FAQs

What does it mean when a university in Cameroon is accredited or recognised by the NUC Nigeria?

Accreditation or recognition by the National Universities Commission (NUC) of Nigeria generally means that the NUC has evaluated the foreign institution’s standards and accepts that the degrees awarded by that institution can be recognised in Nigeria for purposes such as employment, further study, or professional registration. The NUC only recognises foreign universities that meet its criteria and have valid accreditation in their home country. However, official listings from NUC of foreign universities recognised in this way are rare and not regularly published.

Which universities in Cameroon are commonly mentioned as recognised or accredited by the NUC Nigeria?

Some sources list major public universities in Cameroon — such as the University of Buea, University of Yaoundé I, and University of Yaoundé II — as examples of institutions whose qualifications can be acknowledged by NUC because they are accredited in Cameroon and meet international recognition standards.

Is the University of Buea accredited in Cameroon and recognised by Nigerian authorities?

Yes, the University of Buea is a well-established public university in Cameroon with national accreditation in that country. It is commonly understood that because it is fully accredited in Cameroon, the NUC Nigeria generally recognises its degrees for academic and professional purposes, though students should always verify with NUC directly for specific field recognitions.

How can a Nigerian student verify if a Cameroonian university’s degree will be recognised for work or further study in Nigeria?

To be certain, a Nigerian student should check directly with the National Universities Commission (NUC) in Nigeria. NUC maintains verification procedures for evaluating foreign degrees (including from Cameroon) to confirm whether they are accepted for employment, postgraduate admission, or professional licensing in Nigeria. This often involves presenting official academic transcripts and proof of accreditation from the home country’s education authority.
