Lúrio University

Rounding out our list of Mozambique's best universities is Lúrio University (UUL). It often known as UniLúrio, is a public university that has quickly established itself and is playing an essential part in Mozambique's growth by offering training opportunities for the country's young. It was founded in 2006 by the Mozambican government in order to enhance higher education and research in the nation. UniLúrio includes three poles with four campuses and seven independent faculties located in Mozambique's three northern regions, namely Nampula, Cabo Delgado, and Niassa.

• Nampula province: Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Architecture and Physical Planning, Unilurio Business School;
• Cabo Delgado province: Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Natural Science;
• Niassa province: Faculty of Agriculture;
• Mozambique island (Nampula): Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities.

The university's objective is to "train a new generation of competent professionals dedicated to development, science, and the well-being of local communities," and its vision is to "offer higher education of excellence, quality, competitiveness, and worldwide recognition." UniLúrio provides degree programs in 35 primary topics and has a total enrollment of 3.130 students (2017), including undergraduate and graduate students. The university's goal is for 80 percent of its faculty lecturers to have a master's degree or higher, and the agreement is for 70 percent of lecturers to have master's degrees and 30 percent to have doctorates (UniLúrio, 2017).

Lúrio University collaborates with institutions throughout the world on a bilateral basis, ranging from student mobility and teaching partnerships to participation in research programs, networks, and research cooperation. The institution is devoted to strengthening international partnerships in order to create a collaborative educational and research agenda. Thus, under the initiative "one student, one family," UniLrio inked memorandums of understanding with universities abroad, where students, professors, and staff from both sides had the chance for academic exchange experience as well as short and long-term training programs.
