Welcome to HIPS

OUR HISTORY

The Higher Institute of Professional Studies (HIPS) was created in 2012 with authorization by the Ministry of Higher Education in Cameroon. Each year, HIPS attracts hundreds of bright and ambitious students who pass through our doors. They leave a bit of themselves behind when they head off to that first job or post graduate school. They are proud of the institution they helped build and continue to sustain it through various ways.

Over the years, HIPS has become a benchmark for quality and professionalism and the institution continues to produce some of the best results in the entire country. HIPS is accredited by the prestigious University of Buea, its mentor university, to award the professional bachelors (B. Tech) as well as Bachelor of Science degrees.

HIPS seeks to promote the impartial pursuit of knowledge and understanding about how people organize themselves into, and interact within, social groupings. The social sciences offer a number of ways of investigating and thinking about these questions while solving the world’s economic problems. That is why the focus of our teaching is on helping you to learn some of the different ways to test your ideas as well as those of other people: and, in the words of our motto, learn today, lead tomorrow.

While aiming for the highest standards of independent judgement, we seek to make our work practical and relevant to the real world. Teaching draws on the insights derived from our academic staff’s current research. This can be an exploration of theoretical or technical developments in an academic subject, but much is also applied to topical and practical concerns. Many members of staff are prominent Professors and Doctors from some renown universities and they act as expert advisers to successful organizations.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to make a significant contribution to the community and the world’s people through the coordination of intellectual resources for the pursuit of high-quality education, high standard of learning and research at an international level.

OUR STORY

The HIPS story began when two brothers; Maliva Samuel Lyonga, the President and Isuma Lyonga, the Director General returned to Cameroon in a bid to transfer the invaluable knowledge and skills acquired from abroad.

In 2012, the Ministry of Higher Education in Cameroon authorized the creation of Higher Institute of Professional Studies, most commonly known today as HIPS. The institution opened its doors in 2012 with a handful of students. However, its pursuit to provide affordable high quality education in the country and beyond has made HIPS to now boast of several hundreds of bright and ambitious national and international students. The institution has now grown remarkably to be one of the best private universities in the country and far beyond with over fifty enthusiastic staff of diverse origin, carefully handpicked from countries around the world.

The institution seeks to promote the impartial pursuit of knowledge and understanding about how people organize themselves into, and interact within, social groupings. The social sciences offer a number of ways of investigating and thinking about these questions while solving the world’s economic problems. That is why the focus of our teaching is on helping students to learn some of the different ways to test their ideas as well as those of other people; which is clearly reflected in our motto - delivering wisdom to shape the future. 

While aiming for the highest standards of independent judgment, we seek to make our work practical and relevant to the real world. We believe that teaching draws on the insights derived from our academic staff’s current research. This can be an exploration of theoretical or technical developments in an academic subject, but much is also applied to topical and practical concerns. Many members of staff are prominent Professors and Doctors from some renowned universities and they act as expert advisers to successful organizations.

Over the years, HIPS has become a benchmark for quality and high standard of professionalism and the institution continues to produce some of the best students in the entire country. Based on our vision and mission, HIPS has created strategic partnerships with award-winning institutions around the world. Some of the greatest achievements of HIPS are its successful affiliation to the prestigious University of Buea, several links with large national organizations and global partners such as TelEmerge of India and institutions in Great Britain and other countries around the world.

We remain proud of the fact that HIPS is described by students, the staff and the community in general as the best place to study and work.
