President of the University Speech

Esteemed professors, distinguished members of the academic staff, respected parents, and our current and prospective students—welcome to this new phase in the University’s continued development, by the will of God.

The University of Science and Technology (UST) was established through dedication, perseverance, and a firm commitment to achieving both attainable and ambitious goals. Since its founding, the University has steadily built a strong reputation across a range of disciplines, including Medical Sciences, Engineering, Management, Computer Science, and Information Technology. In recent years, UST has proudly welcomed more than 18,000 students from diverse academic backgrounds and from various parts of the world. The University remains firmly committed to the principles of equality and inclusivity, ensuring that admission is accessible to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion.

Over time, UST has evolved into one of the leading model universities in Sudan and the wider Arab region. As an institution deeply rooted in and responsive to societal needs, it supports its academic, medical, and engineering sectors through well-established facilities, including advanced laboratories and teaching hospitals. Among these are the Dentistry Charity Hospital, Takana/Buluk Teaching Hospital, Takana/Alnaw Hospital, and Royal Care Hospital, which collectively serve more than 2,000 visitors on a daily basis.

Through sustained effort and continuous development, the University has established strong external relations and has attained full and permanent membership in Sudanese, Arab, African, and international university associations. These partnerships reflect UST’s commitment to academic excellence and global engagement.

The University places significant emphasis on postgraduate studies and scientific research, recognizing their vital role in advancing society and enhancing human welfare. This commitment is further demonstrated by the distinguished performance of its graduates in postgraduate programs at other reputable universities.

The Faculty of Postgraduate Studies and Academic Promotions plays a central role in shaping the University’s academic direction and strengthening its scholarly standing, particularly through the expansion of Master’s (MSc) and Doctoral (PhD) programs across various faculties.

Furthermore, the University operates multiple specialized centers that support both its academic mission and community services. It is also home to one of the largest campuses of its kind, offering extensive facilities and resources. The campus is designed to be accessible and inclusive, enabling the University to serve a broad and diverse community effectively.
