Gulu University

Gulu University is one of the best public universities in Uganda. It offered many courses ranging from medicines, agriculture, business,IT and others. It's enriched with so many lecturers and professors who are very good in research and lecturing. However the university faces several challenges like poor infrastructures, low students enrollment in some courses and poor students welfare. I highly recommend Gulu University to any student.
