During an interview on @dadzietv on TikTok, three Master of Science (Procurement and Supply Chain Management) graduates explained that today’s competitive world demands not just higher education, but education from the right place.
According to them, UCC alternatively represent “University of Competitive Choices,” a space where academic pressure fuels growth rather than fear.
“This is the premium university. There is no point arguing about it,” one graduate stated firmly.
Another added that the intense academic culture was exactly what she sought.
“I wanted competition. I wanted a place that would push me to become better, and UCC does that,” she said.
Adding her voice, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education alumna praised UCC’s research culture, dismissing claims that the institution is unnecessarily difficult.
“UCC gives you knowledge that prepares you for the outside world. That strength stays with you,” she explained.
