The concept of a Catholic University in Uganda dates back as far as the nineteen fourties, when the late Archbishop Joseph Kiwanuka conceived the idea. Unfortunately, various circumstances impeded the foundation of a university at that time.

The vision of Uganda Martyrs University is derived from the Christian understanding of the person. It is committed to the development of each individual through education at all levels, stressing in particular the creation of an environment where intellectual and moral values are priorities.
