What is a Buddy Programme?

The Buddy Programme will help you, as an international student to establish contact with a “mentor” who will guide you in your initial steps in Mauritius.

After submitting your application, the Mauritius Higher Education Desk, in collaboration with the university in which you have enrolled in, will link you up with a mentor.
