adminBULAWAYO’S first online college Bulawayo Varsity College (BVC), formerly Bulawayo Online College, has partnered two international based organisations in a move set to turn the establishment into one of the country’s leading premium educational institutions.
In an interview with Sunday Life, the founder and director of the institution, Nqobile Moyo (25) said the online college has also been licenced by a Chinese institution — Study in China Admission System (SICAS) to recruit international students.
Study in China Admission System is an efficient, accurate and safe authorised online platform to help international students directly get admissions into universities and colleges in China.
Established to help international students study in China, SICAS is the platform authorised by the largest number of China’s universities to help international applicants directly get admissions for studying in China with the fastest speed.
“We have taken a step further in growing to be a local and internationally recognised institution. It hasn’t been an easy road where finance is concerned but we are getting there.
With these two partners we hope to see the institution grows to be as big as some renowned ones across the globe,” said Moyo.
He said they would soon embark on a massive marketing campaign to promote the institution, which was founded in 2015.
“We are expecting a consignment of about 20 computers from our partners and hope to enrol more students,” said Moyo.
He added that they changed the name of the institution because they felt the term “college” would limit the institution.
“We applied to the ministry to change the name of the college as we felt it would limit us as an institution.
“Also we want to attract international students to our institution so that we become a world renowned one,” said Moyo.
Bulawayo Varsity College offers educational programmes such as Information Technology, Computer Science, Marketing, Management and International Trade and Economics to mention but a few.
“The main drive of BVC is to turn around or improve the educational system of our country in the sense that employed people can register to better their education,” said Moyo.
A teacher by profession, Moyo studied for a diploma in Information Technology at the Bulawayo Polytechnic College in 2011. — Peter Matika
