Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) has distinguished herself as a higher education center of excellence in the region over the years through offering innovative programs that are administered by world-class professors and producing groundbreaking research. Our small student numbers allows for a closer interaction between the professors and the students.

MUST has grown from a single faculty to five faculties and three institutes offering programs tailored for the market in the medical sciences, natural sciences with education, computing and informatics sciences, engineering, social sciences and business and management sciences at certificate, diploma bachelors, masters and PhD levels. The Community Based Education (CBE) approach, pioneered in Uganda by MUST, has helped MUST develop curricula which facilitates the interaction between the local communities, professors and students, to make them more directed towards the prevailing and emerging socioeconomic challenges within Uganda and beyond. This approach has enabled MUST gain global recognition as the best in Uganda.

MUST offers a multicultural environment that nurtures critical and progressive thinkers, intertwining learning and living together through various extracurricular activities such as sports and games, forums, professional students’ associations, cultural galas, etc that add to the unique tradition and experience of being a student at MUST .

MUST has continued to grow, and with funding secured from the African Development Bank we are currently setting up new world- class lecture rooms, library and multi-purpose laboratory at our Kihumuro Campus.
