University of Eswatini

The University of Eswatini dates back to 1964 when the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini (UBBS) was established in Lesotho. When student numbers started to rise, the three countries agreed to split into independent national universities and so the University of Eswatini was founded in June 1982. 
Spanning across three campuses, the university offers a diverse range of academic programmes.
Its largest campus is situated in Matsapha, an industrial town home to numerous factories, warehouses and offices such as the Coca Cola concentration plant and Fashion International.
There are eight faculties on offer at the university: Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Commerce, Faculty of Consumer Sciences, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Science and Engineering, and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Each faculty is divided into different departments, which offer a wide range of degree programmes at both undergraduate and graduate level. 
One of the university’s main features is its commitment to preserving and promoting Swazi culture and heritage. Through initiatives such as cultural festivals, language courses, and community engagement programmes, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the traditions of Eswatini.
