Kesmonds International University is a private, non-profit institution located in Ngaoundere, Cameroon.
The university began its journey in 2010, not as a university, but as a non-governmental organization with a noble mission. This organization dedicated itself to helping students from underprivileged backgrounds secure scholarships to study in developed countries. Through this initiative, many young individuals from disadvantaged communities were given the opportunity to pursue higher education and build brighter futures. In 2014, this organization underwent a significant transformation, evolving into a fully-fledged university. This marked a new chapter in its history, as it expanded its offerings to include a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across various academic disciplines.
The university's commitment to providing quality education to students from all backgrounds has remained unwavering. It has consistently sought innovative ways to enhance the learning experience, emphasizing on-campus learning, research-based learning, industrial and skilled-based learning, and experience-based learning. The university has also embraced technology to reach students in remote areas, offering distance learning programs that leverage modern technology to bridge geographical gaps. This commitment to accessibility has allowed the university to reach a wider audience and provide educational opportunities to those who may not have had access to traditional on-campus learning.
The university's focus on entrepreneurial education has also been a key factor in its success. By equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to start and run their own businesses, the university is empowering them to become job creators and contribute to economic growth. Through its innovative teaching methods, emphasis on practical skills development, and commitment to providing quality education to students from diverse backgrounds, the university has earned a reputation for excellence and become a beacon of hope for aspiring students in the region.
