About the Centre for International Programmes
Brief History
International relations was mainstreamed into the structures of the University in 2003 with the creation of the Office of International Relations. In 2012/2013 academic year the office of International Relations and University Relations Office were merged to form the International Relations and Public Affairs Division (IRPAD) in order to harness the synergy between the two offices in a bid to maximize their potentials. It was charged with the responsibility of marketing the UEW brand and managing the international relations of the University.
In the 2015/2016 academic year, the University again decided to create the Division of Publication and Communication, and the Centre for International Programmes (CIP) out of IRPAD. This took effect from March, 2016. CIP is expected to handle the University’s international relations and activities.
