NATIONAL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARD

2017 WINNER CERTIFICATE

Richf ie ld Graduate Inst i tute of Technology

REGISTER NOW with the Winner of the National

Business of the Year Award

South Africa’s most affordable Higher Education Institution, Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology (RGIT) has won the National Business of the Year Award. This year’s ceremony was held on the 16 November 2017 at Emperors Palace, Gauteng and marked the 15th anniversary of the National Business Awards.

The event’s most prestigious accolade, was awarded to Richfield before a host of business and government leaders, VIPs and media representatives. Also watching, via live social media updates, were thousands of South Africans whose engagement kept the awards trending for several hours.

Richfield has become a pioneering Higher Education Institution which has evolved with the explosion of digital technologies. Serving South African for almost 3 decades, Richfield has become the knowledge powerhouse it is today, with 33 higher education campuses and 40 TVET campuses countrywide.Having recently won several international awards in Oxford (UK), Geneva (Switzerland), Rome (Italy) and London (UK), ranging from ‘perfection, quality and ideal performance’ to ‘sustainability, quality achievements and technology integration’. It is therefore not surprising that Richfield has taken SA’s top business award for 2017.

For a decade and a half, South Africa’s National Business Awards has recognised outstanding achievements by companies. This year’s list of nominees exemplifies the phrase ‘the Oscars of South African

Business’, which has become synonymous with the National Business Awards. The finalists for the respective awards included Discovery Health, Woolworths, Rennies Travel, CTICC, Microsoft SA, amongst others.

Richfield’s CEO, Jay Ramnundlall, commented, “We were extremely proud to come away with the trophy, especially given the calibre of the organisations we were up against. I would like to thank the Judges for recognising our hard work and our quest to open up distance learning to all. This accolade belongs to everyone at Richfield and provides a motivational boost to our efforts. Respected recognition platforms like the National Business Awards have been shown to enhance brand reputation and we appreciate the exposure this accolade will generate around our learning solutions. In short, we are honoured to accept this award”.

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSc IT) - 3 Years

Today Information Technology goes beyond the design, and develop-ment of computer systems (hard-ware and software) and networks, which were historically used for ob-taining, processing, and distributing data. This field has been growing at a very rapid pace over the last few years, and this growth is expected to remain stable. Thousands of new jobs are been created by IT as we move away from the Information Age and Knowledge Age to the Digital Age.

Students will learn how to deter-mine information needs by under-standing user expectations and converting these to design ele-ments in adressing how to auto-mate business processes, ensuring safeguards with regards to cyber security, cloud computing, internet of things, mobile computing and digital applications development.

The BSc in IT allows students to choose cutting-edge technology electives including artificial intel-ligence and programming or soft-ware engineering. Those seeking a more strategic direction in this space may choose IT Strategic Management and Risk Manage-ment.
