Makerere University Kampala (MUK) (/məˈkɜrərɪ/ mə-KAIR-uh-ree) is Uganda's largest and third-oldest institution of higher learning, first established as a technical school in 1922 (the oldest is Katigondo National Major Seminary in Masaka District, which was established in 1911; and Bishop Tucker Theological College, which was established in 1913), and is now part of Uganda Christian University. In 1963, it became the University of East Africa, offering courses leading to general degrees from the University of London. It became an independent national university in 1970 when the University of East Africa was split into three independent universities: University of Nairobi (Kenya), University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), and Makerere University.
