Chief Patron’s Message

Our Royal Greetings!

Awareness has changed today’s world and the world is not the same as it was two decades before. Information Technology as a form of awareness has changed virtually our lives and way of living. To keep pace with the rapid evolution of the international environment, we have to prepare ourselves, we have to study the latest courses and we have to defend our nation from terrorism and unrestness by learning the latest techniques. We have to study courses that nourish our business environment; we have to move very fast, but, steadily to maintain the balance in our lives. We have bestowed our royal charter to The National University of Penal, Administrative And Security Sciences and have given it the status of the national university of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom so that the people of our kingdom, particularly, gain benefits to prepare themselves to serve the nation and the world in a befitting manner. We welcome you to our national university, where you will not only gain practical knowledge in your chosen field, but also learn to lead, and to serve humanity.

Blessings to you all.

His Majesty King Rukirabasaija Agutamba Solomon Gafabusa Iguru The First, The Forty-ninth Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara

Academic Excellence

Educational Experts say that alumni understand well and retain knowledge when they apply what they have learnt. It is truly said that “Practice makes a man perfect”. Keeping in view the “Rigour and Relevance” method in front, we do not rely only upon lecturing our students, we also provide our students with the optimal learning with “practice”.

We do not want students only to go to classroom to watch the teachers work while they enjoy with their colleagues. The UNIPASS’ Rigour and Relevance Framework has called the imagination and attention of teachers to aspire to teach students to high rigour and high relevance. Our educators use this formula to set their own standards of excellence as well as to plan the objectives they wish to achieve. This versatile framework applies to standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Our professors maintain a consistent level of rigor and relevance by combining curriculum objectives, develop instructions and test techniques so that the students reach the teacher’s expectations. At the same time, our professors design high-rigor instructional activities and use high-rigor assessment tool, so that the test should be an accurate measure of what students have learnt.
