Welcome to

MUTEESA I ROYAL UNIVERSITY

The establishment of Muteesa I Royal University (MRU) was both inspired and motivated by Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi II, with strong support from the Executive Committee of the Buganda Kingdom, led by the Katikkiro. The foundational groundwork was undertaken by the Buganda University Task Force (BUTF), which was inaugurated by the Katikkiro on 8th June 2004 and submitted its final report on 2nd December 2004.
Muteesa I Royal University is a chartered university named in honour of Kabaka Muteesa I of Buganda (1856–1884), a visionary monarch whose invitation to Christian missionaries—expressed in a letter to Queen Victoria of England—is widely regarded as the genesis of modern formal education in Uganda.
