Achieving Vision 2020

Among key strategies of Lesotho’s Vision 2020 includes the need to build the nation’s capacity for innovation and competitive participation in the globalised world economy. It is, therefore, imperative that the nation builds its human capital in a manner that will enable the nation to venture successfully into the production of goods and services. And at the same time address poverty issues by empowering its next generation to take advantage of opportunities now arising globally in the area of new technologies and creative content creation. The Limkokwing University is a global institution of higher education that is changing the way people are educated worldwide. We feel very strongly that every country is different with dissimilar priorities. Therefore education must play its part to ensure that the next generation of a country receives learning that will prepare them adequately to participate in building the economies of their countries. The world is using technology not only to interact but also to generate wealth. Technology must now become a vital part of every young person’s education in Lesotho.

The Limkokwing University in Maseru will be a campus where every Basotho will be able to acquire industry relevant skills in addition to a learning that emphasizes creativity, talent development and leadership qualities. We nurture our graduates to become responsible adults who will contribute to the well-being of an industry by using creative thinking to solve problems and provide fresh new perspectives to build the business.

Building Basotho skills to expand Lesotho’s economy

We have a mission to transform Basotho into confident, skilled, techno-savvy individuals who can contribute to build Lesotho’s economy by expanding it with new industries. These will be industries that are increasingly being managed by young people with the digital skills to operate a global business from their laptops. Limkokwing has the flexibility to build entrepreneurial skills through an exciting, stimulating campus environment purposefully built to stimulate creativity and innovation.

A global advantage

Limkokwing University brings to Lesotho its unique brand of higher education, one that is able to bring out the best in its young generation. The university’s unconventional teaching methods will provide the right scope of skills and knowledge designed to nurture and develop inner talents, skills and capabilities of all Basotho that will, ultimately, place them in a better position, academically and career-wise.

Lesotho needs talented people to manage its development. Digital technology is becoming very important as Lesotho begins to connect actively with the global economy. The digital sector offers some of the best careers in the world today. So too in the world of multimedia communications, which provides unparalleled career opportunities in animated graphics, sound and video content production. There is also enormous potential in architecture. Modern architecture provides ambitious Basotho excellent opportunities to become landscape architects, consultants, project managers or other related careers. Tourism is yet another potential area of growth that can offer exciting career prospects.

The mission of Limkokwing University is to create a most unique environment that fulfils the creative needs of every Basotho who wishes to acquire 21st century skills to excel in a rapidly evolving global world. And we are creating and advanced learning hub in Maseru where Lesotho’s young citizens have the opportunity to achieve their career dreams.
