Over 11,000 students from Kyambogo University are set to graduate in various disciplines during the institution’s 20th graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n
Addressing journalists at the university offices on Wednesday, Vice Chancellor Professor Eli Katunguka revealed that a total of 11,721 students, including 6,017 females and 5,704 males, will graduate during the four-day ceremony at the main campus in Banda, Kampala.<\/p>\n
The four-day ceremony will commence on December 10th and conclude on the 13th at the institution’s main campus.<\/p>\n
Unlike previous years when the event was held over three days, Professor Katunguka explained that this year’s ceremony will extend to four days due to the increased number of graduands.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, the university graduated 10,926 graduates. This year, the numbers have risen by 795. We are deviating from our normal practice of a three-day graduation because of the large number of students. We do not want to keep parents waiting until late as we did previously,” he said.<\/p>\n
The university will confer at least eight PhDs and 219 master’s degrees in various fields.<\/p>\n
Professor Katunguka noted an increase in the number of students graduating with PhDs and master’s degrees at the institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
