In a country where access to higher education often means moving cities, incurring high costs, or giving up your job, Boston City Campus is flipping the script. With their distance learning model and strong local support network, Boston is proving that a quality education doesn’t have to come at the cost of your current lifestyle.

Amanda Azor from the Boston City Campus Marketing Department joins Yolanda Maartens to talk about their support centres and how their strategic locations provide access to locally and internationally recognized qualifications:

“Start where you are, with what you have.”

This simple phrase is at the heart of Boston’s approach. Whether you're a recent matriculant, a working professional, or someone ready for a career pivot, Boston’s flexible learning system adapts to your life — not the other way around.

No Need to Relocate

Traditionally, students in Central South Africa — in towns like Bloemfontein, Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp, Welkom, Kimberley and beyond — have felt they need to relocate to major cities to access credible qualifications. Boston’s response? You don’t need to go anywhere. With Support Centres across the region, students can get access to structured academic guidance, qualified staff, and 24/7 access to Boston’s national academic system.

“Boston gives you access to locally and internationally recognised qualifications, but without the relocation costs or big-city stress,” says a Boston spokesperson. “You can study from home, but never feel alone.”

Flexible Payment Options

Affordability remains one of the biggest concerns for South African families. Boston has removed yet another barrier by offering monthly payment plans — allowing students to register without needing the full tuition amount upfront.

“It’s about opening doors, not closing them,” they add. “We work with each student to make education more accessible, without compromising on quality.”

It’s Not Too Late to start in 2025

Think you’ve missed your chance this year? Think again. Boston has extended Semester B registration until 15 August — giving students one last chance to start studying in 2025 without delay.

“Some students are still deciding, some have faced delays. That’s okay. We’ve kept the door open — so you don’t have to wait until next year to take your first step,” says Boston.
