Uganda Technology and Management University (UTAMU) has been ranked 12th best University in Uganda by the Webometrics, Ranking of World Universities.

While UTAMU comes in 12th among the 37 Universities in Uganda, it is ranked 353rd out of the 1307 Higher Academic Institutions in Africa, beating numerous institutions which have been in existence for decades.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba, reacting to the news, said, “This is a preliminary indicator of great feats ahead.

This attests to our commitment to stand out and build a leading and global institution of learning in Technology and Management”.

 To say that the news of the ranking was ‘well received’ would be an understatement. Some Staff were seen exchanging hugs and handshakes for a job well-done during the course of the week.
