History
Midrand Graduate Institute was first known as Midrand Campus, later known as Midrand University. Established in 1989, MGI soon attained acceptance as a private university-level, degree-conferring institution – one of the first of its kind in southern Africa. MGI formed a partnership with CTI Education Group in 2006, with the opportunity to offer MGI conferred degrees at various remote campuses nationwide. MGI currently offers qualifications at 11 campuses in South Africa. Pearson_Education acquired a 75% shareholding in MGI in 2011, which grew to 100% in 2013.
