Unity University is the first privately owned institute of higher learning to be awarded full-fledged university status in Ethiopia by the Ministry of Education. It is also the first private university in the country to offer postgraduate programs leading to master’s degree in business administration (MBA) and development economics (MA).

History

Established in 1991, Unity language school was offering English, Arabic, French and Italian language courses. It started with not more than 50 students, a few part-time teachers and administration personnel.

Progressively, the institute launched

diploma programs in accounting,

marketing, business, personnel

administration, secretarial science and

office management from 1997 to

1999.

In March 1998 the institute was

upgraded to a college level,following its

achievements in education, becoming

the first privately owned college in

Ethiopia.[2] Through

the years, the institute has played a

pioneering role in providing quality

education, setting a fine record. Later

named Unity College, the institute has

promoted innovative approaches and

launched degree programs in various

disciplines.

Unity was promoted to university level

in September 2008, becoming the first

privately owned university. It has since

been known as Unity University,(U.U.).

Role

In addition to its educational role, the university encourages research and holds annual multi-disciplinary conferences. The proceedings of these conferences are published in its academic journal, The Ethiopian Journal of Business and Development.

Unity University is also very active in community service programs. It is involved in activities related to environmental protection, and has participated in the "Clean and Green Addis Ababa" initiative, and in other programs sponsored by the city council and chamber of commerce of Addis Ababa, such as HIV and AIDS awareness and prevention.

The university offers scholarships to students with financial difficulties, including a girls’ project, which extends assistance to deserving female students who lack financial resources. It also gives scholarships to its own staff who wish to upgrade their academic status, and to students with outstanding records in sports and other cultural activities. now
