Partners of renown
Mauritius’ educational landscape – and that of the Uniciti International Education Hub (UIEH) in particular – is now even richer than before! Two prestigious education providers have chosen the modern UIEH campus in Pierrefonds for their new premises: SUPINFO and the American Business School of Paris (ABSParis).
The world-class academic programmes of both institutions offer new possibilities to local and international students in search of a high-quality education.
SUPINFO: for IT specialists
Specialising in computer science and information technology, this acclaimed French institute offers cutting-edge training and interactive teaching methods that ensure graduates are perfectly primed for the demands of the job market. What’s the USP of their programmes? SUPINFO is committed to delivering professionalisation, favouring a practical approach underpinned by a sound grounding in theory.
SUPINFO offers a Master's degree in Information System Management at its new Mauritius campus, with two specialisation options: Cloud and Mobile Development or Systems, Network and Cybersecurity. Taught in English, the courses are delivered through a blended learning model (partially on campus and partially online).
A wide range of programmes is constantly updated, meaning SUPINFO students have the opportunity to discover new technologies at the same time as developing solid skills in today’s essential topics, such as Big Data, AI, cybersecurity, and the Cloud. SUPINFO students must also master the fundamentals of management, equipping graduates to become the industry leaders of the future!
Are you ready to take up the challenges of a digital world in continuous evolution, supported by experts in the field? Registration for SUPINFO Île Maurice is now open for courses starting in October 2024!
American Business School of Paris: a business school with an international point of view
An international business and management school, ABSParis offers a flexible, interactive teaching approach inspired by the American model. Here, the goal is to prepare every student to become a proactive business executive, ready to integrate and lead multicultural teams.
Renowned for its academic excellence, ABSParis offers three exciting courses on its Mauritius campus: Bachelor of Business Administration; Bachelor of Fashion and Luxury Retail Management; and a Master of Science in Digital Marketing. Taught entirely in English, these blended programmes (a mixture of face-to-face and online tuition) combine theory with practice, preparing students to integrate smoothly and effectively into the professional world.
The school offers privileged access to a global network of companies and alumni, as well as an exchange programme within a network of partner universities that spans 35 countries. Students can choose to spend a semester (or an entire academic year) abroad or at the ABS campus in Paris.
The cherry on the cake? A double degree, recognised in both France and the United States, awaits you at the end of your course! This unique double accreditation opens the doors to international career prospects and ensures that ABSParis students stand out on the job market.
Do you aim to work internationally in the business and management sectors? Applications are open now for the new academic year, starting in September 2024!
