We wish to thank everyone who applied to the Pan African University from across Africa.

The call for the Pan African University scholarship applications for the 2019-2020 academic year was open between 14 May and 27 June 2019. This deadline was thereafter extended to 7 July 2019 to encourage applicants from the least represented countries to apply and promote AU Member States’ representation within the University.
 
The deadline for the submission of applications is now closed. The rigorous selection process has already started and results shall be communicated to successful candidates in due course when the selection process is completed.


Du 14 mai au 27 juin, l’Université panafricaine a officiellement  lancé un appel à candidatures pour l’inscription à l’Université panafricaine pour le compte de l’année académique 2019-2020. Ce délai a par la suite été reporté au 7 juillet 2019 afin d’encourager les ressortissants des pays les moins représentés à faire acte de candidature et partant promouvoir la représentativité des Etats membres de l’Union africaine au sein de l’Université.

Le délai de dépôt des candidatures est désormais clos. Le rigoureux processus de sélection est enclenché et les résultats seront communiqués en temps opportun, aux candidats retenus, une fois la procédure de sélection achevée.

RECTORATE

The Rectorate is responsible for the daily management of the PAU and is headed by the Rector who is the Chief Executive Officer of the PAU.

At the Malabo Summit held in June 2015, African Heads of State and Government adopted Decision EX.CL/Dec.829 to host the Rectorate of the Panafrican University. Following this decision, a high level panel was set up by Decision EX.CL/Dec.829  (XXV) to designate the country that will host the PAU Rectorate. Considering the report by this panel, the Executive Council selected Cameroon as host country and recommended the designation of Cameroon by the Ordinary session of the African Union Assembly who endorsed the selection in January 2016.

The Pan African University is a flagship project of the African Union
