Sierra Leone's former unitary public university system was known as the University of Sierra Leone. It is Africa's oldest university, having been founded in February 1827.

The University of Sierra Leone was restructured in May 2005, dividing Fourah Bay College and Njala University College into separate colleges. Its roots can be traced back to the Church Missionary Society's Fourah Bay College, which was founded as an Anglican missionary school with the help of Sierra Leone's governor, Charles MacCarthy. The first student to enroll in Fouray Bay was Samuel Ajayi Crowther. Krio and other Africans pursuing higher education in British West Africa were quickly drawn to Fourah Bay College. Nigerians, Ghanaians, Ivorians, and others were among them, particularly in the disciplines of religion and education. It was West Africa's first western-style university. As a homage to the college, Freetown was dubbed "the Athens of West Africa" during colonization.

The University of Makeni, originally known as the Fatima Institute and commonly referred to as UNIMAK, is one of the best universities in Sierra Leone. It is Sierra Leone's first private Catholic university. On October 8, 2005, the Emeritus of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Makeni, led by Reverend George Biguzzi, established the Fatima Institute. It was granted university status and given its current name in August 2009. The institution is owned by the Diocese of Makeni, and the Bishop of Makeni serves as chancellor.

UNIMAK joined the Sierra Leone Mental Health Coalition as a founding member in 2011, alongside the City of Rest and the Community Association for Psychosocial Services. The consortium of organizations, which specializes in mental health service provision, academia, and advocacy, has been at the forefront of calls for mental health sector reform in Sierra Leone.

The institution is privately held by the Emeritus of the Catholic Diocese of Makeni and is the country's first Catholic Mission-owned university. Members of the Makeni University Governing Council also govern it. UNIMAK is now Sierra Leone's only university that offers special education teacher training. The lack of special needs instructors in Sierra Leone has become a concern for the Ministry of Education, which has promised the government that it is supporting policy in Parliament to expand these programs based on UNIMAK's curricula.

Ernest Bai Koroma University of Science and Technology does not have a long history, but its constituent institutions have, a robust past and purpose-built campuses to draw on, but there is a significant need for rehabilitation and upscaling. The previous women's college, which became the Portloko staffs college, was the only post-secondary institution for women that trained and certified authentic and devoted female teachers who have stood the test of time in the teaching profession.

The current Makeni campus began as a Catholic institution, S.t Augustine's College, and eventually evolved into the Makeni Staff's, which changed into the Northern Polytechnic. For all of the college's alumni, morality was paramount. Staff from the college had a significant impact. The previous veterinary institute at Teko, which is part of the Makeni campus, served as the subregion's veterinary research headquarters. This is now unfortunately in ruins. The former Islamic college, which now serves as the secretariat, and the former government technical institute, also known as the trade center in Magburaka and now serving as the institute of technical and vocational education and training in the faculty of engineering, was once the pride of Islamic and technical education in the northern region. All of these institutions were founded to give a holistic education to the body, mind, and spirit.

Eastern Technical University is one of the best universities in Sierra Leone. It is a university in Kenema, Sierra Leone's third largest city. Eastern Technical University was designed as a multi-campus college with a campus at Bunumbu in the Kailahun District (which was destroyed during the Sierra Leone Civil War) and another at Woama in the Kono District, in addition to the Kenema campus (this campus was planned after the war and two buildings were erected but the site has been abandoned). The Bunumbu Teachers College and the Government Technical Institute were merged to form the college, which was founded as a consequence of a merger of two significant government institutions. Both universities had a lengthy history of contributing to Sierra Leone's educational system. In October 2001, Eastern Technical University was granted legal status as a tertiary educational institution. Prior to that, it had implemented a variety of programs aimed at offering educational opportunities for teachers, tradesmen, technicians, and technologists.
