The National Council for Higher Education at its 66th sitting of 22nd August, 2022 approved the affiliation between Uganda Technology And Management University (UTAMU) and Mbarara University of Science and Technology for the running of the above PhD programmes. The PhD programmes are a joint institutional capacity building programme between UTAMU and MUST intended to address the educational gaps at doctoral level in the East African Region and beyond.
Each PhD programme will involve intensive research and publications in internationally accredited refereed journals. Before graduation, each PhD student under the guidance of his/ her supervisor(s) is expected to publish at least two articles in accredited journals. A list of accredited journals will be availed to the admitted candidates and supervisors.
Coursework, remedial seminars, workshops and academic paper writing colloquia will be embedded in each PhD programme. This is expected to guide the students on the expectations and the volume of doctoral education for a 21st century researcher.
