Foreign students, 2025/26

None recorded

All figures are for the 2025/26 academic year, from the ministry's Recensement académique, mai 2026 (the yearbook is dated August 2026). “Professional” is what the yearbook calls enseignement supérieur professionnel — career-oriented programmes; “academic” is enseignement académique, the Baccalauréat (3 years) – Master (2) – Doctorat (3) system. The split is as each institution reported it.

Programmes and students, 2025/26

2 programme listings, as ISCAM reported them to the ministry.

Programme (as reported)StudentsWomen
Sciences de l’Ingénieurs1606.9%
Sciences Economiques et Administratives & Gestion468.7%

Programmes (filières) are listed as each institution reported them to the ministry, in French or English, with marks such as “(Bac)”, “(Inst)” or “(Master)” as printed. Campuses are not shown, so a programme taught at several campuses appears once for each. The Université du Burundi and the École Normale Supérieure report by faculty, institute or department. Where a programme's printed women and men don't add up to its printed total (one row), the total is shown and the share of women is left blank.

Foreign students, 2025/26: none recorded

Foreign students are counted by nationality as each institution or campus reported it. The yearbook's national total is 11,852; its campus rows add up to 11,854. An institution with no row in that table has no foreign students recorded. Nationalities other than Congolese, Rwandan, Tanzanian and Kenyan are grouped as “other”.

Earlier years are from the yearbook's historical table, whose institution rows add up to its own national totals in every year. Those totals differ from the yearbook's summary table for earlier years (2021/22: 66,338 against 65,326; 2022/23: 66,868 against 67,373; 2023/24: 65,861 against 66,150; 2024/25: 73,247 against 73,343). A dash means the table gives no figure for that year.

What it costs, and how to get in

Tuition fees are not in the ministry's yearbook and are not published as open data, for public or private institutions. Ask each institution for its current fees, including any rate for students from abroad.

Entry to higher education requires the Diplôme d'État (the national secondary-school examination); applicants educated abroad need a qualification recognised as equivalent.

The seat (province and commune) and the year of authorisation are from the list of institutions in the ministry's 2022/23 yearbook — the 2025/26 yearbook has no such list — so institutions not on it show none. “Bujumbura Mairie” is the city of Bujumbura. Campuses may be elsewhere.
