Gulu University (GU) is a university in Uganda. It is one of the nine public universities in the country, as of September 2016.[3]

Location

As of October 2016, GU has three campuses.

(a) The main campus is approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), by road, north-east of the central business district of Gulu, the largest city in the Uganda's Northern Region. This is approximately 333 kilometres (207 mi), by road, north of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[4]

(b) The second campus is in the town of Kitgum, approximately 104 kilometres (65 mi), by road, north-east of Gulu,[5] close to the international border with South Sudan. That campus became operational in 2011.[6]

(c) Upon the request of the Kingdom of Bunyoro, the university established a campus in the city of Hoima, offering agriculture, environment, computer science, information technology, business studies, accounting and education.[6]

History

GU was established by Act 7 of 2001 of the Parliament of Uganda. That Act was subsequently amended by Act 3 of 2006. The university admitted its first students and commenced teaching activities in September 2002.[7]

Progress

On 23 January 2010, during the fifth annual graduation ceremony, GU awarded degrees to 1,050 graduates, including 40 medical doctors, the first graduating class of the Gulu University School of Medicine (with the help of the University of Naples Federico II).[8] The graduates also included thirteen students who received a Master of Business Administration degree.[9]

Former association with Lira University

In 2009, GU established a constituent college in the city of Lira,[10] which is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) to the southeast of Gulu.[11] The campus, then named Lira University College,[12] admitted its first students in August 2012 (100 of them).[13] It continued operating in this capacity until the Ugandan Parliament (Act No. 35, July 2016) elevated it to an independent public university. Since 1 August 2016, it has been referred to as Lira University.[10][14]
