01The challenge

Many Arab and African students outside Morocco want to join accredited university programmes without having to travel and relocate.

What was needed was a model that delivers the same programmes with the same academic quality, with flexible schedules and at a lower cost than studying abroad.

02The solution

A distance-learning platform that combines the academic accreditation of SUPEMIR University with the experience of IGate International, bringing the programmes to students in their own countries.

Studies are run through an integrated platform covering registration, lectures, attendance, exams, certificates, payments and reporting.

03My role

  • Partner and board member of the IGate International group of institutes.
  • Regional Director of the platform for Morocco and the Middle East.
  • Head of digital development, building SUPIGATE as a complete digital-education system.
  • Preparing memoranda of understanding and partnership plans with institutions in several countries.
