Inaugurated in February 1988 with 80 students, IUIU has grown into a reputable institution with over 40,000 graduates to date. The university is located in Mbale, approximately 240 km northeast of Kampala, and operates four campuses across Uganda, including the main Mbale Campus, Kibuli Campus, Kabojja Campus (females-only), and Arua Campus.
IUIU offers a wide range of programs at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. The university operates six core faculties: Islamic Studies and Arabic Language, Arts and Social Sciences, Management Studies, Education, Science, and Law. Programs include certificates, diplomas, bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD degrees, with a Centre for Postgraduate Studies coordinating advanced research and studies. Courses are delivered through Day, Evening, and Weekend schedules to accommodate working students. All programs are designed to provide theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and ethical grounding to prepare students for professional success.
IUIU encourages holistic student development through a variety of co-curricular activities. Students can engage in sports, arts, drama, politics, and cultural events, all aligned with the university’s Islamic ethos. Leadership development and community service programs are integrated into campus life to cultivate ethical and socially responsible graduates. The Kabojja Campus provides an exclusive environment for female students, offering additional mentorship and leadership opportunities tailored to women’s development.
The university provides residential facilities at the main Mbale Campus and Kabojja Campus, while the Kibuli and Arua campuses are non-residential. Students have access to well-equipped libraries, lecture halls, laboratories, and ICT services to support both academic and research needs. Sports and recreational facilities are available across campuses, supporting football, basketball, athletics, and other activities. Dedicated support services, including counseling, career guidance, and student welfare programs, ensure a safe and supportive environment for learning and personal development.
IUIU operates under the Islamic University in Uganda Act (Cap 131, Laws of Uganda) and was inaugurated by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in partnership with the Government of Uganda. The university’s vision is to be a centre of academic excellence providing knowledge and skills to serve humanity, rooted in Islamic values, while its mission focuses on accessible, high-quality education that fosters professional competence, ethical leadership, and community service.
