National Council for Higher Education

Accreditation of University Programmes

Foreword

The National Council for Higher Education, in its meeting of 21st September 2007, approved a series of university programmes. They received a provisional accreditation valid for one year. Any new programme introduced after this date will require accreditation from the National Council for Higher Education to be a valid university qualification in Uganda. The university will receive the “Minimum requirements” for university programmes and will be required to adjust its own programmes to these minimum requirements within the year so that we then have the “minimum standards” as required by law. In September 2008 the NCHE will conduct a survey at each university to verify if the adjustments have been made and to verify the staff attached to each programme as well as the course outlines. In the affirmative the secretariat will propose to Council that the programmes be accredited for a period of five years.

This provisional accreditation was extended by Council for one year until 26th September 2009.

All new programmes proposed after 21st September 2007 need to be accredited by the National Council for Higher Education before they can be taught as courses leading to a legally recognized university qualification in Uganda.

New licensed institutions are noted with the date of licensing. New accredited programmes also carry their date of accreditation.

Any programme offered which does not appear in this register is deemed to be offered illegally and all certificates, diplomas or degrees resulting thereof shall be deemed invalid in Uganda.
