UNICAF offers you the option to study for an internationally recognised degree online, at your own time and pace, while staying at home with your family, and keeping your job and the income you earn. In other words, with UNICAF you can have it all: international studies, job, family and friends! Yet, sometimes, having it all can be tiring.

UNICAF partners with UK, US and European universities to offer online quality higher education degrees to students in Africa. Current partners include the University of South Wales (UK), the Marymount California University (USA), Unicaf University (Africa) and the University of Nicosia (Europe).

At the start of every New Year we make resolutions, which we usually forget about by the end of January: to eat sensibly, to exercise regularly, to save money to travel the world, etc. Yet, this is the best time to take a single decision, which can change your whole life: to study for an internationally recognised degree, that’s affordable and available at your own pace and time!

With this calendar year drawing to a close, it’s time to reflect on the past twelve months and re-evaluate where you want to be in the future. This is a time of reflection on past achievements, disappointments, successes and failures and also a time to plan ahead for the New Year.

It forms part of the Edex Educational Excellence Corporation, which runs the University of Nicosia, the largest on Cyprus.

The significant technological advances in sub-Saharan Africa enabled UNICAF and Unicaf University to enhance its online offering and to increase access to quality higher education. Unicaf University received approval by the Malawi government and has established a new campus in the capital of Malawi, Lilongwe. The campus builds on the success of the UNICAF scholarship scheme and the UNICAF online delivery platform whereby courses of study are available through mobile technologies such as tablets, smart phones and laptops. The platform brings programmes of European, British and US Universities for which UNICAF is the online delivery provider to a global audience…
