It aims to assess the impact of university education on women’s empowerment, identify barriers to access and completion, and evaluate current policies and programs. Data was collected using questionnaires from students, academic, and administrative staff at UCU. The findings show that university education enhances women’s job prospects, economic independence, and confidence in political participation. However, barriers like financial constraints, cultural norms, and early marriages persist. Recommendations include increasing scholarships, addressing cultural challenges, and strengthening affirmative action and NGO programs to support women’s education.enThesis
