Ministry of Education

Expression of interest is sought from senior academics with substantial administrative experience in an established University for the following positions of the new University of Rwanda.
  • Deputy Vice chancellor in charge of Academic and Research affairs.
  •  Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Finance, Administration and Human Resources
  •  Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Institutional Advancement.

As Rwanda’s economy has grown at an average of 7.4% over 10 years, the number of higher education students, standing at 2.500 just 19 years ago, has risen to 76,000 today.

Half of these are in the publicly funded higher learning institutions.

Now the government is in the process of establishing a single new university which will be a merger of the seven existing higher learning institutions. It will be composed of six colleges.

The overarching aim of establishing the University of Rwanda is to transform the public higher education system, to improve the quality and efficiency of teaching, learning and research, and in the process, to create a world-class university.

The goals and objectives set out in the national plan are to increase access, promote equity, and
ensure institutional diversity while promoting high-level research capacity.

Quality higher education is essential to provide support for Rwanda’s economic transformation, and to attract and retain top quality personal.
