Community and Individual Development Association City Campus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Community and Individual Development Association City Campus (or CIDA City Campus) is a private higher education institution in South Africa.

Cida is unique in that it offers a virtually free business degree to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is the only open-access, holistic, higher educational facility in the world which is operated and managed by its students, from administration duties to facilities management. In addition every student is required to return to their rural schools and communities, during holidays, to teach what they have learnt.

The CIDA City Campus BBA degree has been fully accredited by the South African government through the Council of High Education (CHE). Further it is registered by SAQA, the South African Qualifications Authority, at Level 6 on the NQF(National Qualification Framework). CIDA City Campus has further been accredited by the South African Institute of Management, which has historically been the leading accrediting body for business courses [1].
