Behind Kampala International University

Kampala International University (KIU) is a private, not-for-profit institution based in Uganda. It was established in 2001 and assumed chartered status in 2009.[citation needed][1]

In pursuit of the dream to raise the next generation of problem solvers for the East African region and indeed the whole of Africa, the University operates a multi-campus system which consists of two campuses in Uganda (the main campus in Kampala and the western campus in Ishaka-Bushenyi); one other university in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, while a third one is being developed in Nairobi, Kenya.[citation needed] The University which started as a typical degree-awarding institution has now grown into the number one Private University in Uganda and is currently ranked number 2 in the country according to the 2022 Webometric Ranking, out of 68 universities.[2] It is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the Association of Africa Universities as well as the Inter University-Council of East Africa. The University offers a variety of programmes in Health Sciences, Science and Technology, Engineering, Business and Management, Law, Humanities and Education.[citation needed]
