Diploma in Ginning Engineering

The Diploma in Ginning Engineering will churn out middle level products who will be very relevant in the ginning industry. It is hoped that this programme will boost the production of quality cotton for local and international consumption.  It is a precursor to the Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering programme which is already developed and planned to be mounted in due course.

This programme will help to reactivate interest in the cotton industry which is very vital for the development of Uganda.
It will produce technicians who will be able to add value to cotton products for the local market and for export and thus improve on the competitiveness of Uganda’s cotton sector on the international market, produce ginning engineering graduates with diplomas, capable of meeting the challenges facing Uganda’s cotton industry.

The programme shall emphasize hands-on training in order to produce a skilled Ginning Engineering graduate with wide knowledge of basic sciences in Mechanical, Electrical, Agricultural and Civil Engineering.

Diploma in Agricultural Engineering

Diploma in Agricultural Engineering is one of the programmes which were being offered by the former college of Agricultural Mechanization Busitema. However, because of the uniqueness of the programme and in view of the fact that it is not offered elsewhere, the University reviewed to the required standards.

It is hoped that the programme will produce middle level cadre of technical staff needed in the Agricultural Mechanization industry. The programme is linked to the Bachelor of Agricultural and Irrigation Engineering degree programme.
