The Norbert Zongo University (French: Université Norbert Zongo; UNZ), formerly the University of Koudougou (French: Université de Koudougou; UK), is one of three public universities in Burkina Faso. It is located in the city of Koudougou.[1] As of 2015/2016 it had the second highest enrollment of students nationally (16.2%) behind the University of Ouagadougou (renamed Université Ouaga 1 Professeur Joseph Ki-Zerbo, UO1-JKZ) which had 32.8% of the national total enrollment. The University Ouaga 2, the Nazi Boni University (UNB) and the Institut des Sciences (IDS) had 13.2%, 11.3%, and 1.9% of total university enrollment, respectively.
