Above the MUST the sky is blue

Where Excellence Reigns

     30 kilometers to the South-East of Blantyre, against the backdrop of the picturesque Mikolongwe mountain, Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) placed its buildings.

     The University is located in Thyolo, a tea district in the Southern Malawi, 24 kilometers to the North of Thyolo BOMA, near Ndata Farm.

     The Ndata Farm is the farm owned by His Excellency Professor Bingu wa Mutharika, former President of Malawi. His Excellency offered free of charge the territory of his farm, very close to his mansion, to build this magnificent University.

     The University was built with the financial support of the Chinese government. Bingu Mutarika laid the first stone into the foundation of the University in the spring of 2011. Officially, the University was opened on October 24, 2014. It is the fourth University in Malawi.

     The motto of the University is "Where Excellence Reigns".

     There are 5 schools in the University:

     Malawi Institute of Technology (MIT);
   Ndata School of Climate and Earth Sciences;
   Academy of Medical Sciences;
   Bingu School of African Culture and Heritage;
     School of Information Technology.

     The University is designed for simultaneous training of 3,000 students. Now the University works at half its capacity - in 2018 the number of students is 1,300. There are 200 teachers and other permanent staff here.

     You can reach the University from Blantyre, along the Robert Mugabe (M4) highway, then along the Malowa-Goliati Road (S150). Also minibuses shattle from Limbe (Blantyre) to the University.
