What People Say About Us
Baryamujura Ahmed
Guild President - 2024/25
My university experience has been enriching, marked by diverse cultures that foster collaboration and broaden my perspective. The use of cutting-edge technology enhances my learning, empowering me to contribute meaningfully to our vibrant campus community.
Justine Nassaazi
Student - Bachelors of Information Technology-2024/25
My university experience has been transformative, fostering personal growth through remarkable friendships and hands-on learning opportunities, like making liquid soap. Additionally, the diverse environment and dedicated lecturers have enhanced my communication skills and confidence, significantly improving my fluency in English while expanding my worldview.
Ndagire Hafswa Mbuga
Guild Vice President - 2024/25
As the Former Vice Guild President, I have found my experience at this university to be rewarding and enlightening, surrounded by a talented and diverse community that fosters growth. Despite challenges, the resilience of our students inspires me, and I am committed to collaborating with both students and administration to maximise our time here.
Abdulmajeed Alkali Haruna
Minister of international student affairs 2025/26
As the
minister of international student affairs
, my experience at Equator University of Science and Technology has been amazing. The learning environment is good and well-equipped and supportive, with great teaching and dedicated staff. As an international student, I’ve enjoyed connecting with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. The university has truly helped me grow academically and personally. I’m proud to be part of this institution and I absolutely love it.
Ayebale Kule Waire Applus.
Student 2025/26 MBChB Year 1
My journey began with the ambition of joining a university close to my businesses and residence, for easier supervision and home support.
Stepping into
EQUSaT
Medical School felt like entering a new world, filled with excitement at how good the learning environment is. This immediately drew me closer to and more focused on the primary reasons I had for choosing
EQUSaT
. I received a warm welcome, and the orientation guidelines made me reflect deeply on the beauty of the course and how much preparedness it requires.
However, some information shared was rather frightening, especially regarding how mountainous the journey ahead could be. A lot of worries arose when we thought about two things:
The amount of time and concentration required for our books and the burden of tuition fees, which can be troublesome to raise while balancing the time needed in class.
It was said, “The University will never allow you to sit for exams if you haven’t reached their required percentage of fees or completed the total balance.” This left me worried, because money is seasonal and our businesses are not always reliable. But as the saying goes, “Zibula Atudde,” we shall keep pushing until our last breath.
Despite these challenges, our goal is to persevere and achieve this important milestone in education, and I believe we shall succeed.
Lastly, I still recall the guided tour we had on Friday, 15th August 2025. It was wonderful, though full of ironies. We got lost in a very large plot of land in Bajja, searching for a route to take us to “Eden”, a promised garden said to be full of fruits. Everyone walked to the point of exhaustion, trying to reach this “promised land.” Unfortunately, just like the children of Israel who walked endlessly without reaching their promised land, we too could not make it. But unlike them, we decided not to die in the desert. Instead, we retraced our steps, found where the Costa was waiting, and made it back to campus safely.
In brief, we know there are challenges ahead. The road is not easy. Long study hours, complex concepts, and high expectations can be daunting. Balancing academics with personal life will always be a juggling act. Yet, with each challenge, we must remain resilient and focused.
In conclusion:
Being a medical student is a transformative experience. It shapes not only your knowledge but also your character. It is a journey of empathy, resilience, and dedication. Together, and with the support of the University and the community, we shall endure and succeed.

Student 2025/26 MBChB Year 1
My time at
Equator University of Science and technology
while not long has given me a glimpse into the life I'm to experience in the years to come. A life filled with kind and polite individuals that share more than we hoped for coming into a university, sharing not only educational aspects but day to day aspects as well through tales that make you question your life in the best possible ways and occasionally breakout in fits of laughter.
I came to Equator University looking for exclusively an education and ended up with a large family of friends and staff that have guided and offered support throughout my stay here at each and every turn.
Sharif Ssongendo
Guild President 2025/26
Equator University is more than just a campus,
it’s
a family. Here, every student is given the space to discover their potential, the courage to dream bigger, and the support to turn those dreams into reality. What makes our university special is not only the knowledge shared in classrooms, but also the friendships, opportunities, and experiences that shape us into well-rounded individuals. As Guild President, I am grateful to be part of a community that
truly believes
in nurturing leaders, changemakers, and visionaries of tomorrow

Kuganja Ethan
Class Representative - MBChB 1 2025/26
When I first joined Equator University of Science and Technology, I didn’t know what to expect, but it has exceeded all my expectations. The world-class facilities, fully equipped labs, and extensive library resources make learning exciting and effective. What truly stands out is the supportive and approachable lecturers who make education inspiring. This environment motivated me to serve as Class Representative for the Year One MBChB class alongside Inkindi Dorcus. EQUSaT is more than a university it’s a community that helps you dream bigger, grow, and belong. I’m proud to be part of it.
Mugera Godfrey
Student 2025/26 MBChB Year 1
With a strong desire to gain medical knowledge and skills, I have found Equator University of Science and Technology to be everything I was searching for. The presence of highly knowledgeable lecturers who explain concepts in detail has made my course much easier to understand. The well-stocked library and a conducive learning environment further support my academic growth. Life at EQUSaT is steadily progressing, and I am confident that I am on the right path to achieving my goals.
Nalwanga Noelina
Student 2025/26 MBChB Year 1
As I prepared to join university, I was anxious about stepping into a new world. Having spent over five years in the medical field, I thought it would be easy until I saw an 8:00 am lecture, my usual waking time! My warm first visit made me expect a bed of roses, but reality was different. Competent, parental lecturers, a great environment, a fully equipped library, and supportive course mates eased my worries until a 6:00 pm lecture arrived. Balancing school, parenting, and work is challenging, but with faith, nothing is impossible. I’m here to grow and achieve more.
