Background of Mbarara University of Science and Technology
Our History:
Mbarara University of Science and Technology also known as MUST was opened in October 1989 after extensive modification of physical facilities of the former School of Midwifery at the Mbarara District Hospital. The Mbarara University of Science and Technology Statue 1989 as passed by the National Resistance Council was the enabling law that established MUST as a body corporate.
At that time Uganda’s economy and social infrastructure which had collapsed, due to civil wars in the 1970s and 1980s. Therefore, with the government’s realization that higher education was a critical asset for nation-building, and in particular that Science and Technology was the most realistic driver to lead this initiative, MUST was, therefore, a welcome idea and has to date lived to that expectation.
