Université Amadou Makhtar Mbow
From manual administration to intelligent steering: how UAM modernised its entire LMD system
Context & challenges
Université Amadou Makhtar Mbow (UAM) is one of Senegal’s most ambitious public universities. Facing rapid growth in student numbers and lecture halls holding several thousand students, it needed to:
• Centralise and automate the management of applications, for greater transparency.
• Harmonise academic and administrative management across every faculty.
• Apply the LMD system (Bachelor’s – Master’s – Doctorate) required by the ministry rigorously.
• Smooth the tracking of very large student cohorts while guaranteeing reliability and transparency.
Project objectives
- Modernise and unify academic and financial management.
- Digitise academic and administrative tracking for very large student numbers.
- Guarantee strict application of the LMD rules.
- Put in place a scalable system able to support the university’s expansion.
