Overview<\/h2>\n

Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) is Mozambique’s oldest and one of its most established higher education institutions, founded in 1962 in Maputo. Named after Eduardo Mondlane, a key figure in the Mozambican liberation movement, the university has grown into the country’s leading hub for academic excellence, research, and technology-focused training. Today, UEM remains a major contributor to national development by supporting both fundamental research and applied projects tied to Mozambique’s priorities.<\/p>\n

With more than 35,000 students<\/strong> across multiple campuses, UEM offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Portuguese and an increasing number of English-medium tracks. The university also maintains partnerships with African and international institutions, helping students and researchers engage in exchange programs, collaborative research, and regionally relevant knowledge production.<\/p>\n
