Thomas SANKARA University (Université Thomas SANKARA)

The University of Ouagadougou (UO) has recorded a massive influx of new graduates since 2000. The rapid increase in numbers has led to insufficient and unsuitable reception facilities. To deal with this problem of overstaffed staff, the Burkinabe government decided by decree on December 12, 2007 to create the Ouaga II University, which will be based in Gonsé, a locality located in the municipality of Saaba.
Since the 2007-2008 academic year, this university has brought together training and research units (UFR) in Legal and Political Sciences (SJP) and in Economics and Management Sciences (SEG). These units were previously attached to the University of Ouagadougou.

Ouaga II University is a public state institution of a scientific, cultural and technical nature (EPSCT). Its fundamental mission is the development and transmission of knowledge for the training of men and women, in order to meet the needs of the nation.
To do this, it pursues the following objectives:

-the training of executives in various fields, particularly in Law and Economics;
-scientific research and popularization of research work;
-the raising of the technical, scientific and cultural levels of the workers;
-the contribution to the economic, social and cultural development of the country;
