National University of Rwanda Mission
To provide teaching at a higher level
The main task of the National University of Rwanda is to convey scientific
knowledge to its students in a way that new ideas may come out and professional
aptitude be acquired.
To organize scientific research
Research activities at the National University of Rwanda comprise all creative
works undertaken in a systematic way in order to increase scientific and
technological knowledge, including the knowledge of man, culture and society,
also making good use of that knowledge in new situations.
The scientific research at University level is not only lecturers and researchers'
affair but also that of students in license and doctorate, as it is inscribed in their
final papers (dissertations, doctorate and specialization theses). In this way, the
development of scientific research contributes to the improvement and the
strengthening of education structure.
To provide service to the community
This task works hand in hand with the two mentioned above. Our University is
aware that its credibility lies in the need of serving the community where it
originates. By providing knowledge and know-how to the community, the
National University of Rwanda contributes to the full development through its
various and adequate services to the needs of local population.
To promote culture
The three tasks mentioned above are means, which enable the National University
of Rwanda to participate to the enrichment and promotion of culture. Culture
comprises both traditional and modern aspects by the fact that it increases
technological and scientific knowledge in such domains as Sciences, Technology,
Arts, etc…
This enrichment enhances a better understanding of relationships between man
and his natural, physical, social and human environment. It also contributes to the
improvement of this environment for the benefit of man and society. To promote
culture in Rwanda means also to call upon respect of human rights and good
governance in order to contribute to building a more human Rwandan society.
