Overview
Some years ago, Bishop David Oyedepo, the presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, envisioned an academic institution where academic curriculum is qualitative, service-based and value driven with an overarching emphasis on Human Development from a Total Man Concept and Entrepreneurial Development base. Sequel to this, the University has been recording landmark accomplishments.

Our aim is to build a world-class university that will be the pride of Africa as well as take its place among the Ivory league Universities on the global platform. The University has put in a lot to drive a visible presence on the local and international scene via the establishment of networks and partnership across different universities. At the moment, the university is in the process of establishing multiple linkages with universities around the world. As the University continue to extend its wings towards achieving a well-balanced international caliber education, it gave way for the need to set up an office, which will focus more on the exchange and linkages services between Covenant University and its growing sister universities across the globe.

The International Office & Linkages directs all programs of the University in the areas of global community service, institution building, and networking. The role of the International Office & Linkages is to lead the development of internationalization at Covenant University by acting as the central coordinator and facilitator of all internationally related initiatives and activities. The International Office & Linkages is tasked to promote, facilitate, and assess programs of international collaboration between Covenant University and renowned institutions.

This Collaboration can be achieved in several ways: Faculty or student exchange, exchange of materials, research participation and involvement, and shared conference planning are only some of the possibilities. Both the cooperating institution and Covenant University should be able to gain from the relationship. Sometimes these goals are achieved through bilateral agreements and at other times through networks of participating institutions.
