The French University of Technology model is being replicated in Angola

Stronger Together! The UTBM and Agostinho Neto University, located in Luanda, the country’s capital, have a long history of numerous collaborations.

We have doctoral students working on their dissertations, research projects, and engineering students in training.

For two days, UTBM hosted a delegation from the Ministry of Higher Education of the Republic of Angola led by Mr. Jone Heitor DA PAIXAO SEBASTIAO, Advisor to the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, accompanied by Mr. António JOB MONTEIRO JAMA, Director of Science, Research, and Innovation at Agostinho Neto University.

 

The goal of this visit is to maximize the relevance of the French University of Technology model:

shift to a semester system, personalized curricula, the importance of humanities courses, alignment between research and education, and closer ties with businesses.

 
The country is strongly committed to strengthening its ties with French-speaking nations. Agostinho Neto University is a member of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie.
Finally, this visit is also an opportunity to talk about Crunch Time in Angola… but we’ll get back to that very soon…
