Cooperation with countries of Sub-Saharan Africa in the
field of higher education and scientific research benefits
from an elaborate legal framework, several joint
programmes and unilateral offers of support. Indeed, 37
cooperation agreements were concluded with sub
Saharan African countries. A new generation of
agreements with these countries is based on a Tunisian
diversified offer of services in the field of higher
education, as well as on a growing demand from African
partners on university studies in Tunisia.
In 2021, 9000 international students, who are mainly
nationals of African countries, carried on their higher
education studies in Tunisian public or private
universities.
