INFORMATION PLATFORM FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
You are warmly welcome to the Mulungushi University page and may I hasten to thank you for finding time to read through this page. At this juncture, allow me to inform you that Mulungushi University is the third public university in Zambia which came onto the Zambian higher education scene in 2008. Since then, it has grown in leaps and bounds and it is today recognized as one of the famous Universities both at home and abroad.
At Mulungushi University, we pride ourselves on our RARE (Responsible, Accountable, Relevant, Ethical) value system which makes us indeed a RARE university. Arising from this unique RARE value system, we put a high premium on producing graduates of high moral standing; that value humanity and that has respect for public resources, that is corrupt-free, and that are morally upright. And in order to inculcate these attributes into our students, we have a signature course that is mandatory for all our students as they enter their first year called “Sustainable Behaviour in Society”
Dear prospective students and sponsors, may I disclose to you that due to our industry-tailored programmes, graduates of Mulungushi University are the most sought by the industry. This will be the case even for you if you chose to study with us.
Other reasons why you should study with us are as follows:
- We have a well-stocked Library
- We offer furnished hostels
- We have a serene environment conducive to learning and teaching away from the hustle and bustle of town
- We have highly qualified and experienced academic and administrative staff to attend to all your needs and queries.
To buttress it up, Zambia is a very peaceful and friendly country and Mulungushi University will make you feel at home away from home.
I personally had opportunities to study both in Zambia and at international universities. I remember my own days studying abroad when I was a graduate student. I am still grateful for the opportunity to
have spent time living in another country, rather than merely passing through as a visitor. I not only learned a great deal about other cultures, but I also learned a lot about myself and about my abilities. Congratulations on choosing to push yourself in pursuit of that kind of experience. I, therefore, wish you the best as you go through our website and try to pick the programme of your choice. Please, do so!
