The new postgraduate programmes have been uniquely designed with a wide range of specialisation options for learners which will be taught by a rich blend of distinguished professors and industry experts.
“All supervisors for Master’s Programmes hold PhD’s from the World’s leading Universities.
Their expertise, experience and commitment are clearly paying off and will see UTAMU produce the best in East Africa,” he explained.
While UTAMU has been offering collaborative postgraduate programmes with leading academic institutions both in Uganda and abroad, the five master’s programmes will be exclusively offered by UTAMU.
