Postgraduate applicants in Mauritius usually need a recognised bachelor's degree, a relevant academic background, transcripts, and English proficiency where required. Many programmes also ask for a Statement of Purpose and recommendation letters, and some professional courses may want work experience. Exact rules vary by university and programme.

My Advice

Pick two or three programmes first, then read each one's entry page for its exact grade and English score. Start your SOP and recommendation requests early, because good letters take time and are easy to rush.
