We are one of the largest research universities in Africa, with seven highly regarded faculties that span the knowledge spectrum from classic academic fields to rapidly evolving new fields of study. We are home to Uganda’s best science school, Uganda’s best Faculty of Medicine, Law, and the Faculty of Agriculture and Environment. Our programmes are locally and globally relevant. Gulu University endeavours to create an environment that enables all students to maximise their own intellectual potential in their chosen field of study by providing a solid teaching and learning foundation that will lead our graduates to greater success in their careers, or light the spark of curiosity and discovery through further postgraduate specialisation and research. 

Our faculties are well-equipped with state-of-the-art research facilities, laboratories, academic libraries, skills development, and practical learning opportunities, and spaces to learn or study socially or individually. Our campuses are customised for their purposes so that our students, academic, and research staff always have the best possible resources at their disposal to enable their continued success.
