Welcome Message
TEK-UP University is the corporate name of the Private Higher School of
Technologies and Engineering approved by the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education
and Scientific Research (MESRS) in September 2014 (approval No.2014-05).
The creation of TEK-UP University was a vision in order to participate in the reforms of higher education in general and in engineering training specifically.
Vision, Mission, and Core Values
- A vision of a new institution driven by public interest—despite its private status—designed to address a missing profile in the national educational landscape: operational engineers who meet industry-driven competency requirements while ensuring both economic sustainability and social inclusion.
- A set of interdependent missions covering initial training, continuing education, and research & development, optimized to ensure excellence while making rational use of resources.
- A commitment to international standards, aligned with the quality benchmarks defined by global accreditation bodies.
- A strategic approach focused on complementing, rather than duplicating, the public educational offer; strengthening partnerships with the industrial sector; and integrating international cooperation networks that promote student and staff mobility, and allow the establishment of joint programs, with or without dual degrees.
Authorized Engineering Degrees
- National Engineering Diploma in Computer Science
- National Engineering Diploma in Telecommunication
Academic Structure
- Integrated Preparatory Cycle (IPC) for engineers – 2 years (for high school graduates)
- Engineering Cycle in Computer Science – 3 years (for bachelor’s graduates or students coming from a preparatory cycle)
Candidates holding a Master’s degree (M1) or students who have successfully completed the first year of engineering may directly join the second year of the engineering cycle.
Engineering Specializations
- Software and Information System Engineering (GLSI)
- Mobile Development, Web and Multimedia (DMWM)
- Security of Computer Systems and Networks (SSIR)
- Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (SDIA)
- Embedded Systems & IoT
Learning Tracks
- Mandatory Track: academic courses, practical sessions, projects, and tutorials required in any engineering education.
- Optional Professional Track: industry-focused training delivered in partnership with major international technology companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, etc.), providing students with practical skills and exposure to real-world challenges.
