UNIUYO is situated in an easy accessible area from all different locations. UNIUYO is a federal University; the fees are affordable, unlike the state owned universities where they pay exorbitant fees. UNIUYO is the only university in the south-east where Electronics and Computer Engineering has been accredited by the National Universities Commission and COREN. In UNIUYO, admission is strictly by merit. The environment is intimidation and harassment-free, giving no room for cult activities.

It was upgraded to Advanced Teachers’ Training College in the 1960’s.
In 1975, it became a College of Education and was converted to the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) in 1983. In 1991, the erstwhile University of Cross River State assumed a new status and nomenclature called the University of Uyo, a Federal University. It is a citadel of learning, research and community development.
