We provide high quality University Education in a stimulating environment. Our research strategy focuses critically on the most intellectually and practically applicable areas.

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.
