At Kabale University (KAB), our vision is to be a sustainable, vibrant university of academic excellence in the Great Lakes Region and beyond. Located on the serene Kikungiri Hill in South Western Uganda, KAB offers a cool, calm environment ideal for studying, researching, and academic growth. As a rapidly growing public institution, the university hosts a diverse community of students and staff from across East Africa and the global landscape.
The International Office serves as the central hub for our global community, fostering cross-cultural collaboration and international integration. Our office is not limited to student affairs; we cater broadly to visiting scholars, international researchers, and students participating in international exchange programmes.
Please note: The Office of the Vice Chancellor directly handles all institutional international partnership matters, global agreements, and memorandum of understanding (MoU) signing.
