Bamenda University is An Anglo-Saxon Institution
Anglo-Saxons
is the name collectively applied to the descendants of the Germanic people who
settled in Britain between the late 4th and early 7th cents. and to their
ancestors. Their backgrounds varied. Some came as mercenaries, others as
invaders. They included, besides Angles and Saxons, Jutes and other groups.
Some had experience of Frankish Gaul and hence some acquaintance with Roman
institutions and culture. The eventual use of the name ‘English’ and ‘England’
for people and territory probably owes something to the influence of Bede, whose History
of the English People dealt with the whole. He followed Pope Gregory I, who
knew the people as Angles.
Why is the University of Bamenda
called An Anglo-Saxon University
The
University of Bamenda is referred to as an Anglo-Saxon University because it is
set purely on premises of the Anglo-Saxon tradition. First, this has to do with
the language of instruction. Unlike other state universities in Cameroon, The Buea
and Bamenda universities use English language as the language of instruction. The
English culture is scrupulously adhered and maintained. Although the French
language is taught to students of the first cycle, this however, is principally
to maintain the bilingual nature of the country Cameroon. Courses at The
University of Bamenda are taught and evaluated in the English language.
Moreover,
it is important to mention before proceeding that in addition to the five
papers Ordinary Levels and at least two Advanced Level papers requirement for
one to be admitted at the University of Bamenda, Ordinary Level English
language is primordial. Anglophone Students who are envisage to make Bamenda University
their next destination must have had English language at the Ordinary Level.
