Overview

Universidade Zambeze (UniZambeze) is a public university established in 2009 in central Mozambique, serving the Zambezia province and surrounding regions. Named after Africa’s iconic Zambezi River, the university focuses on sustainable development, agriculture, and teacher education to address the specific needs of Mozambique’s central region. With its main campus in Quelimane and additional locations in Mocuba and Gurue, UniZambeze plays a crucial role in developing human capital for one of Mozambique’s most populous areas.
