Our mission is clear: to build the most effective and future-forward learning environment for the next generation of global talent. This week, we're excited to introduce a suite of updates designed to take that mission to the next level—with smarter tools, a faster platform, and new opportunities for upward mobility across borders.
A Fully Rebuilt Univad Website – Smarter, Faster, Cleaner
We’ve rebuilt our platform from the ground up with the learner in mind. The new Univad website isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a complete redesign of how we deliver online learning.
What’s new:
2x faster page loads across all regions
New intuitive dashboard for students and instructors
Mobile-first design with complete device compatibility
Enhanced accessibility features (for screen readers, keyboard navigation, etc.)
Dynamic course search and recommendation engine
With over 60% of learners accessing content on mobile or low-bandwidth devices (UNESCO, 2024), performance and simplicity are essential. Our new platform ensures Univad stays accessible and competitive—especially for learners in Africa, Southeast Asia, and remote parts of Europe and South America.
Introducing the All-New Univad Mobile App
Learning on the go just got better. The new Univad Mobile App delivers a seamless education experience packed with the most-requested student features.
Top Features:
Stream or download lectures on-demand
Track course progress, milestones, and certifications
Built-in OrixAI assistant for smart help
Get assignment support, resume reviews & career advice instantly
Chat with mentors, instructors & peers in real-time
Receive personalized course recommendations
You’re working full-time but also learning. With the mobile app, you can watch a 10-minute lecture while commuting, chat with your instructor at lunch, or submit your weekly task while waiting in line. It adapts to your life, not the other way around.
Built-In OrixAI Support – The Smartest Student Assistant
Our proprietary AI assistant, OrixAI, is now more deeply embedded into the Univad learning experience—especially on mobile and in course groups.
What OrixAI can do for you:
Answer questions about your course material
Help structure assignments or solve academic problems
Review your resume and suggest improvements
Recommend courses based on your skill gaps
Guide you with career path planning and skill validation
In 2025, over 70% of learners say they need real-time support to stay consistent in online courses. With OrixAI, Univad learners don’t just consume content—they get mentorship, academic clarity, and career navigation in one place.
Rolling Out to Diploma Students First
These new tools and features will launch this weekend exclusively for Diploma students, as part of our phased upgrade rollout. Short Course learners will follow soon after.
These learners are enrolled in longer, more intensive programmes—many of which are tied to certification or global pathway opportunities. Our aim is to ensure they receive the full benefit of the new learning experience as early as possible.
New University Pathways: Weldios University Partnership
We’re proud to announce a new academic partnership with Weldios University, offering a direct entry pathway for Univad Diploma graduates.
What this means:
Earn advanced placement in Weldios undergraduate programs
Faster entry into international academic systems
Reduced cost of university education via credit transfers
Broader recognition of Univad Diplomas as valid stepping stones
Over 40% of Univad students report aspirations to continue their education abroad or with advanced certifications. This partnership ensures our graduates aren't just skilled—they’re recognized and connected.
Building What Next-Gen Education Should Look Like
At Univad, we don’t believe in just keeping up—we believe in setting the pace. These new updates are a reflection of the future we’re building:
Our vision includes:
Frictionless access to quality education across any device
Deep AI integration to reduce dropouts and improve learner support
Expanding partnerships that unlock real-world opportunities
Building a student community that’s vibrant, global, and collaborative
Online education retention improves by 32% when learners have access to smart guidance and peer interaction. Univad now combines both at the system level—creating a complete loop of support, learning, and opportunity.
What Comes Next?
This is only the beginning. In the coming weeks, we’ll be launching:
A referral-based student rewards program
Creator tools for instructors, allowing anyone to teach on Univad
Additional university and corporate partnerships
A real-time leaderboard for top-performing students
Expanded OrixAI career services, including internship matching
Univad is not just growing—we’re redefining how global education should work.
Whether you're taking your first course or planning a full career transition, we're building the tools to help you thrive—anywhere in the world.
