Applicants for combined lecturing and research should plan on a 70/30 teaching to research ratio. Undergraduate classes are large but get smaller for advanced undergraduate and graduate classes. A letter of invitation from the host institution, submitted as part of the application, is recommended but not required. To apply for a visa into Cameroon, a letter of invitation from the host institution is required. The academic year begins in October and ends in July.
