The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba, reacting to the news, said, “This is a preliminary indicator of great feats ahead. In spite of being in operation for two years, UTAMU has managed to beat academic institutions which have been in existence for decades. 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.
