About Mentorship

HIBMAT University Institute of Buea (HUIB) operates on the Anglo-Saxon style of education. This accounts for why our Institution is mentored by the two giant English Universities in Cameroon – the renowned University of Buea (UB) and the University of Bamenda (UBa).

At HUIB, we offer the two-year HND program for GCE Advanced level holders, a certification program offered only by institutions accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education. This means HUIB is a fully accredited University Institute.

For B-Tech and MBA, HUIB offers these certification programs under the mentorship of the University of Bamenda (UBa). An Extension of the Specific Partnership Agreement (SPA) was signed on December 30, 2020, to this effect.

On June 17, 2021, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Buea welcomed the HUIB team for the signing of the Framework and the Specific Agreements in mentoring HUIB in offering the one-year top-up B.Sc and the three-year B.Sc. programs. These agreements were signed by the various Vice Chancellors (UBa, Prof Theresia Nkuo Akenji and UB, Prof Horace Ngomo Manga), and the President/CEO of HIBMAT, Jude A. Chilaka.
