Overview
The University of Seychelles, known as UniSee, was established in September 2009 as the country’s first public university and continues to support higher education across Mahé through its Anse Royale, Mont Fleuri, and Ma Joie campuses. UniSee offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs shaped around national development, sustainability, Creole culture, and applied technology. The university supports both local and international students and aims to serve as a regional knowledge hub in the Indian Ocean.
UniSee also develops research and professional learning through specialized centers, including the Blue Economy Research Institute and the Creole Language and Culture Institute. It works with international partners, engages in Commonwealth and Pan‑African initiatives, and focuses on practical training aligned with Seychelles’ economic and environmental priorities. If you’re comparing similar programs across the region, you may also find it useful to review the University of the Comoros and Université de Mahajanga, which are also public institutions supporting regional higher education in the Indian Ocean and surrounding areas.

UniSee does not directly offer residential halls. Students can find private rentals nearby or seek assistance through the university’s student services, which provide guidance and referrals. When applying from abroad, it’s wise to start looking early and confirm the timeframe for move-in, as availability can change by semester.
