The JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mauritius (JSSAHERM) celebrated last month a significant milestone with its first-ever Convocation Ceremony at the MITD Lecture Theatre, in Phoenix. The event marked the culmination of years of hard work and academic achievements for the institution’s pioneering batch of students, signifying the end of one academic chapter and the exciting beginning of another.
The ceremony was graced by the presence of Mr Eddy Boissézon, Vice President of the Republic, who served as the Chief Guest. Other distinguished figures present at the event included Prof Praveen Mohadeb, the CEO and Vice Chancellor of JSSAHERM, along with members of the Board of Management, Academic Council, and various faculty heads and members.
The graduates, representing the faculties of Health Sciences, Life Sciences, and Management Studies, were conferred degrees in various programs. These included Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Masters of Business Administration (Hospital Administration), Masters of Science in Microbiology, Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Cosmetic Sciences, and Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Environmental Sciences. In total, 16 students received their degrees, with 14 earning distinction certificates and two receiving merit awards. Among the graduates, Haajra Bibi Umaira Oodally was honoured with the Academic Excellence Award for her outstanding academic performance throughout her studies.
In his address, Prof Mohadeb congratulated the graduates on their success and emphasized that the institution was proud to have equipped them with not only academic knowledge but also industry and practice-ready skills. He noted that the graduates were prepared to step into their respective professional fields with the right expertise and confidence.
JSSAHERM, established in 2018, is a relatively young but rapidly growing institution. It holds degree-awarding powers and is an approved and registered institution with the Higher Education Commission of Mauritius. The first batch of students was enrolled in 2020, and since then, the academy has expanded its offerings. Today, JSSAHERM offers a range of 15 academic programs, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degrees. All of its programs are accredited by the HEC, ensuring that they meet the highest academic standards.
Notably, JSSAHERM’s Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) and Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) of the United States, placing the institution’s curriculum on a par with international educational standards and reinforcing its commitment to global quality.
With a strong foundation and a focus on excellence, JSSAHERM is poised to continue its journey as a leading institution in higher education.
