Welcome to the UCU School of Medicine, a ground-breaking institution driven by a vision to redefine medical education in Uganda. Established as a response to the growing demand for science programs and the aspiration to elevate the profile of Uganda Christian University (UCU), our medical school aims to set new standards in healthcare education, research, and practice.
What sets the UCU School of Medicine apart from other institutions is our commitment to producing a new generation of healthcare professionals with a unique combination of qualities. Building upon UCU’s established reputation for nurturing individuals with integrity, critical thinking skills, and independent judgment, we emphasize a Christian perspective throughout our education programs. This distinctive approach ensures that our graduates embody strong ethical values and moral principles, making them exceptional healthcare providers in Uganda and beyond.
This rigorous program equips students with a comprehensive understanding of the human body, diseases, diagnostic techniques, and medical treatments. Throughout the course, students gain theoretical knowledge through lectures, practical experience through clinical rotations, and develop essential clinical skills.
I was attracted to UCU because of its Christian moral foundation. I think that is partly why I have never heard of UCU students rioting…you study when you are peaceful, without fear of waking up one day to damaged or lost property from a student strike.
I came to UCU because they offer professional, Christian education to medical trainees: I hope to become a cardiac surgeon — a specialist in surgeries on the heart, lungs and other chest organs, as well as one who diagnoses and treats the same organs.
UCU has a well-stocked laboratory that has made it easy for me to explore more aspects of the medical field: I hope to attain the necessary professional skills that will enable me to save the lives of our people in society for therein lies my happiness.
I thank God for not only allowing me to acquire professional education here but also for giving me the opportunity to be a student leader and serve the UCU community.
UCU has provided quality services to us. As students, we feel we are getting value for our tuition; we are taught by some of the best practitioners in the medical field, and groomed to be high-quality professionals who are exceptional and holistic.
