Welcome to Kigali Independent University

Prof. Dr. Rwigamba Balinda.
Founder & President-ULK

I welcome you all to Kigali Independent University ULK, the university whose inception goes back to 1996. I decided to open this university when I realized that Rwandans and the world at large needed a place that provided an extraordinary education. To this end, I began to put the necessities in place to erect one of the best higher learning institutions in the nation. Like any other forward-looking entrepreneur, I pursued this goal with a strong vision in mind. By design, ULK is a university in the heart of Africa that is committed to educational excellence, it attracts highly motivated students and highly qualified personnel who are endowed with strong ethical values that will enable them to lead and catalyze the nation’s development.
ULK helps young men and women from various parts of the world earn world-class degrees in various fields of specialization. Year in and year out, a considerable number of our graduates obtain excellent jobs in the marketplace. The reason is clear: They choose specializations that companies demand. But, more importantly, our students are trained to become job creators through various lessons in management and entrepreneurship. As a result, graduates who do not wish to work for others are well prepared to create their own businesses using the skills and knowledge they obtained from our university.
