South Africa's premier private higher education institution, Boston City Campus, provides all higher education students with unlimited access to library of over 1 million digital textbooks.
Boston City Campus and Perlego, the leading international digital learning platform, today announced a landmark partnership that will provide every Boston City Campus Higher Education student with unlimited access to Perlego’s extensive catalogue of thousands of academic, professional and self-development textbooks, starting February 23rd, 2026.
Transformation of Digital Library Offering
This partnership represents a significant leap forward in how Boston students engage with their digital library, providing instant, on-demand access to over 1 million academic and personal development digital textbooks from any device, at any time. Perlego’s built-in study tools - including highlighting, note-taking, and offline reading - further support students in developing effective, independent learning habits.
"By partnering with Perlego, we're ensuring that no Boston Higher Education student is ever held back by a lack of access to the extra materials they need to succeed and grow”, said Matthew de Roos Head: Strategic Planning at Boston City Campus.
Supporting Student Success
"We're thrilled to partner with Boston City Campus on this transformative initiative," said Luigi Lavizzari from Perlego. "This partnership demonstrates how digital learning platforms can level the playing field, providing students from anywhere in South Africa with access to comprehensive, high-quality academic resources. Boston City Campus's investment shows true leadership in embracing digital transformation for student success."
Looking Ahead
Both organisations view this partnership as the foundation for continued innovation. The February 23rd launch date marks the beginning of a multi-year partnership, with both organisations committed to continuously enhancing the student experience.
