SchChat - School | University of Kindu

Descriptions

The University of Kindu, one of the first four large Official Universities of the Democratic Republic of Congo, was created in 1993 by Ministerial Order N ° ESU / CABMIN / 0066/93 of June 17, 1993 of the Minister of Higher and University Education. The creation of this young Institution, originally called the University Center of Maniema, took place during the spin-off of Higher Education, University and Scientific Research Institutions in Zaire and which later qualified as unsustainable by the Ministry's commission. Supervisory Authority, will be closed in 1994 by Order N ° ESURS / CABMIN / 008/94 of 04 November 1994 canceling all previous orders relating to the creation of new ESURS Establishments. Having become the University Center of Maniema, the latter will function as a private center until 1997. Due to a lack of infrastructure, the University Center of Maniema, which will change its name in 1997 and will become the University Center of Kindu and whose academic supervision will be donated to the University of Lubumbashi, will operate in the hangar of the former SEDEC Company (COHYDRO) until the construction of new buildings by the Government of the Republic, whose inaugural ceremony will take place in 2011. Since its creation, two faculties, notably the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Law, which only organize the first cycle, have functioned within this university institution. These faculties will be supplemented in 2002 by the faculty of social, political and administrative sciences, which, three years later, will be followed by the faculties of agricultural sciences and economics and management.
