regard.

We offer diverse programs of study that prepare students for success in the real world to solve real problems.
