Strong Involvement in the Development of New Caledonia

As the main performer in higher education and research, the UNC is a tool for the development, construction and rebalancing of New Caledonia. With a unique institutional legitimacy stemming from the Noumea Agreement, the university “must meet the training and research needs specific to New Caledonia” (article 4.1.1). Consequently, it aims to support the country’s developments in the field of training (generalist, professional and continuing), scientific research and to contribute to its regional integration.

Shared Values

The values that are cultivated within the establishment are openness, ambition, integrity, innovation, excellence and youth development through training. They guide the actions and the development of the university and are echoed in the university’s slogan: “Build, transmit, radiate”.
