What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001738) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 101 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.0★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Côte d'Ivoire yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

CHRISTINE DOMINIQUE N'DRI

An iconic place in Abidjan, the city of the universe, where the world in miniature is a world made of beautiful people, where you will meet all sorts of people and experience anecdotes ranging from unlicensed tax collectors and unlicensed real estate agents to unarmed security and cheerleaders at bus stops – long live the F brothers! ? …

KOUAO JEAN- ROMEO YAPI

As a student of the said University, I am satisfied with the teachers' efforts but no more so for innovation. The school is not evolving at the modern pace that characterizes us. It will be a benefit if this establishment is among the best university centers in Africa; it must at least represent Côte d'Ivoire, our country.

Muhamad Ali FARES

In any case, the university has changed a lot; the sports fields and playgrounds coexist perfectly with the classrooms and lecture halls. However, the poor maintenance of the infrastructure, or lack thereof, is a shame. Upon entering, one would expect cleanliness and hygiene standards to be met, but this is not the case.

Myriam Doumbia

I have been a student since 2015, but I haven't known a year without a strike... But the worst is this year... The president refuses to pay teachers for their working hours... we have been deprived of our rights for almost a month now. So if he is incapable of properly managing the University, let him resign!

Baudoin ZOBO

A peaceful and beautiful setting for studies. The university's renovation has given it a new look and improved cleanliness, sparking the curiosity of many. It is important to address the recurring social unrest within the student and faculty communities in order to enhance its image.

Abidjan

"If human beings, seeking the truth, turn away from the word of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, will they not lose true love or trust in divine providence? Or will they not do without the truth altogether? Let us save our souls by the word of God, and not by the word of gods!"

Wilfried R. Gueye

A university isn't just about paint, asphalt, or infrastructure.
Review the content of the courses taught there, adapt them to the country's needs, fund and conduct real research, and organize things better.
Only from this point on will we truly begin the development of our country.

Ramino Kong

The university is beautiful, and the facilities and classrooms are impeccably maintained. A sense of tranquility prevails, and success is evident. Ultimately, one can only comment after a visit. Therefore, only your presence within the institution will provide a definitive opinion.

renaud rajoel

Notice to the new graduate, University is cool, we're waiting for you, don't listen to what people say, the teacher is good quality with excellent professors, well, you shouldn't lie to yourself, there are often strikes, however, university is a great experience, good luck

marius gnomblei

As a student at this university, I can say with certainty that the teaching is of high quality with competent professors. However, the science labs need to be better equipped to provide students with a high-level education. Thank you, that was my humble opinion.

Joseph Dossou

A quiet but fairly large place that was once at the forefront of technology. Today, it is gradually equipping itself with all the latest 21st-century technologies. It should be noted that it is one of the most prestigious universities in West Africa.
