ÿÈÕ´óÈü is the only university in Zambia, Malawi and Uganda to be accredited by the BAC, and one of the few BAC-accredited tertiary institutions in the entirety of Africa.

The British Accreditation Council (BAC) is the oldest national independent accrediting body for independent further and Higher Education providers. In order to meet BAC accreditation, ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia, Malawi and Uganda demonstrated specific high standards that were assessed and approved by the BAC Inspectorate. The BAC mark means that ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia, Malawi and Uganda have attained a British gold standard and the assurance of delivering a high-quality educational service to its students.

BAC is a globally respected organisation, recognised by the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and listed on the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR). The Council is also a full member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher education (INQAAHE).

With rigorous inspections by specialised BAC inspectors, ÿÈÕ´óÈü must meet the six standards that the BAC uses as the determining factor for eligibility for the Independent Higher Education Institution (IHEI) accreditation, which ÿÈÕ´óÈü has gained.

The six areas that the three ÿÈÕ´óÈü campuses get inspected for are:

  1. Ìý Governance, Strategy and Financial Management
  2. Ìý Academic Management and Administration
  3. Ìý Teaching, Learning and Assessment
  4. Ìý Student Recruitment, Support, Guidance and Progression
  5. Ìý Premises, Facilities and Learning Resources
  6. Ìý Quality Management, Assurance and Enhancement.

Achievement in all these areas is what has allowed ÿÈÕ´óÈü to be licensed with the BAC IHEI accreditation, and the inspection process is repeated every 4 years to ensure that the high standards are being maintained.

By maintaining these high educational standards, ÿÈÕ´óÈü proves that it is more than willing to deliver on its promise of high-quality education for a fraction of the cost, and attaining the BAC further displays ÿÈÕ´óÈü’s true dedication to its cause.Ìý

The BAC also proves that ÿÈÕ´óÈü is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the students are always receiving nothing but the best education the university can provide.

ÿÈÕ´óÈü proudly announces the appointment of Dr Christine Phiri Mushibwe as the new Vice Chancellor of ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia.

Dr Phiri Mushibwe has an excellent record in academic and institutional leadership, having served as Vice Chancellor in another academic institution before her move to ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia. She is an ardent Educationist, and an experienced HR professional and Consultant. Dr Phiri Mushibwe earned her doctorate from the University of Huddersfield, in the UK and has made an impact as a professional in higher education, winning the prestigious award of ‘Africa’s Most Influential Woman in Business and Government’ by CEO Global, (in the education category), as Regional winner and Country winner in 2017, and 2018/19.

Dr Phiri Mushibwe released the following statement about her appointment as Vice Chancellor of ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia:

‘It is an honour to be associated with ÿÈÕ´óÈü, especially as Vice Chancellor. I have a huge challenge before me to meet the expectations of many. This is an important office and I do not take this mission lightly. I am already working on our strategic positioning, to ensure that ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia delivers what it promises and achieves itsÌýaims.

We are indebted to those in the local community who choose to study with ÿÈÕ´óÈü in Zambia and enjoy the enrichingÌýexperience of interacting online with fellow students and tutors in 156 countries around the world, which is a unique benefit of our University.

The international character of ÿÈÕ´óÈü is of strategic importance in proving to the nation that modern, quality Higher Education should provide opportunities for global exchange and interaction, and should not be confined within the borders of one country.

With the advent of online learning, Higher EducationÌýis no longer confined within the walls of an institution. It is a ubiquitous gift, whichÌýtranscends borders, cultures, and continents. It is now availableÌýeverywhere and can be accessed at any time. Online Learning is gaining ground as an efficient way to impart new knowledge, skills and qualifications, which is suitable for a wide range of individuals, in different careers.

I wish to invite eligible Zambian candidates to come to ÿÈÕ´óÈü to earn high quality, internationally recognised qualifications and build their network with fellow professionals aroundÌýthe world, without leaving Zambia, and at an affordable cost. The Unicaf Scholarship Programme is here to prove that international quality higher education need not be the prerogative of the few.’

ÿÈÕ´óÈü is a multi-campus institution with a physical presence, through state-of-the-art Campuses and Learning Centres in 12 African countries. ÿÈÕ´óÈü provides opportunities for affordable, accessible and credible higher education studies towards internationally recognised Bachelor, Master’s and Doctoral degrees, via flexible online delivery or through a combination of online and on campus learning. In addition, through its partnership with the Unicaf Organisation, ÿÈÕ´óÈü provides students the opportunity to enrol for degrees offered by Unicaf’s growing portfolio of partner Universities in the UK, such as the University of Suffolk, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of East London.

PRESS RELEASE

IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO ALL MEDIAÌýÌý

Another milestone in ÿÈÕ´óÈü’s rapid expansion and development was the announcement this month by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants that the University’s BSc in Accounting and Finance degree programme has received nine exemptions in the ACCA qualification examinations. After assessing the programme for accreditation, ACCA has awarded graduates of ÿÈÕ´óÈü’s BSc in Accounting and Finance a total of nine exemptions in the professional ACCA examination papers, that lead to the professional qualification of Chartered Certified Accountant and membership of the internationally recognised organisation.

The ACCA is the leading authority on matters concerning professional accountants, including education. The exemptions awarded to graduates of the BSc Accounting and Finance degree of ÿÈÕ´óÈü is further proof of the University’s high standards, which serve in offering students higher education of international quality and recognition, resulting in well-trained, knowledgeable professionals, who are able to secure good positions in the local and international job markets, after graduation.

ÿÈÕ´óÈü was created to transcend the usual boundaries of time and space in higher education, by offering fully online or blended learning degree programmes, the latter taking full advantage of the benefits of online delivery, through UNICAF’s Virtual Learning Environment, and of face to face tutorials and lectures at the University’s campuses and learning centres. Currently, UNICAF and ÿÈÕ´óÈü have a physical presence in ten locations in Africa with several more expected to be established very soon.

Eligible applicants can benefit from the generous UNICAF Scholarship Programme, bringing enormous discounts to the fees of partner universities. Online students can keep their jobs and salaries, and also save by staying at home throughout their studies. Everything they need for studying is provided to them through the digital platform, the VLE. Studying is based on modules, allowing students to concentrate on a particular subject, take the relevant exam and then take some short time off, if needed, to attend to work or family matters. The students decide the pace at which they learn, as well as the times when they do their studying. With rolling intakes, anytime is the right time to enrol with ÿÈÕ´óÈü.
