CCU offers small size, engaging, lively learning environment. Our lecturers are better equipped to deal with the needs of a lecture room by observing and fine-tuning their style of teaching to ensure that everyone is in tune with the processes.
Beyond enabling the students to merely read books and to watch idly as practical exercises are performed, students in CCU participate actively in workshops for practical hands-on experience. From day one, students can expect to get real world briefs under the guidance of their lecturers.
At CCU, our students are our primary focus and we work tirelessly to make sure they get the required education and mentoring needed from qualified lecturers, and we do that by assessing our lecturers regularly through our students’ eyes.
Coal city university, with its students in mind as first priority, has developed and online learning platform for its student, not only for the comfort and easy learning experience but also for protection, to enable them stay protected from the ongoing global pandemic. In this sense, students can have their normal lectures and write their continuous- assessment tests from home.

Infrastructures for sports and recreational activities are also available for our students’ co-curricular activities.

A bill to establish the University was presented to the Enugu State House of Assembly. This was sponsored by Hon. David Atigwe in August 2003.

Thereafter, the Board of Trustees applied to National Universities Commission for a license to establish Coal City University in Enugu. Unfortunately, Rev. Fr.
