I am a Computer Science Student from Zambia and have been in Umma University for more than a year and I can say, my experience as an international student has generally been very positive.

What impresses me about Umma is the high quality education system, the efficiently operating administration, beautiful and modern infrastructure, over and above all, am in love with the university environment; very serene and inspiring.

Umma university offers an ideal multicultural environment. I have been able to socialize with many other international classmates and expanded my social network through several students’ groups via WhatsApp and physical contact groups through which we often fun organize events and activities.
