Welcome to the UCZ University

Muli bwanji! (Nianja, language of Lusaka)
Muli shani!  (Bemba, language of the Copper Belt)
Greetings from Zambia!

Prayer request for today: the faculty, administration and the 129 students, at the United Church of Zambia University.

Ten kilometres from the city of Kitwe Town Centre, off the Kitwe Chingola Road, sits the United Church of Zambia University (UCZU). Originally situated in a pastoral rural setting, the campus now finds itself surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the town of Mindolo.

The original institution, Kashinda Bible College, was established by the London Missionary society in 1949 in Mporokoso as training centre for the clergy and moved to the Mindolo campus in 1961. The institution currently offers degree programmes in Theology in collaboration with the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. In 2012, the name changed to United Church of Zambia University.

The UCZ University 'strives to create a learning environment where students are encouraged to exercise freedom of thought and grow intellectually under the tutelage of academic staff.'
