University of Liberia: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    The University of Liberia is a public university in Monrovia, Liberia, and it suits students who want a government-funded institution with multiple campuses in and around the capital. It is also a fit for applicants who want a long-established university in Liberia and can confirm their programme and campus choice before applying.

  2. What you can study

    The university’s current subject catalogue is not published in the information available, so the programme range should be checked on the official website. It operates four campuses: Capitol Hill in Monrovia, Fendall in Louisiana outside Monrovia, the Medical School Campus in Congo Town, and the Straz-Sinje Campus in Sinje Grand Cape Mount County.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and confirm programme requirements, documents, deadlines, and any campus-specific entry rules before submitting an application. The university publishes a website for current admissions details, so that is the place to verify entry steps and contact information.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs will depend on campus location and personal spending, so budget separately for housing, food, transport, and health needs in Liberia.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university’s language of instruction is not published, so confirm it directly before applying. If you are moving from abroad, also check visa requirements, the campus where your programme is based, accommodation options, and how fees are paid in USD.

  6. How it compares

    Liberia has one university in this directory, so the University of Liberia is the country’s only listed option here. That makes it the reference point for applicants comparing public higher education in Liberia, especially if they want a university with multiple campuses in Monrovia and beyond.
