Located at Kakoba Hill, approximately 3.5 kilometres from Mbarara city center, BSU sits on a 48-hectare (120-acre) campus that provides a serene and conducive environment for learning. Established in 2002 and chartered in 2014, the university has rapidly grown into one of Uganda’s leading institutions of higher learning, ranked 10th nationally by Webometrics in 2020. BSU draws on its Anglican heritage to integrate Christian values with academic excellence, fostering graduates who are both competent and morally grounded.

The university comprises five faculties: Faculty of Business, Economics, and Governance; Faculty of Agriculture, Environmental Sciences and Technology; Faculty of Health Sciences; Faculty of Education, Arts and Media Studies; and Faculty of Law. Each faculty houses multiple departments covering disciplines such as social work, business, public administration, agriculture, computing, nursing, languages, media studies, and law. All programs are accredited by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) and are designed to equip students with critical thinking, leadership, entrepreneurship, and professional skills tailored to address real-world challenges.
BSU emphasizes holistic student development beyond academics. Students are encouraged to participate in cultural, social, and professional activities that enhance leadership, innovation, and community engagement. Through clubs, societies, sports, debate forums, and entrepreneurship initiatives, learners cultivate teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The university also organizes workshops, short courses, and outreach programs that promote Christian values, integrity, and ethical leadership, ensuring students are well-prepared to contribute positively to society.

Specialized facilities include health science labs, computing and IT labs, agricultural research plots, and media studios.
