Building the Next Generation of Technology Professionals
University College of Technology is a private higher education institution based in Hodan, Mogadishu, Somalia. UCT was formally established and became operational in January 2015 following a year-long feasibility study led by Somali intellectuals and technology professionals.
The university was founded with a clear purpose: to expand access to quality technology education, reduce the digital skills gap, and prepare a new generation of Somali students to participate in an increasingly technology-driven world.
