Bilingual Software Engineering BSc: UCAD and AFU Empower 10,000 African Cloud and Full-Stack Developers

To power the digital transformation of African banking, agriculture, and government, the continent requires hundreds of thousands of highly capable software engineers. African Future University and Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD) have launched the dual BSc in Software Engineering & Digital Systems.

The curriculum covers microservices architecture, mobile application development (React Native / Flutter), secure backend APIs (Node.js / Python / Go), cloud database management, and automated CI/CD pipelines.

"Tech hubs in Lagos, Nairobi, Dakar, and Kigali are desperate for software engineers who possess both theoretical depth and production code discipline," said the Chief Technology Officer of AFU. "Our dual BSc with UCAD gives every passionate student a rigorous, bilingual engineering education with zero upfront debt."

Students graduate with two official Bachelor of Science diplomas and a verified portfolio of cloud applications deployed to production.
