Years Experience

The university teaches from Buea and Douala in Cameroon, from its resource centre in Nigeria, and online to students on every continent.

Distance and online students study the same curriculum, sit the same assessments and receive the same award as students on campus. Course materials, assignments, examinations and transcripts are handled through the student portal.

Master’s students attend two seminars a year, each of five days at the campus; doctoral students attend four one-week seminars a year. These are the points at which distance study becomes residential.

24 programmes and 48 courses, from certificate to doctorate.

Theology students also take part in chapel services, prayer retreats, community outreach, mission internships, leadership conferences, student theological societies and research seminars.

ICOF Global University belongs to the worldwide fellowship of the International Circle of Faith, with sister colleges, seminaries and ministries across Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia. Students join us from many nations — on campus in Buea and Douala, through our center in Nigeria, and online from anywhere in the world.

Master’s and doctoral programs are offered fully online: live classes, course materials, assessments and supervision are delivered through the student portal, and your transcript builds automatically as you study. Graduation ceremonies in Buea welcome international graduates and their families every January.

Buea, in the foothills of Mount Cameroon, is one of Central Africa’s university towns — anglophone, welcoming and affordable. Single-room student accommodation with kitchen and facilities costs roughly USD 60 to 85 per month, paid locally in FCFA, and the campus sits opposite Bulu Blind Junction with easy access to the town.

Every degree level requires proof of English language proficiency. Applicants holding qualifications from outside Cameroon are assessed against the comparable Cameroonian qualification.

Requirements vary by faculty and by degree level. The full list for each level is in the Academic Catalog; the summary below is the shape of it.

At ICOF Global University, we realize each student is unique and that includes their financial situation. We offer flexible methods to cover your tuition costs. Going to college is a big step, but you don’t have to go it alone — earning a degree shouldn’t break the bank.

ICOF operates two fee bands. Students from Africa and the Global South pay a subsidised rate, funded as scholarship — the university carries the difference so that cost is not what keeps a called student out of higher education. Students from Europe and North America pay a higher rate, set at approximately European levels and slightly below them; those fees help fund the scholarship band. Which band applies is determined by nationality and residence, not by mode of study.

We provide financial aid through scholarships — follow our announcements and newsletters to know when a scholarship program is published. Every programme is available on campus in Buea and Douala, online, or as a combination of the two.

Fees payable in addition to tuition, the terms of payment and the refund schedule are set out in the Academic Regulations. The pass mark is 65% and grades run from A at 94–100% downward.
