The University of the Nations is like the Internet. It is a university without borders, an extended network of interrelated locations. Unlike the Internet, though, the University of the Nations is not virtual; it exists in real time, at real places with real people. When you consider Christ's kingdom, it makes sense, Jesus said "disciple all nations" (Matt. 28:19).

As future leaders, U of N students must be international and cross-cultural in their experiences and mindset. Therefore they study and do field assignments in two or more continents, learning alongside students from many other countries. Some courses have internships and even apprenticeships in the areas of the students' passion and call. They complete their work with not only a university degree, but also with a first hand knowledge of the world, as our courses are designed to focus on meeting specific needs in the nations. To make this possible, we have courses registered and approved in more than 100 countries. There are over 50 languages used in our schools. We offer hundreds of courses distributed among seven colleges/faculties on every continent.

Founded upon biblical principles, the University of the Nations (U of N) fulfills its commitment to Christ and His Great Commission by equipping men and women spiritually, culturally, intellectually, and professionally, and by inspiring them to use their God-given abilities to communicate and demonstrate the Gospel in all nations.

The University of the Nations is unique. It is global, cross-cultural, and adaptable. Approximately 15'000 students a year take one or more registered courses in over 50 languages and 300 locations. Our training combines both formal and non-formal education, with a commitment to worshipping God in spirit and truth, making room for that expression in all that we do.

The U of N has developed a modular approach to education which allows students to concentrate on only one course for an entire term. The modular system enhances learning by providing students with intensive and focused time on each topic. Typically, visiting teachers spend a full week or two on their area of expertise, which allows the students to focus upon and absorb one subject at a time. The concentrated study in one subject area during a twelve-week term prepares the student to work effectively in a subsequent field assignment in a mission setting.
