UNICAF University: All you need to know

About UNICAF, Courses Offered, Admission Requirements, Scholarships and Fees

Overview

Unicaf is the leading online and on-campus learning platform offering affordable, quality higher education to underserved markets.

About UNICAF

Unicaf partners with UKUS, European and African universities to offer online and blended, quality higher education degree programmes to students in Africa and the world. Current partners include the Liverpool John Moores University (UK), University of Suffolk (UK), the University of California Riverside Extension (USA) and Unicaf University (Africa).

Unicaf operates campuses and learning centres throughout Africa, and has a physical presence in 12 African countries with plans to expand to additional countries in the near future.

Developing economies are not able to cope with increasing numbers of tertiary student enrolments and high costs of building brick and mortar institutions. Online and on-campus learning is the best possible solution to ensure that access to quality higher education is not limited by geographical location, tuition fees, or lack of access to academic resources.

With recent technological advances, online and on-campus education can be every bit as effective as traditional classroom teaching. Unicaf’s state-of-the-art platform and its expertise in the offering of quality education via flexible delivery models offers an exceptional student experience to students.
