Abstract: In this study, the national education policies and the selected four universities policies were analysed to evaluate their intent to the alignment with the sustainability. An assessment tool based on the 17 SDGs and on Mozambique's commitment goals to the 2030 Agenda was developed as instrument of analysis. NVivo 12 software was used to codify the sustainability indicators in the assessment tool. The HE policies show week integration of SDGs in a top bottom perspective. There is a lack of harmony between national and institutional policies resulting in the disparity founded on the presence of SDGs. The absence of an updated national policy on HE, contributes to the weak approach of SDGs in the HE institutional policies demonstrated by the absence of presupposes for the integration, implementation and materialisation of the goals by universities. This paper shows the current state of integration of SDGs in Mozambique HE policies.
