Our training emphasizes hands-on skills development based on strong scientific background, entrepreneurial mentality, and strong attitude for sustainable use of natural recourses and clean environment. The graduates have diverse employment opportunities ranging from own micro agri-enterprises, financial institutions, government agencies, the private sector, and national and international development agencies.
The Faculty is aggressively involved in outreach and has partnered with several agencies to extend agro-technologies to the community in northern Uganda and beyond. Our “student-Centered Outreach” programme is of particular significance. Under this programme the students are attached to farmers, and in that way, both the student and the farmer learn from each other, thus providing extension service to the farmer as well as inputs for curriculum improvement. In addition, the students are exposed to the realities of agriculture in the rural setting. In order to enhance its capacity for outreach and non-academic skills training to the community, the Faculty intends to establish a Technology Development and Incubation Centre, which will act as a regional hub for community agricultural empowerment.
