The University aspires to be a world-class centre of learning and research that will produce well-rounded, entrepreneurial, and globally employable graduates.

The University has embarked on an ambitious transformation strategy built around the three core pillars of quality, internationalisation, and sustainability.

CCU aims to provide quality education of international standards comparable to what is obtainable in top universities across the world, at a significantly lower cost than what it costs to study abroad. Our students are taught by industry experts and top-notch academics with significant international experience who discover, produce, and disseminate new knowledge, and collaborate with other experts locally and around the world, on a wide variety of projects. Most importantly, they bring their finely-honed expertise into the classroom, where they share with students their knowledge and passions for their fields.

The University prides itself on offering an excellent learning experience for students, informed by up-to-date research, and facilitated by a high-quality learning environment, with multi-media classrooms, ultra-modern laboratories, and modern library. Our classes are delivered in small groups with maximized interaction and engagement. Our small class sizes provide students with easy access to academic staff and wonderful opportunities to participate in hands-on projects. We create a suitable environment for our students to expand their horizons, equip them with the tools to deal with complexity and the knowledge to ask the right questions.

The University offers industry-focussed and globally-oriented Bachelor’s Degrees in Accounting; Business Administration; Biochemistry; Computer Science; Criminology and Security Studies; Economics; English and Literary Studies; History and Diplomatic Studies; International Relations; Marketing; Mass Communication; Microbiology; Political Science; Psychology; Public Administration; Religious Studies; Sociology and Taxation.

All academic programmes are quality assured in Nigeria and by overseas external examiners. We have several partnership agreements with educational and other organisations in Nigeria and abroad. These agreements allow us to offer a wider range of courses to students and give them access to specialist facilities and lecturers. Our students also could benefit from enriching study-abroad programme with our partner institutions in Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States, amongst others.
