The Official Digital Campus of Copperbelt University
CBU ECAMPUS is the digital learning division of Copperbelt University, one of Zambia’s leading public institutions. It was established to make higher education more accessible by offering fully online programmes designed for flexibility, quality, and academic excellence. With CBU ECAMPUS, students can earn the same recognised degrees as on-campus learners, without relocating or interrupting their careers.
Why CBU Launched an Online Campus
The launch of CBU ECAMPUS responds to a growing demand for flexible learning options in Zambia and across the region. Many students face barriers such as work schedules, distance from campus, or family responsibilities. By embracing digital education, Copperbelt University aims to remove these barriers, reach underserved communities, and meet the evolving needs of modern learners.
100% Online Degrees
All programmes offered through CBU ECAMPUS are fully online. Students can pursue undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma qualifications with the same academic rigour and recognition as traditional on-campus degrees.
Flexible Learning for Working Professionals
CBU ECAMPUS is designed to accommodate busy schedules. Learners can access lectures, readings, and assignments at any time, from any location. This flexibility is especially beneficial for working professionals, parents, and those living in remote areas.
Digital Resources and Academic Support
Students benefit from a comprehensive suite of digital tools, including a modern Learning Management System (LMS), virtual libraries, discussion forums, and access to lecturers and tutors online. The platform also provides technical support and guidance throughout the learning journey to ensure a smooth experience.
When we talk about the evolution of education in Zambia, it’s impossible not to mention CBU ECAMPUS. This isn’t just another platform offering online courses; it’s a revolution in e-learning.
Expanding Access Across Provinces

Enabling Lifelong Learning
For adult learners returning to education or professionals looking to upskill, the online model offers a second chance to earn a degree or advance in their careers. It supports continuous learning at any stage of life, aligned with Zambia’s national development goals.
Supporting Gender and Age Inclusivity
Digital education through CBU ECAMPUS has enabled more women, caregivers, and mature students to pursue degrees at their own pace. By removing traditional barriers to entry, the platform promotes inclusivity and diversity in higher education.
