UGANDA Christian University (UCU) is to increase its admission from last year’s 3100 to 3,800 students in the 2005/06 academic year, Prof. Steven Noll, the vice-chancellor, has said.
He said the university had invested over sh3.9b in building more lecture rooms, dining halls and residence halls to match the increase, ahead of the September admission.
Noll said UCU had been invited to negotiate a US$450,000 grant with USAID under the American schools and hospitals abroad programmes.
He said, “This grant will be used to construct a second residence hall for 180 students.â€
In a statement recently, Noll added “Over 100,000 students are expected to study in universities next year. This is an achievement to celebrate, but enrolment is still far below the world average.â€
