Team Scalp Pro, which consists of three IIE-Vega Johannesburg third year students, will be representing South Africa at the L’Oréal Brandstorm international finals in June at L’Oréal’s head office in Paris, France. 

We live in a world where most people have technology at their fingertips, yet systems often dehumanise people, treating them as mere numbers in a queue battling for the attention of a large corporation or a government department’s customer support.

For students in creative industries, talent alone isn’t enough to secure a job. Standing out in a competitive job market requires proof of skill, innovation and industry recognition - and that’s where and why creative award competitions play a vital role.

Three IIE-Vega Alumni are flying the Vega flag high after their outstanding performance in the recently released 2024 Loeries Official Rankings.

Brian Ncube, an IIE BA Honours in Design Leadership (Distance) graduate from IIE-Vega, and Ester Terblanche, an IIE BA in Digital Design graduate from IIE-Vega Bordeaux, were recently named finalists in the globally recognised UX Design Awards. 

We are very proud to share that IIE-Vega School has been ranked top creative institution in the country at the prestigious 2024 Pendoring Awards.

In a groundbreaking collaboration, students have harnessed their technical and creative prowess to tackle a serious health issue: testicular cancer awareness.

An online education is a flexible and convenient choice for many students wanting to further their education. Here are some of the other advantages to studying online.

It’s all in the name. They aim to transform the interaction that people have with devices and content into a satisfying experience. This interaction needs to be engaging, easy to use, and also pleasing to the eye. 

These are the people who make things look awesome, but also manage to get the right message across to the right audience. They are the creative pros who apply visual aesthetics to tell stories that resonate and add value.

In a world where the creative industry is becoming ever more competitive, combined with a drastically changed landscape as a result of the advancement of technology, old ways of preparing students for the world of work no longer suffice.
