Welcome to University of Gondar Ethiopia

With a fast-growing economy on the road towards global integration, Ethiopia is in urgent need of more and more young and well-trained talents of high educational standards to be the driving force of our national advancement goals.

The University of Gondar is located 65 kms North from Lake Tana where the Blue Nile starts, Gondar-Ethiopia. It is the largest and most distinguished university in Ethiopia. it was founded in 1954 as Public Health Training College, then the first of its kind in the country. In 2004, including other facilities, it has become a full privileged University level.

Currently we have six facilities with 11,000 regular and 5,000 extension students. Students are distributed in 35 undergraduate and 8 graduate programs.

The University of Gondar, as a national University corporation supported by the Ethiopian Government, is committed to fulfilling its public responsibility through academic research and by fostering new talent, thus providing a reliable compass to the future. it goes without saying that the problems we face today and in our daily lives exist within the context of our mutual relations with other countries

We have a tradition of providing an outstanding medical education to prospective physicians and health team graduates. To ensure that the University maintains its reputation as being the center of excellence in health, Biotechnology, and Tourism, this commitment guarantees highly capable graduates for the benefit of our country.

The University of Gondar endeavors to provide society with a high quality of human resources through its innovative academic and research programs. It has ensured its relevance in the international arena by forging reciprocal agreements with over 20 universities in 10 countries, to allow strengthening academic, research and experience sharing by exchanging of students and visiting professors.

I believe that through the creation of knowledge, through education and through close association with society, now more than ever is the time in which the university of Gondar must fulfill its public responsibility towards the future of Ethiopia and of the world. As a  cornerstone of human knowledge, the University of Gondar, with its abundant conceptual powers, is determined to forge ahead on the pathway to that future.
