Uganda Christian University (UCU) has come out of the Covid pandemic and lockdown with its first School of Medicine (SoM) graduates, a new building on the Mukono campus and recognition of faculty elevated to high-level leadership positions, among others.

In September 2017, instead of Okia applying for a medical course, he instead applied for the law and excelled well in his pre-entry; little of his classmates knew his secret that he had a science background.

Uganda Christian University (UCU) recently conducted child-centered research in Mukono District secondary schools. The study was carried out under the auspices of the Directorate of Research, Innovation, and Partnership.

Dr. Edward Kanyesigye (informally known as D. Ned) is a triumphant man. The founding dean of Uganda Christian University’s (UCU) School of Medicine (SoM) will this July celebrate the graduation of his pioneer students. Getting the SOM up and running was a lifetime achievement, and it gives him great joy to see his first students graduate.

Out of the total number of 20 first-year students from the bar course, at least nine had gone through the UCU’s law school. The rest, according to the list, are from across the universities.

One would say technology was his “thing,” but no. Even after mastering such a skill, Muchwa still felt like something was lacking. “It was all not satisfactory,” he said. He continued to figure out where his heart was.
