1.0. BACKGROUND

In initiating, developing and implementing programs in Higher Education, Bamenda University of Science and Technology (BUST) has identified several strategic orientations for the creation, development and maintenance of a BUST Higher Education and Research Space. Creating a Higher Education and Research Space through institutional, national, regional and international collaboration equally fits in with BUST’s strategy for the harmonization of the Bachelor, Master and Doctor (BMD) system in Cameroon and within the CEMAC countries, based on the BOLOGNA System. The BOLOGNA system aims at strengthening the capacity of higher education institutions through innovative forms of collaboration, improving the quality of higher education and promoting academic mobility across institutions, countries, regions and continents.
