It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Mauritius. It is indeed a pleasant coincidence that the Faculty was established in the same year of independence of the country in 1968. The Faculty has, over the last five decades, played a vital role in capacity building and addressing research needs in engineering for a secure and sustainable future.

The mission of the Faculty is to provide quality education in line with international norms and standards at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, to develop excellence in research, to foster industry/faculty partnerships and to contribute to the development and application of technology for the advancement and welfare of the community at large. We are committed to an inclusive model of knowledge creation and dissemination where research and scholarship are highly valued. In addition, the Faculty has a proven track record of engagement with industry and governmental institutions in an advisory capacity and through research and consultancy projects.

The Faculty of Engineering occupies the largest share of the market for engineering education in Mauritius. The Faculty has so far produced some 55 PhD holders, 3255 engineers and 1225 of graduates of technician grade. Currently, the Faculty offers a wide range of four year BEng (Hons) programmes which are recognized by the Council of Registered Professional Engineering (CRPE) for entry into the practice of engineering. All the programmes have been designed with a blend of theory, practice, research and industry-based projects. The four-year programmes allow our students to develop all the competences expected of an engineer at the entry point of their career. We equally offer three-year BSc and MSc programmes in niche areas.

The year 2016 marked a new milestone for the Faculty when it decided to offer its four year engineering programmes aligned to the competency requirements and standards prescribed by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) which is itself a member of the Washington Accord. The Accord with currently 21 countries as signatory members, falls under the aegis of the International Engineering Alliance which provides a benchmark for international recognition of engineering qualifications. The Faculty has achieved regular accreditation status with ECSA for FIVE of its programmes; the remaining being in the process of being accredited. With accredited programmes, the UoM is now a globally recognized provider of engineering education.

Accreditation involves inter alia processes, procedures, appropriate infrastructure, administrative/financial support, competent academic and technical staff, and most importantly ensuring that the graduates meet prescribed competency standards. We are blessed to have it all, as team, in the Faculty. We take pride in our Staff and Students and welcome you to visit us.

Welcome to the Faculty of Law & Management

On Behalf the Faculty of Law and Management Community, I welcome you to our Faculty!

The Faculty of Law and Management (FLM) is the largest faculty of the University of Mauritius, despite remaining a relatively young faculty, yet with a great potential. It aspires to consolidate and improve its status in the country and also to be recognized as one of the leading faculty in the region. FLM offers a relatively large number of undergraduate and postgraduates programmes as well as doctoral programmes in the broad area of Finance, Accounting, Business and Law. The Faculty hosts three departments namely the Department of Finance and Accounting, Department of Management and Department of Law, with highly committed and qualified academic staff who are engaged in teaching and learning, research as well as outreach and consultancy activities. It is interesting to note that a few of our undergraduate programmes are already accredited with reputed bodies such as ACCA and CIMA, ICAEW among others and the faculty is exploring the possibility of accrediting other programmes.

To enrich learning and to connect our students with the industry, the Faculty often calls on industry professionals to teach on its various programmes and has also introduced professional workshops in most of its programmes. FLM remains one of the most important providers and feeder of graduates to the industry and has a close collaboration with a number of well established companies in Mauritius. Students are also required to undergo practical training as part of the programme curriculum, often supported by the University Industry Liaison Office (UILO). The Faculty is committed to quality assurance, for instance through the recruitment of high calibre external examiners from reputed Universities for all our programmes and also through accreditation of our courses.

FLM is actively engaged in research in various fields, with many of its academic staff publishing their research in reputed international academic journals (and books), supervising doctoral students and securing external research grants from donors. It also remains a regular feature of the Faculty to organize high profile international research conferences and workshops, attracting high calibre international researchers and speakers. We have a number of collaborative Universities with which we have close ties, for instance with Stellenbosch University, Hamburg University of Technology, University of Paris Nanterre, IIT Madras among others. The Faculty also hosts the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Chair Programme, being a founding member of such a programme. Our academic staff are also regularly called upon to engage in professional consultancies, both at national and international level.

The Faculty is also committed to reach out to its stakeholders and the society in general and usually organizes research dissemination and capacity building activities. This is in addition to various social events which are organized by our students in collaboration with FLM staff. Our numerous dynamic student’s clubs (The Accounting Finance Society, the Law Society, The Management Society, the HR Management society, Women society among others), working closely with faculty members, also contributes in FLM’s outreach activities while providing extra curriculum and networking opportunities for its members. Such experiences provide valuable opportunities to develop leadership and other key skills, build lasting friendships thus enhancing student experience.
