LaTFURE aims to provide the systemic and institutional conditions for the establishment of dual studies as an integral part of South Africa and Mozambique's higher education systems, which will serve to strengthen relations between the higher education systems and their wider economic and social environment.

By combining academic learning at HEIs with professional/practical learning that takes place in a working environment, dual studies provides a model that strengthens the practical orientation of higher education, boosts cooperation between HEIs and their wider environment, produces human capital and skills for the economy and society, fosters research cooperation.

By connecting education and industry, students will have the possibility to work and study concurrently, allowing them to (partially) fund their education.  The introduction of dual studies would thus provide a sustainable form of university funding, whilst tackling inequalities in terms of access.

The choice of tourism and extractive industries for the pilot dual study programmes aims to meet specific and identified skills gaps for the countries'  development and prosperity.

The project aims to define legislative and policy frameworks at the system level, develop strategic, governance and operational policies, structures and mechanisms at the institutional level, and establish working prototypes of dual study programmes that can be used as learning models across the system. 

As a first step, at least two dual study programmes in South Africa and at least two in Mozambique will be established in the fields of extractive industries and tourism that demonstrate proof-of-concept and provide working prototypes for systemic expansion.
