African Rural University (ARU) is one of Uganda’s newest universities and the first all-women rural university in Africa. It is licensed by the National Council of Higher Education of Uganda.

ARU will create a pool of female leaders who are not only capable of participating in the socio-economic empowerment of the marginalized, but also of providing rigorous scientific input into the design and practice of rural development processes. ARU offers an integrated curriculum enhancing the understanding, both at the academic and practical level, that successful development is the result of the inter-relationship between economic, social, cultural and political development processes.

The African Rural University is a natural organic outgrowth from an aware and strengthened rural population, taking charge of its own development and generating information and knowledge that becomes the basis of the University’s research applied learning.
