Equator University of Science and Technology (EQUSaT) is a private-not-for-profit University and a higher education institution accredited by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE). EQUSaT offers a wide range of academic programmes, training, education and skilling and a unique study and work environment in Uganda, the East African Region and beyond.
At EQUSaT, we ensure delivery of quality higher education through teaching, learning, research, innovation, collaborations and partnerships, and community engagement and advancing the national science and technology agenda. EQUSaT prioritizes Science, Technology and Innovations to drive its strategic plan, and promotes multidisciplinary approaches in its academic, research and innovation agenda, hence the justification of the immediate future launch of humanities, social sciences, liberal arts and related fields of specialization.
The state-of-the-art facilities, integration of disruptive technologies, dynamic and robust academic, administrative and governance systems, coupled with efficient and effective practices, make EQUSaT stand out as a unique University and institution of higher learning.
EQUSaT is located along Kasijjagirwa Road, Kasijjagirwa Cell, Masaka City, near Masaka Regional Referral Hospital, Central Uganda. We derive the University name from its proximity to the international Equator line, the invisible line that runs around the centre of the earth at zero degrees latitude. The University is also proximal to very many touristic sites and places of leisure, a beautiful green landscape and a rich agricultural area. Masaka City is clean, peaceful and thrives in diverse businesses and other economic activities.
One of the landmarks of the City is Masaka Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) with which EQUSaT has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU is a tripartite arrangement signed between MRRH (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uganda), University of Lahore, Pakistan and EQUSaT. One of the aims of the MOU is to establish a state-of-the-Art Ultra-Modern Diagnostic Centre as part of the expansion of the health services delivery by the MRRH.
Through this partnership, EQUSaT now hosts a modern dental clinic on behalf of the MRRH, as a service delivery unit and training facility covering greater Masaka region and beyond.
To enhance Human Capacity and Potential through Teaching, Research, and Innovation with National, Regional and International Collaborations.
