Red & Yellow Creative School of Business

The Red & Yellow Creative School of Business is a leading private higher education institution headquartered in Cape Town, specialising in the intersection of creativity and commerce – marketing, advertising, design, copywriting, digital business and creative leadership. Founded in 1994 (originally as the “Red & Yellow School of Logic and Magic”), it has spent three decades building a reputation as one of Africa’s foremost creative business schools, summed up in its philosophy of pairing “commercial logic” with “creative magic.” In 2020 it joined Honoris United Universities, a pan-African network of higher education institutions.

Red & Yellow is registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training as a private higher education provider, with qualifications accredited by the Council on Higher Education and registered on the National Qualifications Framework, and it also works with relevant SETAs. Its portfolio spans bachelor’s degrees, advanced diplomas, higher certificates, part-time programmes and a wide range of online short courses, delivered both face-to-face at its Cape Town campus and online to students across the world. It also designs custom corporate and learnership programmes for employers.

The school is closely woven into the creative industries: it is an official education partner of the Loeries, and its students consistently win local and international creative awards, including at the Loeries, Pendorings, D&AD, Clio and One Club competitions. Red & Yellow is also the publisher of “eMarketing: The Essential Guide to Marketing in a Digital World,” one of the most downloaded textbooks in its field. Full programme, fee and admissions details are available directly from the institution.
