History

[edit]

The IIE MSA was founded in 2001 as Monash South Africa by Monash University, an Australian university named after a civil engineer, John Monash.[2]

The university was built on an agricultural land in Ruimsig, Roodeport. The first class intake at the IIE MSA was in geography and environmental sciences.[3]

In 2019, it was renamed as IIE MSA after becoming part of The Independent Institute of Education.[2]

In 2026, it merged with Varsity College, HSM, and Vega to form Emeris.[4]

Academia

[edit]

The institution comprises two faculties, namely The Faculty of Business, Engineering and Technology; and The Faculty of Social and Health Sciences.[citation needed]

The IIE MSA offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as short learning programs.[citation needed]
