Currently,  the University operates from its take-off site at the premises of former St. Paul’s College, Awka, founded by the Church Missionary Society (CMS), an evangelical arm of the Church of England (Anglican), in 1904 as a college for the training of Church workers and teachers of various categories. The campus is thus a hallowed ground, providing an ideal academic environment where students and staff, under Christian discipline and administrative guidance, are maximally focused in their academic pursuits with no distraction. The permanent site of the University is at Oji River, on the Awka-Enugu expressway, and plans are under way for its development.

The goal of the University is grounded in the records of excellence posted by our forebearers, the Anglican Church, in pioneering primary and secondary education in Nigeria, and in inculcating sound morals along with impeccable intellectual preparation of students. Anglican schools in the past, with a structured supervisory system, laid great emphasis on the total man – his intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development, and on his discipline and the fear of God, which is indeed, the beginning of all wisdom.

Being anchored on our motto, which says,“Here am I send me”, our products are grounded in both academic and spiritual values, which make them contributors to positive change and development wherever they are found after graduation.

Currently Paul University offers twenty-six programmes of study in three faculties, namely, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Management and Social Sciences, and Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences and the Institute of Theology. We are hopeful that more programmes of the University will be accredited by the National University Commission (NUC) after its recent visit. Our curriculum lays emphasis on academic achievements, and acquisition of practical and entrepreneurial skills, which enhances the versatility of our students in the world of work and job creation. And very importantly, these programmes are affordable. Our staff are diligent, experienced and highly disciplined.

We are currently undergoing massive re-branding programmes as enunciated by the Governing Council of the University. These programmes are designed in making the Institution the University of first choice in Nigeria and beyond.

We emphasize the fear of God, sound academic development, excellent character development, hard-work, diligence and entrepreneurship.

While wishing you very happy interaction with the website and its portals, I commend you all to the unflinching love of the Almighty God and the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom all things subsist.
