About Us

For over 15 years, Global Challenge has been involved with the discipleship and leadership formation of numerous students travelling across multiple countries. During our travels, we discovered education creates a wonderful environment to enhance the discipleship process.

Recently, through our partnership with a leading European university, it has become very affordable to offer accredited and professional online degrees. You can study online at your own pace, wherever you are, or you could come to Global Challenge in Jeffreys Bay and add the discipleship process to your studies.

But imagine the potential of seeing the world, together with a team, while you are studying? You can visit 40 or more countries in South America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East or Africa over the course of 3 years; and you can come through that experience together with a professional and internationally accredited degree!

What are you waiting for? Choose your online degree and start studying immediately, or choose your degree and the travel option to join the Travel Varsity team for next year.

IUBH Internationale Hochschule (IUBH International University of Applied Sciences) is a recognised institution in Germany and the national qualifications which it is authorised to offer there will be recognised by SAQA.

As SAQA does not pre-evaluate foreign qualifications, you will on completion of your degree need to follow the process of accreditation at the prescribed fee, currently R1,800.
