Reviews by our alumni to help you pick

  • “I was fascinated to see people go in a place sick and come out well, I was surprised that somebody could identify your problem and help you get better…By the time I  was in secondary school, I was looking for a profession where I could do that.” 
    Dr. Elizabeth Namukombe Ekong
  • “I had always wanted to pursue a course at UCU. It offers a unique experience which sets one apart,” she said. “They offer foundational course units, such as writing and study skills, which give us an upper hand at the work place.”

    Uwimbabazi Sarah

    Veronica Rachael Nakkonde
