About UFRA

UFRA, a university of excellence in the heart of Abidjan.

WHO WE ARE

A UNIVERSITY OF EXCELLENCE

Founded in 1999 in partnership with the École Supérieure de Gestion de Paris, UFRA has established itself as a benchmark for private higher education in West Africa. Its mission is to train a new generation of leaders and decision-makers, equipped to thrive in a globalised and competitive environment.

Through rigorous and innovative programmes, UFRA awards both internationally recognised French degrees and Ivorian degrees accredited by the State of Côte d'Ivoire. This dual recognition gives students a unique advantage, opening the door to both local and international careers.

Drawing on international academic standards, the university's mission is built around:

  • Academic quality, through prestigious partnerships;
  • International openness, fostering mobility and competitiveness;
  • Immediate employability for students, through a teaching approach geared towards practice and the business world.

UFRA is more than a university: it is a springboard to the future.
