A Proud Legacy, a Promising Future
The Catholic University Institute of Buea, is an entrepreneurial University, which opened its doors to students in September 2010, and aims at not only training professionals but also professionals with spiritual and moral values. Education is the greatest asset to move a people forward.

That gave the university legal status as an international institution with funds initially donated by the Diocese.
