ESEG - Escola Superior De Economia e Gestão

What ESEG - Escola Superior De Economia e Gestão does

ESEG (Escola Superior de Economia e Gestão) is a private higher education institution headquartered in Maputo, Mozambique, established in 2005 by Decree No. 34/2005 of the Republic of Mozambique. It operates three physical campuses across the country — Maputo (headquarters), Chimoio (Manica province), and Pemba (Cabo Delgado province) — and is governed under private law with scientific, pedagogical, and administrative autonomy. The institution offers six accredited undergraduate degree programmes (Licenciatura) in Law, Public Administration, Business Administration and Management, Accounting and Auditing, Economics, and Human Resource Management, alongside a portfolio of roughly ten short-duration professional courses covering procurement and contract management, project management with MS Project, Primavera ERP accounting, corporate governance, occupational health and safety, labor law, advanced Excel, research methodology with SPSS, and Windows 10 literacy. Educational delivery combines in-person instruction with a Moodle-based virtual classroom platform (aulas.eseg.ac.mz) and a virtual library aggregating open-access content from UNESCO, the World Bank Open Knowledge Repository, Project Gutenberg, and Open Library.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring monthly tuition denominated in Mozambican Meticals (MT), with fees stratified by study period (labour/post-labour vs. afternoon) and by campus — Maputo labour period 4,000-5,000 MT/month, Maputo afternoon 2,800 MT/month, Chimoio 3,500-4,030 MT/month, and Pemba 3,950-4,450 MT/month. Short courses are also offered to the general public and to corporate buyers, and the institution relies on in-person enrolment, an online pre-registration portal, and participation in forums such as FIPES (Cabo Delgado) and direct student engagement events like 'Dondza-ESEG' for distribution. The operating model is structurally simple: monthly subscription tuition from a B2C student base, augmented by short-course paid certifications, with marketing concentrated on the institutional website, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The institution has no publicly disclosed external equity funding, no parent company, and approximately 25 employees.

Since 2020 ESEG has executed a coordinated institutional development programme: the Director General was replaced in October 2020 (Prof. Artur Neves Saúde Júnior succeeded Dr. Hipólito Hamela) and again in September 2024 (Prof. Jochua Abrão Baloi); a 2021-2026 Strategic Plan was approved; the semi-annual Scientific Journal 'Diogo Guilande' was launched; quality assurance was restructured into the Internal Quality Assessment Commission (CIAQ); Memoranda of Understanding were signed with ISCAM (academic exchange) and with the South Korea-based International Youth Fellowship (mind/emotional education); and an Organizational Division of Legal Sciences and a Division of Business were created to formalize the academic structure.
