Positioning itself at the crossroads between Africa and Asia, Mauritius
is also looking north – especially to France and Britain, where it has
strong historical ties. Africa's most developed country is striving to
become the continent's leading higher education hub.
There are at least 30 international institutions and groups involved in
one way or another in tertiary education in Mauritius and the government
has set attracting more international students – currently there are
1,000 – as a national objective.
The tropical Indian Ocean island's higher education ambitions were
outlined at the Mauritius International Knowledge Investment Forum 2014,
held at the Waldorf Hilton in London last month. It was the third such
forum and the first to be held outside Mauritius.

CAREERS IN AGRICULTURE AND FOOD

Today the 24th March 2014, the Faculty of Agriculture turns
100. It was a School of Agriculture from 1914 to 1925 of the Department of Agriculture of the colonial Governement, then as a College of Agriculture from 1925 to 1968. When it joined the University of Mauritius, its appellation was changed to School of Agriculture, until 1993 when it was renamed Faculty of Agriculture.
In the 100 years since it was established, we are proud to have delivered teaching and research to a wide range of people of our Republic, including Rodrigues and to some countries in the region.
