Unicaf offers online education through over 150 partner universities worldwide. It was founded in 1977 by a group of scholars, who were frustrated by the high cost of higher education and wanted to give more people the opportunity to complete their degrees. Today, Unicaf offers fully online Bachelor, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in more than 120 programmes.

Unicaf’s Scholarship Programme enables students to fund their studies by paying up to 60% of their tuition fees as long as they complete their studies.

The programme has been developed in consultation with the UN, which has recognised the importance of reducing the cost of education in the developing world, especially for students who may be unable to pay their tuition fees.
