Honoris students benefit from over 190 exclusive partnerships with leading institutions across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the USA. An example of how Honoris students benefited from exclusive Honoris partnerships is through the agreement with The Council and Foundation for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
Honoris and Lindau Nobel Laureat Meetings signed a Memorandum of Understanding to increase participation and to promote research in Natural Sciences and Economics across Africa. The meetings, held in Germany, offer delegates exposure to more than 50 of the most brilliant minds on the planet, all Nobel Laureates, as well as hundreds of other outstanding young scientists from 89 countries.
LINDAU NOBEL LAUREATE MEETING
Every year, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings connect Nobel Laureates with the next generation of leading scientists: 600 undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers from all over the world. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings are about exchanging inspiration and ideas, providing an important platform for youth and innovation, bringing together successful innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs... >>read more
AZZA JOMLI
Azza Jomli, a second year Petrochemical Engineering student from UNIVERSITÉ CENTRALE École Polytechnique in Tunisia, who was also selected to participate in the 2020 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, shares her excitement from this experience: “The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings give me enormous hope because they prove that science connects us beyond borders and language. As a female scientist, I am also excited to meet other inspiring women to connect and share ideas with. We will be working with young scientists and experienced Nobel Laureates from around the world, with the opportunity to take steps towards actionable research which will one day change the world. This is what motivates me.”
Aarifah Razak
Aarifah Razak, an economics researcher at REGENT Business School, South Africa, is passionate about using her knowledge to uplift Africa. As one of the 8 Honoris students selected to participate in the 2020 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, she shares her views on this prestigious program:"The Lindau Nobel Program inspires innovation by providing a forum for scientists and economists to collaborate on key global issues. The program has confirmed my belief that being an economist means improving lives and welfare using all available tools. I would like to contribute new research to improve Africa’s socio-economic development, using ideas from my Sciathon team and the Lindau Online Science days."
Dr Khalid El Bairi
Dr Khalid El Bairi, a Moroccan researcher sponsored by Mundiapolis and one of the 5 Honoris students selected to participate in the 2021 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings shares the benefit of his experience:"I have been honored to speak with such inspiring Nobel laureates in physiology, medicine and chemistry. Being a young researcher with limited resources is challenging, but thanks to these debates, I am motivated and willing to explore further."
Asmaâ Fenniri
In many ways, opportunities such as the above students experienced have been the result of digitalization across the landscapes of business and education. Technology connects people across the globe and enables collaborations that allow all involved parties – individuals or industries -to flourish. Digital transformation, thus, is the key to the growth that Honoris is looking to promote across its network.
LEVERAGING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ACROSS THE NETWORK
The COVID-19 crisis has been a catalyst in speeding up digital transformation across the network and leveraging the move to remote work and learning, that is, driving a ‘digital mindset’. Honoris therefore set out to assess the potential for digitization by conducting a student survey across the network’s three core areas of operation, known as the ‘Moments of Truth’ (MOT):
The survey gathered over 10,000 responses from all 14 institutions in the Honoris network: 71% in Southern Africa and 29% in North and West Africa, made up of all demographics of learners, from distance to on-campus, undergraduates to post-graduate, and early to mature. The survey results are as follows:
MOT1: Student Acquisition
In MOT1: Student Acquisition, students showed a strong appetite for the digitization of the enrollment process such as virtual open days and online faculty interactions, and considered the institution’s website as the most important source of information (ranked above in-person visits and referrals).
In response to the survey findings, and to meet student needs, Honoris took immediate strategic action to build a competitive student acquisition engine.
Extent of recent digitalization and digitization
During 2021, digital new enrollment accounted for 61% of total new enrollment, with an evolution of +12%. Additional initiatives implemented in 2021, include:MOT2: Student Experience
The most interesting findings emerged from MOT2: Student Experience, where students were asked about their willingness to adopt online learning; digitization of academic interactions such as examinations and faculty interactions; digitization of admin services; and about the role of physical campuses and the perception of online learning in the new world of work.
In every market, alongside a high appetite and willingness to continue the adoption of online and digital modes of interaction and learning, students do still regard physical, in-person interactions as important. Of these, there is a clear call for 21st Century learning environments to support traditional learning, as students list co-working spaces, makerspaces and digital career centers as the most desired spaces in the role of physical campuses. Peer-to-peer interactions and physical workshops score higher than the desire for in-person lectures.
To meet these needs, Honoris places emphasis on academic innovation, combining the delivery of courses both online and in-person with state-of-the-art learning centers, which provides students with access to advanced learning technologies to improve their learning outcomes and student experience.
Honoris is seeing strong organic growth within its network. This is exciting as it promises a pipeline of new opportunities that aim to connect students, businesses, and professional bodies across the Honoris network in the near future. Furthermore, Honoris aims to provide education in an innovative way by digitalizing various aspects of its education system in order to prepare their graduates to step into their chosen careers readily, and equipped with all the 21st Century workplace skills that industry needs. This also gears Honoris to expand their geographical footprint, tapping into favourable demographics along the way.
This is Education for Impact in action.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Jose Peran, Honoris Chief Business Development Officer
“Our growth strategies aim to ultimately add value to our students, enabling them access to a much greater academic portfolio as we build on acquiring additional institutions, thereby expanding our academic offering. Most importantly is to maintain the high standard of quality education across the Honoris network, therefore our partnerships and acquisitions are carefully selected to maintain our standard of high quality which leads to our students’ success”.
