What if I told you about a university that stretches across an island, bridging cities and even reaching across the ocean? Right here in Antananarivo stands the headquarters of UPRIM, the Université Privée de Madagascar. Founded in 2007 by RAKOTOVAOARISON Justin, affectionately known as Dame de Cœur, UPRIM has quickly become a prominent institution in Madagascar’s higher education landscape. UPRIM’s influence extends beyond Antananarivo to four annex sites. From Majunga to Tamatave, Antsirabe to the Comoros Islands, UPRIM’s reach spans the island and the Indian Ocean. This allows diverse students access to quality education. UPRIM focuses on more than just academics. The university fosters personal development alongside its strong programs in management sciences, social sciences, and humanities. UPRIM cultivates creativity, dynamism, resourcefulness, and open-mindedness in its students, preparing them for a rapidly changing world. UPRIM offers diverse academic paths, from humanities to social sciences, and specializations in Management, Commerce and Marketing, Law, Communication, and Paramedics. They even offer programs in midwifery and general nursing, demonstrating their commitment to serving various fields. Importantly, UPRIM’s degrees hold weight. They are recognized by the Malagasy State and its Ministry of Public Service. Students graduate after their second year with a DTS (Diplôme de Technicien Supérieur). UPRIM also offers Licence and Master’s degrees for those seeking deeper knowledge and specialization. Recognizing students’ diverse needs, UPRIM provides both distance and in-person learning options. This flexibility allows students to tailor their education to their personal and professional circumstances. UPRIM champions accessibility. All baccalaureate streams are welcome to apply, furthering their mission of inclusive education. For Master’s programs, a prior degree is required: a Licence for Master 1 and a Master 1 for Master 2. UPRIM operates on a powerful motto: “Maximum study quality, minimum study costs”. This commitment aims to provide quality education while remaining mindful of the financial realities of many Malagasy students. Looking towards the future, UPRIM envisions itself as Madagascar’s largest university, facilitating student mobility across the nation. With strong partnerships with Baobab Banque, MVola-Telma, Société Générale Madagascar, and BNI Madagascar, UPRIM cultivates a thriving learning environment. UPRIM offers quality education, diverse programs, and a wealth of opportunities.
