- About Dr. Asrat Atsedeweyn
Welcome to the University of Gondar (UoG), and thank you for taking the time to learn more about us.
I am deeply honored and privileged to serve as the President of UoG, and I am enthusiastic about working with the faculty, staff, and students at this outstanding and diverse institution. I approach my role with a sense of stewardship and am excited to be part of the UoG community, which is dedicated, caring, and focused on excellence. Our University has dedicated faculty and staff, visionary leadership, disciplined students with inquisitive minds, and a community that recognizes us as a vital educational, economic, and cultural resource for our country and the world.
UoG has implemented various methods to ensure the quality of education in all academic programs, enabling our students to gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes that prepare them to live and work in a multicultural national and global world. Our recent accomplishments demonstrate that UoG is truly on the rise. We intend to maintain this positive momentum as we strive for more successes and even higher national prominence and international alliances. While we are proud of our achievements thus far, our vision is to be the leading institution in solving societal problems in the country, with a continued aspiration to go even further.
The expansion and enrollment rates at the University of Gondar are rapidly increasing. We have over 100,000 alumni working within and outside the country, contributing to the higher demand for the country’s socio-economic growth and development. Currently, we have over 48,300 students (2021) enrolled in 87 undergraduate degrees, 227 master’s degrees, 82 PhD programs, and 8 subspecialty programs. We are committed to finding ways to invest in programs, services, technology, and educational infrastructure to further enhance student graduation and success, in line with national demand. We employ the latest technologies for effective delivery, and our curricula emphasize a practice-oriented approach throughout our programs.
Consistent communication with faculty, staff, students, community members, and partners, along with a steadfast focus on what is best for our staff and students, are key principles that guide my tenure as President. I warmly welcome you to visit our campus and interact with our students, faculty, and staff to learn more about the University and our activities.
Thank you for your interest in the University of Gondar. We look forward to welcoming you on campus.
