Kinshasha
The Catholic University of Congo is a private Catholic University renowned for its excellence, for its dynamism, for its exceptional quality of the teaching offered to its students and for the relevance of its study program. Created in 1987 by the Episcopal Conference of Zaire, under the name transformed from the Faculty of Catholic Theology of Kinshasa to the Catholic Faculties of Kinshasa (FCK). The institution thus had two faculties: the faculty of Theology and that of Philosophy. In July 1989, the Standing Committee of Bishops decided to create a third faculty, that of Development Sciences and Techniques, called since the 2000-2001 academic year Faculty of Economics and Development. It also decides, during the same session of July 1989, to organize within the Faculty of Theology, a department of Canon Law. In June 1991, the Standing Committee of Bishops decided to create a fourth faculty: the Faculty of Social Communications, the official opening of which took place in October 1993. At the end of the Board of Directors in June 2007, the Standing Committee of Bishops decided to create a sixth faculty: the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences which opened its doors in October 2009. After five years of existence, it will be split into two, in October 2013; on the one hand, the Faculty of Law and on the other hand, that of Political Sciences. In view of the stature of the Catholic faculties of Kinshasa, the plenary assembly of July 2009 officially proclaimed them the Catholic University of Congo (UCC) whose statutes were already approved in 2003 and the Rules of Procedure in 2008. The Catholic University of Congo today offers a diversified program by faculty and degree from 1, 2 nd and 3 rd cycle, characterized by interdisciplinarity, valuation of general culture and Christian values. The Catholic University of Congo (UCC) has two campuses, one is located in the heart of the city of Kinshasa in Limete, the other in the western part of the city, in the commune of Mont Ngafula. Its two campuses, the Limete campus and the Mont-Ngafula campus, are integrated into the urban fabric of the city of Kinshasa.
