OCTOBER INTAKE INCREASES POPULATION AT UPU By: Edwin Murunga and Tiziana Gori


Almost three years down the line, UPU has had a steady intake every academic year with the number increasing gradually. This academic year, 2010-2011 that begun in October, the University has received more than seven Hundred and fifty students and the number is still rising. Despite this response from the interested students, the university is very keen on avoiding overcrowding which is a great threat to social amenities and infrastructure to the school. This has forced the school administration to halt new students’ admission. The university has also put into the consideration the lecturer-students ratio which must remain balanced for the good quality of education.

With this increment in population which triples every academic year , the three main Uganda Pentecostal university branches (Kampala, Kamwenge and Kahungabunyonyi ) is experiencing congestion and therefore  the university is constructing the forth branch campus in Kasusu town center 7 km along Fort-portal-Kasese road. The construction is expected to be due in March 2011 with all facilities ready.
