ISBAT University (ISBAT), whose complete name is International Business, Science And Technology University, is a chartered university in Uganda.[3]
History
[edit]The university was established in 2005 as a post-secondary (tertiary) institution of education, that was affiliated with Sikkim Manipal University of India. At that time all courses and academic courses belonged to and were awarded by the Indian university.[4]
In 2013 ISBAT began awarding its own degrees and changed its classification to "Other Degree Awarding Institution" (ODAI). In 2015, the university moved to its present campus off of Lugogo Bypass Road. In 2016, ISBAT was elevated to a full university, having met the requirements of the Uganda National Council for Higher Education (UNCHE).[4] On 18 November 2019, the university acquired charter status from the UNCHE.[5]
