Calamus International University is a non-traditional, private, global university organised as a network of affiliated schools and educators in various countries. The University is registered in the Republic of Vanuatu and is not accredited by any government-approved US, UK or European body. CIU degrees appeal to people who wish to study unconventional fields (including hypnotherapy, complementary therapies, esoteric studies, contemporary spirituality and metaphysics) and/ or those who are seeking a more accessible and affordable route to a degree in fields such as counseling psychology and management. Various other fields are offered.

An independent study PhD scheme allows people to work on original research theses leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree in multidisciplinary or unusual topics that might be hard to place at traditional universities. Under the Independent Study Scheme the scholar, and not the supervisor, is regarded as the focus of expertise and the scholar normally has already devoted extensive effort to his/ her research - though has not written the thesis - before enrolling with the University. Under a variation of this scheme, authors may propose manuscripts in progress for consideration in lieu of a thesis and thus gain a degree for the book they are working on.

Calamus International University was established in the Turks & Caicos Islands in the West Indies in 2001, and later was reincorporated in the Republic of Vanuatu (in the Pacific) as Calamus International University (British West Indies) Limited, a company limited by guarantee. In Vanuatu, there is no requirement for a degree-granting university entity to have state accreditation.

CIU has welcomed degree students from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Kenya, France, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Israel and various other countries.

Calamus Extension College Ltd. also validates and certifies vocational and professional certificates and diplomas, issuing private UK awards for teaching carried out locally in countries such as Kenya, Malaysia, Pakistan and elsewhere where UK awards are desirable.
