We are located 8 km from the centre of Kampala City, the
Capital of Uganda and barely an hour from Entebbe

The vision we hold
at KYU is to become a Centre for Academic and Professional Excellence. Our Mission is to advance and
promote knowledge and development of skills in Science,
Technology and Education and such other fields having regard for quality, equity, progress and transformation of Society.
We provide high quality
University Education in a stimulating environment. Our
research strategy focuses critically on the most
intellectually and practically applicable areas. Such a
dynamic approach is geared at creating teachers, engineers, community development specialists, managers and other professionals.
Our history starts way back in 1928 and 1945 when the former Uganda Polytechnic
Kyambogo (UPK) and the Institute of Teacher Education
Kyambogo ( ITEK), respectively, were established and
later, the Uganda National Institute of
Special Education (UNISE) in 1988. Kyambogo University was established by an
Act of Parliament in 2003 after a merger of these three
institutions on Kyambogo Hill.
