The Office of International Programmes

Anchored in its rich history as the first university in Nigeria and originally instituted as an independent college of the University of London in 1948, the University of Ibadan (UI) has a long history of internationalization since its inception. Furthermore, UI has made internationalization a top priority in its strategic plan to expand its mission as a leading African institution. The Office of International Programmes (OIP) was therefore established in May 2009 to advance the internationalization of the University of Ibadan. The OIP is committed to making the University of Ibadan an institution known and respected for its adherence to global standards and the cultivation of values of global citizenship in an effort to enlarge the Universitiy’s frontiers of international relationships. Our office is therefore dedicated to assisting UI staff and students as well as international students to optimize the benefits of global engagement and interaction. We also encourage international scholars and students that plan to attend or visit the University of Ibadan to contact the Office of International Programmes.
