The University of Calabar, Calabar was established in April 1975, but academic activities actually started in the 1973/74 session, in what was then a Campus of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). However, it became an autonomous institution and started academic work with the faculties of Arts, Science and Social Science in October 1976 with an initial enrolment of 896 students. Of this number, 406 students were carried over from the University of Nigeria. The institution has a Graduate School and over ten faculties with three Institutes. These include the faculties of Agriculture, Arts, Biological Sciences, Education, Law, Management Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, Allied Medical Sciences, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Institute of Education, Institute of Oceanography and Institute of Policy and Administrative Studies. Academic programmes of the University are aimed at laying a sound and broad undergraduate foundation upon which further intellectual and professional pursuits can be achieved at the Graduate school level aimed at building capacity and professionalism. The University places a great premium on learning and research as well as character development which helps provide the Nation and the world with learned men and women with a great sense of responsibility and capacity.
