[edit] Location
The school's campus is located at 118 Portbell Road, in Nakawa, a section of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The coordinates of the school are: 00° 19' 38"N, 32° 37' 00"S (Latitude:0.327222, Longitude:32.616667)
[edit] History
MUBS was initially established in the 1960's as Nakawa College of Business Studies (NCBS), the national college of business studies. It offered business and management diplomas as well as professional training in business. At that time, the college offered diplomas, the main ones being the Uganda Diploma in Business Studies and the Higher Diploma in Marketing.
In 1998, the decision was made to merge the Faculty of Commerce at Makerere University with NCBS, thereby creating MUBS, a constituent college of Makerere University. The staffs and students of both institutions were brought together at the 45 acres (18 ha) campus at Nakawa, approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi), east of Kampala's central business district.
In 2001, due to changes in the laws of Uganda, MUBS transformed from being a constituent college of Makerere University to a "public tertiary institution" affiliated to Makerere University. However this arrangement did not work well, resulting in Makerere introducing competing duplicate courses at the main campus, while MUBS started to agitate for complete autonomy. Finaly in 2012, the autonomy sought by MUBS was finally granted by the Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports.[3]
[edit] Autonomy
In January 2012, Ugandan media reported that effective August 2012, MUBS will break away from Makerere University and reconstitute itself into an independent university. This will result in the change of its name to a new name, yet to be determined.[4]
