“Through its innovative approach, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology is transforming the landscape of education in this country and indeed the life of Basotho young and old. We are very much inspired by the vision and the mission of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology namely, to bring out the creative edge and embrace the new technology and the new knowledge to create new enterprises and new industries.”
H.E. The Right Honourable Pakalitha Bethuel Mosisili
Former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lesotho
The Kingdom of Lesotho has set a goal of becoming a unified and prosperous, stable democracy under its Vision 2020 national blueprint.
It previously had only two institutions of higher learning, but they were beyond the reach of many young people in the country.
This all changed in August 2008 when Limkokwing University Lesotho opened its doors in Maseru, with a pioneer batch of 1,200 students enrolled in 54 programmes like design, IT and architecture.
Some nine years later, almost 800 graduates were celebrated in a special ceremony, themed The Future is now in Your Hands.
“The feedback I received from industry professionals demonstrate that Limkokwing graduates are industry-ready upon completion of their studies, and already many Limkokwing graduates are assuming leadership roles within their respective industries,” said Deputy Prime Minister, Honourable Monyane Meleleki.
The sentiment was echoed by the Minister of Education and Training.
“Limkokwing University has changed tertiary education in this country not only irreversibly but also immeasurably for the better, in line with the 21st century thinking and problem-solving,” said Honourable Mokhele Moletsasne.
