A new kind of university for Côte d’Ivoire.
We exist to give Côte d’Ivoire and the region a university that teaches in both English and French, stays rooted in Abidjan, and prepares graduates for work that crosses borders.
Vision and mission
Vision
We are a team driven and devoted to providing an inclusive platform for all to achieve lifelong learning and lifetime ambition.
Mission
We provide a platform for learners and professionals to acquire knowledge with top-level lecturers and facilitators in a small class environment.
A generation that works across languages and borders, without leaving home to do it. That is the future we are building toward.

Founded in Abidjan
UNIABIDJAN opened as a private university teaching in English and French from the start.
Côte d’Ivoire has the talent. What it has lacked is a university built around it. Too many young Ivorians have had to choose between a French-only or an English-only education, and between staying home or leaving to get it. UNIABIDJAN was founded to remove that choice.
What we stand for
Knowledge
We foster unhindered pursuit of knowledge and continuous learning as the foundation of academic excellence.
Excellence
We strive for excellence in all our endeavours, setting high standards for academic and professional achievement.
Innovation
We encourage discovery, creativity and innovative thinking to address complex challenges.
For Abidjan, and for the world.
An Ivorian institution where English and French are equals, rooted in West Africa and open to everywhere our graduates will go.
And how we work
Integrity
We uphold honesty, trust and ethical conduct in all our academic and professional relationships.
Respect
We value respect toward all stakeholders and our community, embracing diversity and inclusion.
Fairness
We promote fairness, equity and justice in all our policies, practices and interactions.
The four traditions we teach from
African vibrancy
Local heritage, entrepreneurial energy and the resilience of the communities students come from.
Anglo-Saxon creativity
Innovation, critical thinking and flexibility in how a subject is taught and learned.
Francophone distinction
The rigour, the elegance and the scholarly tradition of Francophone academic work.
Asian pragmatism
Discipline, efficiency and methods that are judged on the results they produce.
This is the university we are building.
